  Waianapanapa timed entry

  The black sand beach at the far end of the Hana road takes non-residents by reservation only, in a set arrival window released thirty days ahead. Turning up without one is a turn-around at the gate. Fonte ↗

  Around 620 bends and 46 one-lane bridges, taken by everyone at once between nine and three. Leaving Paia before seven, or staying the night in Hana, is the difference between a drive and a queue. Fonte ↗

Movimentado — The Hana road convoy

• Natureza

  Upcountry jacaranda

  1 Mai – 15 Jun · normalmente

  The road up through Kula towards Haleakala goes purple for about six weeks in late spring, a good enough reason on its own to drive upcountry rather than stay on the coast. Fonte ↗

• Temporada

  Trade wind and windsurf season

  1 Mai – 30 Set · normalmenteTemporada de vento

  The trades blow hardest through the summer, prevalent 80-95% of the time from May to September, and Hookipa on the north shore is where the sailors and kites go for it. The same wind is what makes those beaches unpleasant for anything else. Fonte ↗

Lotação máxima — The Hana road convoy, Summer break em Estados Unidos

• Risco

  Central Pacific hurricane season

  1 Jun – 30 Nov

  Most systems track well south of the islands and pass as a few days of heavy swell and rain. A direct hit is rare, but the season is also when the trade winds are least reliable. Fonte ↗

• Temporada

  Calmest water and warmest sea

  15 Jun – 15 Out · normalmenteMar bom para nadar

  Summer flattens the north and west shores and warms the water into the high twenties, which is why the snorkelling boats to Molokini run best then. The south swell only affects the Kihei side.
