So you’ll want to be on the lookout for it!

 

👆 Map of where the Keanae Lookout is located. The main road you see is the Hana Highway aka Road to Hana. As you see, the Keanae Peninsula is off the Hana Highway! Explore the map. Explore more Road to Hana stops, including Nahiku!

 

Even if data does not work on the Road to Hana, GPS generally does.

So download offline google maps before you go (it’s free!) and follow along on your phone so know when you’re getting close!

Driving to the end of Keanae Road

So once you’ve gotten onto Keanae Road, you’ll drive along a somewhat narrow road.

Then, you’ll get your first glimpse of the coastline from sea level on the Keanae Peninsula! There are parking spots here, so you can stop to get out for your the first amazing viewpoint on the Keanae Peninsula.

Then, once you’ve taken in the views, you can keep driving. The next noteworthy spot you’ll come across is Aunty Sandy’s banana bread. This is THE famous banana bread on the Road to Hana.

Then, you can keep driving further until you reach another parking area, and you’ve arrived at the Keanae Point!

 

 

From here, you can walk around and take in the views!

You can walk around on the lava fields, although it’s best not to get too close to the edge of the lava rocks in case of unexpected rogue waves that come crashing onto the rocks that you’re standing on.
