Driving Wild One Lane Kahekili Highway 340 on Maui Hawaii
Drove around the West Maui Mountains from Kihei to Kahului. Turns from beautiful beach level views to awesome sea cliffs. After Mokolea Point the road turns into one lane and almost 360 turns. You'll be advised that you are driving it at your own risk. The road itself was in great shape. A local told me to just take it slow and honk before the corners. I would highly recommend having some one with you to spot ahead while you're driving, especially if it's your first time. M was my eagle eyed navigator and camerawoman, and I salute her. Opaka paka!!! :)
Near the middle of the video we drive through the village of Kahakuloa. By the end of the one lane section my hands were sore from gripping the steering wheel. I saw a pile a wrecked vehicles which I presume were those that didn't make it to the end.
I have video from my helicopter flight of the road and cliffs from above that is also posted.

Turned on my GoPro on during one of the many one lane areas of Kahekili Highway on the Southwest side of Maui. It’s not a highway a recommend for those that get nervous while driving but I personally thought it was a lot of fun!

Maui - Sightseeing along Kahekili Highway (Hawaii Travel Vlog 8)
This video is long overdue!
This was the final day being in Hawaii. We didn't have to fly out until 10:00pm so we had pretty much the whole day in Maui.
We were going to do some hikes down Kahekili Highway, but the road was closed due to construction so we were not able to get to the hikes we wanted to do.
We ended up stopping at Turnbull Studios and viewing some of the art they had on display.
We also enjoyed good food and even better views!
Thanks for watching!

Wailuku is a census-designated place in and county seat of Maui County, Hawaiʻi, United States. The population was 15,313 at the 2010 census. It is the county seat of Maui County. Wailuku is located just west of Kahului, at the mouth of the ʻĪao Valley. In the early 20th century Wailuku was the main tourist destination on Maui, though it has since been eclipsed with the rise of the resort towns such as Kaʻanapali, so much that there are no hotels to speak of in Wailuku.
Historic sites in the town include Kaʻahumanu Church (named after one of Hawaiʻi's great monarchs, Queen Kaʻahumanu) which dates to 1876, the Wailuku Civic Center Historic District, the site of the Chee Kung Tong Society Building, and the Bailey House, a 19th-century former seminary and home that houses a history museum and the Maui Historical Society. There are two ancient temples near Wailuku, called heiau — the Halekiʻi Heiau and the Pihanakalani Heiau. Both date back hundreds of years and were used for religious purposes by the native Hawaiians. Wailuku is served by Kahului Airport.
Home to Maui’s most famous Hawaiian rulers, site of Kamehameha’s decisive 1790 victory at the Battle of Kepaniwai in the Iao Valley, location of the 19th century Mission Station and birthplace of the mighty sugar industry, Wailuku illustrates the powerful influences which shaped the town, the island and the state. The area was a center of power and population in pre-historic Hawaii. In the mid-1800s it was irrevocably changed when New England missionaries brought their religious beliefs, western skills and implements and new agricultural methods. By the 1860s the Wailuku Sugar Company (owned by C. Brewer & Co.) and other plantations were busy growing and milling sugarcane. Miles of ditches were dug, bringing irrigation water from deep in the mountains to the vast fields of central Maui, and the sugar industry flourished.
Wailuku is the new home of Maui's Golden Baseball League expansion franchise, called Na Koa Ikaika Maui. It is also the hometown of Boston Red Sox outfielder Shane Victorino and Atlanta Braves catcher Kurt Suzuki. Wailuku also hosts the Maui Bowling Center, which has hosted a strong number of local bowling leagues since its grand opening in 1948. The building was originally constructed in 1945 as a furniture store but was later converted in 1948 for use as a ten-lane bowling alley. The alley utilized manual pin-setters from its opening until 1961, when it converted to automatic setting machines. Located at the corner of Market Street and Vineyard Street in Wailuku.
