After all, life\u2019s not about the destination, but the journey. So, sit back, relax, and enjoy the ride on some of the Islands\u2019 most scenic drives:<\/p>\n<h4>Kuhio Highway\u00a0(Kauai)<\/h4>\n<p>Lush beauty abounds on Kauai, and any drive on the island is a sight to be seen. But a cruise down Kuhio Highway will take you along the coast from the island\u2019s southeastern shore to the northern region of Hanalei. You\u2019ll see exactly why the island has become the backdrop for so many Hollywood films.<\/p>\n<h4>North Shore\u00a0(Oahu)<\/h4>\n<p>A trip to the \u201ccountry\u201d as locals would say is a \u201cmust do\u201d on Oahu. While there are several routes to get there, hop on the H3 freeway for grand views of the lush green Koolau Mountains. Continue north on Kamehameha Highway and keep an eye on the shoreline (located just steps from your car) for views of Mokolii Island near Kualoa and the white sand beaches along the way.<\/p>\n<h4>Hana Highway\u00a0(Maui)<\/h4>\n<p>The 52-mile road to Hana is known as much for its scenic tropical views and waterfalls as it is for its twists and hairpin turns. Beyond Hana are the beautiful Pools of Oheo, the perfect reward after a long drive on Maui.<\/p>\n<h4>Hamakua Heritage Corridor\u00a0(Hawaii Island)<\/h4>\n<p>Take in the breathtaking sights of Hawaii Island\u2019s natural landscape as you drive along sea cliffs, through lush valleys and tropical rainforests, up the Hamakua Coast. Begin north of Hilo on Hawaii Belt Road and venture off to the Onomea Scenic Drive, followed by stops at Akaka Falls State Park, Laupahoehoe Point, and Honokaa town. End your drive at the Waipio Valley lookout for a rewarding view of the lush landscape, beautiful waterfalls, and a stunning black sand beach.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heading out for a drive around any of the Hawaiian Islands hardly qualifies as a \u201croad trip\u201d in U.S. mainland terms.
