This road should not only be permanently shut down, it should be wiped off any map currently in circulation that exists with this route. Today, about 30 cars were in a deadly face off with 5 cars coming the other way, in the most treacherous of areas. It all came down to an older couple in the world's largest SUV... More

My wife and I are on our honeymoon. My District Manager told me not to take Highway 340 and how he was scared the entire time. We decided to try it and took breaks along the 16 mile road to enjoy the scenery. We were very lucky it was not that packed. There are no warnings signs of telling us... More

My husband and I didn't know anything about this road and spontaneously decided to take this road back from a day in Kahului. BIG mistake! By the time you realize what you are in for there is no place to turn around, then you keep thinking that it can't get any worse. This road is basically one way all the... More

This drive begins just where the state highway ends. The road gets very narrow and literally hangs off the side of the West Maui Mts. The drive is beautiful but the driver won't get to see much as they'll be concentrating on not driving the car down a cliff a few hundred feet high! Be prepared to meet other cars... More

Highway Route 340 is a misleading description of this 'road'. My wife and I were out for a leisurely drive around the NW part of Maui - Highway 30 I believe, following the coast, watching the whales just off-shore. This is beautiful country. As we continued, we read the signs (danger, falling rocks), but didn't fully comprehend what they were... More

Dear reader, my husband and I are on our honeymoon and just traveled the death defying hwy 340 on the north end of maui, hi. Unknown to us, the 2 lane hwy turns into a beautiful, scenic death plunge of white knuckle driving for what seems to be a forever drive. Not only were we unprepared, drove it from east... More

My wife and I took this drive from Kaanapali and lucked out, since West to East is the way to go. Short of the long is that my wife made me turn around about 1/2 a mile into the final 8 mile stretch, the part where it gets really narrow and hugs some enormous, unguarded cliffs. I was trying to...

My boyfriend and I took this route from east to west from Kahului this past Monday. It was super scary - especially the 8 mile or so stretch where it was basically one lane for two cars - we had to yield or back up for cars traveling in the opposite direction. We were basically hugging the cliffside the whole... More

We took this scenic drive on a glorious sunny day, heading west to east, entering the route from Kapalua - the preferred direction. Coming the other way, East to West would be problematic as the bulk of the traffic comes from West to East. Give yourself plenty of time to enjoy the scenery, both side of the road. This is... More
