Part 2: Lipoa Ridge to Wailuku (1hr 48min)
Beginning at Lipoa Ridge, we immediately face a huge climb – the road winding high above the Pacific with spectacular views. We take a break at a village on Kahakuola Beach and stop at Julia’s Banana Bread stand. Then the real challenge begins up Pu’u Kukui along Highway 340 – nicknamed “Death Road” for its narrow, winding path that climbs to a maximum elevation of 1,764 feet. The ride concludes in downtown Wailuku.
