Huelo Lookout

The Road to Hana


The fruit stand itself is tempting enough: drinking coconuts, pineapples, smoothies, acai bowls, banana bread and French crepes. But it doesn’t stop there: take your goodies down the steps, where there’s a shack selling waffles and sugarcane juice, and a table with a coastal panorama. Find it at mile 4.5.
