All the way to Hana with no stops

[teammom]

Has anyone left early gone right to Hana w/o stopping and then make all all the stops on the way back? Are the stops easy to find on the way back? or is it easier on the way up.

There's really nothing special about Hana itself, and no reason to rush to get there. It's all about the journey -- not the destination. :)

I read on one post a while ago that someone did that. You could bet the crowds this way. Go straight to the 7 pools and work your way back.

I assume you could, as long as you weren't using a CD or tape for a guide, since everything would be backwards. But I assume you also realize that there is no QUICK way to get to Hana. It's about the road and the journey. The bridges are key. The fastest way from Hana is actually at night where the bridges are clearer and you can see the cars coming. You will still have to stop and wait at each bridge along the way.

My thought was to get to Hana (black sand beach and swimming spots) and be heading back before teenagers got tired and grumpy and wanted to go home we would already be headed home. However I see what you mean about the guides being backwards.
