Wākiu Ahupua`a pairs old Hawai‘i land stewardship with everyday livability on the eastern edge of Hāna. Lush valleys, sea cliffs, and steady trade winds set the scene, while the black sands at Waiʻānapanapa State Park and calm waters of Hāna Bay invite weekend swims, fishing, and sunrise walks. The Hāna Highway turns even routine errands into a scenic drive, and quiet nights are scored by surf and rain.
Families are served by Hāna High & Elementary School, a small K–12 campus known for tight-knit classes and Hawaiian studies. Local heritage is preserved at the Hāna Cultural Center, while culture meets ecology at Kahanu Garden, home to Piʻilanihale Heiau, one of the largest known ancient temples in Polynesia. For bigger adventures, the Kīpahulu District of Haleakalā National Park is a short drive for the Pipiwai Trail and Waimoku Falls. Everyday care is close at Hāna Health, and community events and markets keep neighbors connected.
Life here leans toward acreage, orchards, and ocean-view homes, with many residents tending gardens or casting from shoreline ledges. Essential services are in Hāna town, with occasional supply runs to Kahului or Paia elsewhere in Maui County.
