Wai'anapanapa State Park Cabins

Simple state park housekeeping cabins at the Hana black sand beach, one of the few affordable ways to actually sleep past the Hana road

Ages 2–18+
Cost Paid
Duration ~24hrs
Difficulty Easy
Setting Both

Hawaii State Parks rents a small group of simple housekeeping cabins at the black sand beach park outside Hana, along with a tent campground. The cabins are basic, with beds, a kitchen and a bathroom but no resort polish, and they are one of the only affordable ways to actually sleep in Hana rather than driving back the same day. Staying overnight means the black sand beach, the lava tubes and the coastal trail before the day traffic arrives. Reservations are mandatory and the park now controls entry times for visitors.

Stroller Friendly

Pricing

Cabins and campsites must be reserved in advance through Hawaii State Parks, and non-resident park entry and parking reservations are required separately. Cabins release on a rolling window and go quickly (verify)
