Fagan's Cross in Hana, Maui is a hidden gem that offers visitors a unique and tranquil hiking experience. Located in the heart of Hana town, this easy-to-find walking path takes you through lush pasture lands and up a hillside, offering breathtaking panoramic views of the surrounding greenery. The trail, which is approximately 1.5 miles round trip with a 500-foot elevation gain, provides a peaceful and reflective journey that allows you to truly appreciate the natural beauty of Hana. The highlight of the hike is reaching Fagan's Cross, a stone memorial dedicated to Paul Fagan, the founder of Hotel Hana Maui, offering stunning vistas of the Hana district and the ocean beyond.

Visitors are advised to come prepared with sturdy shoes, rain gear, water, and snacks. As the trail passes through privately owned land and pasture lands, it is important to be mindful of livestock and cattle grates along the way. No reservations are needed, and the trail is open from sunrise to sunset. The hike begins at the corner of the Travassa Hana Resorts guest parking lot, marked by a small wooden gate. From there, you will ascend the small mountainside, enjoying scenic breaks along the way, until you reach the stone cross. It is worth noting that there may be ant infestations around the cross, so caution is advised when placing food or backpacks on the ground. Fagan's Cross is a must-visit destination for those seeking a peaceful and awe-inspiring experience in Hana.

Nice fun hike up to Fagan's Cross, and wonderful views of Hana Town and Hana Bay. It can be steep at times though, but well worth the effort and time. Surprisingly, I did not see any information...

If you enjoy a medium size walk this is your ticket to try. The view of all Hana Bay is the best. On the way you will see many lovely flowers and even a few cows if they are in the area.
