If you are heading to Hana, I would highly recommend that you stay the night in Hana so that you can enjoy the trip and really get to see all that Hana has to offer. We were the first people at the 7 Sacred Pools and on the hike above the pools to the falls, which was a real treat! Hana is crowded in the afternoon with all the day trippers, so it is great to stay and enjoy the area in a quitter setting.
