Hāʻena Parking Pass: How It Works and What to Do If It's Sold Out

A Hāʻena parking pass is the pass visitors want when they plan to drive into Hāʻena State Park. It sells out quickly because park parking is limited.

Short answer

If you are driving, look for Parking + Entry. If it is sold out, check shuttle passes from Waipā Park & Ride and monitor cancellations for your date.

Pass basics

What the Hāʻena parking pass covers

One vehicle

Parking + Entry is tied to a vehicle and reserved time window. Every vehicle needs its own valid parking reservation.

Park entry

Parking reservations include entry for the covered visitors under current Go Hāʻena rules.

Limited supply

Because parking is capped, it is usually the reservation type that disappears first.

Sold out?

Your backup plan when parking is gone

Try shuttle access

A Go Hāʻena shuttle pass can still get you to the park when parking is unavailable. Start with the Waipā shuttle pass guide.

Monitor cancellations

Parking pass cancellations can reopen later. Alerts are useful because reopened parking can be claimed quickly.
