'''Hawaii Route 30''', also known as the '''Honoapiʻilani Highway''', is a {{convert|35|mi|km|adj=mid|-long}}<ref name="google maps"/> road on West Maui, Hawaii.
It begins in downtown Wailuku, extending south through Waikapu and Māʻalaea before turning west. This portion of the highway, between Māʻalaea and Olowalu, is also known as ''the pali'' (Hawaiian for "cliff"), as the highway winds between large cliff faces.<ref>{{cite web |title=Tuesday night closures on Honoapiʻilani Highway for rock scaling and removal {{!}} Maui Now |url=https://mauinow.com/2026/01/16/tuesday-night-closures-on-honoapi%CA%BBilani-highway-for-rock-scaling-and-removal/ |website=Tuesday night closures on Honoapiʻilani Highway for rock scaling and removal |access-date=6 May 2026 |date=16 January 2026}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |title=State declares portion of Maui highway a disaster area after landslides |url=https://www.staradvertiser.com/2019/02/26/breaking-news/state-declares-portion-of-maui-highway-a-disaster-area-after-landslides/ |website=Honolulu Star-Advertiser |access-date=6 May 2026 |language=en |date=26 February 2019}}</ref> This part of the highway, which opened in 1951, replaced a one-lane road higher in the hills.

Following the terrain of the island, the highway continues to circumvent the West Maui Forest Reserve connecting Olowalu, Launiupoko, Lahaina, Kahana, through the regions of Kapalua and Honolua, and ending in Honokohau Bay. At this point the road continues as the Kahekili Highway, a "notoriously narrow and twisty" county-maintained road covering the northern coastline of West Maui and eventually terminating back in Wailuku.<ref>{{cite web |title= Kahekili Highway |url= http://www.hawaiihighways.com/photos-Kahekili-Hwy.htm |website= Hawaii Highways: Road Photos |accessdate= September 16, 2015 |date= 2006 |last= Voss |first= Oscar}}{{self-published source|date=December 2015}}</ref> The eastern part of Kahekili Highway is signed as Hawaii Route 340.
