The Road to Hana has many awesome sights, but since it's pretty much a full day's trip, we decided to take the kids (and Panda) for a hike through the bamboo forest. What a cool place! It's like another world right off of the highway and you would never know it was there. you essentially have to descend into the valley on a narrow path until you get to the water and can follow that around to the various waterfalls. It felt like something you'd see in a movie or on something Bear Grylis would host on television.
Panda very much enjoyed the trip. He ate so much bamboo that he was "stuffed". When we got to the main waterfall there were people jumping into the pond and swimming. And since they looked like a bunch of surfer dudes and girls, it really felt like we were living in some sort of commercial for bottled water or beer. It was a simple hike, but it was definitely one of the more memorable experiences of our trip.
