Teams must fly to Kahului, Maui, Hawaii, United States. Upon arrival, teams must travel by taxi to Beach Access 118 at Keokea Beach Homestead to find their next clue.

This leg's Detour was aired as a miscellaneous task, as all teams chose the same side of the Detour. The second half of the Detour is unknown.

Choice A: Unknown
Teams would have to properly season a 145 lb pig with island seasonings. They then have to attach it to a bamboo pole and carry it 200 yards across the beach to a Hawaiian luau. There, they have to properly cover it with leaves to prepare it for kalua cooking. Teams would then receive their next clue.

All teams chose this task.

Teams must travel by taxi to McGregor Point. Once there, teams must get on a personal water craft and ride 1 mile along a marked path and search a field of 100 buoys. They have to search the buoys for one of four that had their next clue attached to it.

Teams must travel by taxi to the Surfboard Fence at Kaohu Farms to search for their next clue.

The team member assigned to perform this Roadblock would have to search through a pile of more than 300 surfboards for eleven that displayed a picture depicting a task, location, or person related to the ten previous legs of the race from one of the first ten legs, Leg 10 being represented twice, with the remaining surfboards had pictures depicting unrelated objects, some of which were pictures showing tasks from previous seasons. Then they have to arrange the surfboards in a fence in chronological order of their appearance during the Race. When all eleven surfboards are displayed in the correct order, they will receive their next clue.
