Top Reasons to Go to Lanai

Seclusion and serenity: Lanai is small; local motion is slow motion. Get into the spirit and go home rested.

Keahiakawelo (Garden of the Gods): Walk amid the eerie red-rock spires that Hawaiians still believe to be a sacred spot. The ocean views are magnificent, too; sunset is a good time to visit.

A dive at Cathedrals: Explore underwater pinnacle formations and mysterious caverns illuminated by shimmering rays of light.

Dole Park: Hang out in the shade of the Cook pines in Lanai City and talk story with the locals for a taste of old-time Hawaii.

Hit the water at Hulopoe Beach: This beach may have it all—good swimming, a shady park for perfect picnicking, great reefs for snorkeling, and sometimes schools of spinner dolphins.
