Top Reasons to Go

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

Garden of the Gods: Walk amid the eerie red-rock spires that Hawaiians 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 lighted 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 plenty of spinner dolphins.
