Hawaii’s Private Island
Across the Molokai Channel, lies the island of Lanai, which at one time was the world’s largest source of pineapple. Today, this island is home to spectacular resorts, boasting impeccable service. It’s quiet, private and pristine. Lanai’s small-town charm and quaintness has made it one of the world’s top tropical destinations.
With only 17 miles of paved roads, it is a perfect island to relax, hike, snorkel, whale-watch, and experience nature to the fullest. Remember to take a four-wheel drive vehicle for the off-road experience Lanai is famous for.
Some not-to-be-missed sites on Lanai include:
- Shipwreck Beach, a great place to comb the beaches for treasure
- Kaunolu Bay, an ancient fishing village where you can search for petroglyphs (rock carvings).
- The peak of Lanaihale, Lanai’s highest point at 3,370 feet, you will see a panoramic view of the whole island – plus Maui, Oahu, Molokai, Kahoolawe, and the Big Island!
