Lanai City, Hawaii Forecast

Lanai Logo


Among the most serene and secluded of the Hawaiian islands is lovely Lana'i, a land long steeped in an air of mystery and legend. Here, firm red earth meets open blue skies. Acres of towering Norfolk pine stand centurion-like, as if guarding over the island's vastly carpeted feilds of pineapple. Along Lanai's southwestern cape, at Kaunolu Bay, lie the ruins of Kaunolu Village, the site of King Kamehameha's summer residence and one of the most impressive archeological treasures in the whole Hawaiian chain. On the island's windward side, rests the garden of the gods, and eerie, lunar-like playground of wildly strewn boulders and disfigured lava formations. And as elsewhere throughout Hawaii, there are fabulous stretches of beach to discover, places like Hulopo'e Bay and Shipwrech Beach. For a vacation laden with spectacular scenery in peaceful yet provocative surroundings, let Lana'i work its mystical magic on you.

Things to see and do on Lanai

CAVENDISH GOLF COURSE-this 9 hole golf course is within walking distance of Lanai City.


GARDEN OF THE GODS-weird rock formations near Kanepuu change color with the setting sun.
HONOPU BAY-a rocky, fishing ground; area of rough seas frequented by local fishermen.


HULOPOE BAY and MANELE BAY-adjacent bays, Hulopoe has one of Hawaii's most beautiful beaches with shady picnic grounds, fine swimming and body surfing. Manele Bay is a small boat harbor frequented by island yachtsmen and a glass bottom cruise boat from Lahaina, Maui.


KAUNOLU BAY-once the favorite fishing spot of Kamehameha the great; the ruins of ancient Kaunolu Village still stand on this site today.


KEOMUKU VILLAGE-site of Maunalei Sugar Company until 1901, this village became a ghost town when growing sugar failed because sweet water turned brackish and salty.


LANAI CITY-often likened to a New England village, this picturesque town is backed by towering Norfolk pine trees and surrounded by silvery feilds of pineapple. Dole Company's offices are here.


LANAIHALE-from this 3,370 foot vantage point, all of Hawaii's islands except Kauai and Nihau can be seen on a clear day.


LAUHIWA PETROGLYPHS-en route to Palawai Basin, site of an old Mormon Colony, these petroglyphs are among the best preserved in Hawaii.


NAHA TRAIL-paved by Hawaiians more than a century ago, this trail is now a jeep road leading to an old village site.


PUU NENE-2,755 feet, the second largest point of elevation on Lanai. The surrounding area supports many game animals including axis deer.


SHIPWRECK BEACH-on the northeast shore of the island, Shipwreck is a beachcomber's and fisherman's paradise.
