Welcome to the Island of Lanai

Lanai, also called the "Pineapple Island", sits just 8 miles off the coast of Maui, directly across the channel from Lahaina.

Lanai has an interesting history from early settlement by the Polynesians to today's world-class visitor destination.

In the 1800's Lanai was purchased by the Dole family and became the major producer for the Dole Pineapple Company. This role has diminished in recent years and Lanai has now taken a front seat in the tourist industry.

The smallest of the major Hawaiian Islands, and the least populated, Lanai has a mystique that continues to attract visitors. And why not? Its pristine white sand beaches, its two famous luxury resorts (Manele Bay Hotel and the Lodge at Koele), its world-class golf courses, its abundant reefs and striking coastline, its tremendous diving locations, and its sizable dolphin population have proved to be powerful draws for visitors from around the world. There is something for everyone on this lovely little island called "Lanai".

Tours and Activities in Lanai - Options:

Take the ferry from Lahaina and spend the day golfing, visiting the hotels, or exploring the rugged interior by jeep. Sail over to Manele Bay where you can enjoy excellent snorkeling and then take a guided tour of the island. A remote white sand beach is waiting at the Halepalaoa region of the island. You can spend the day in a hammock, sipping "Lanai Tais", or snorkel, kayak, take a tour of historic sites, play volleyball go horseback riding or shoot clays, the day is yours on Lanai's special desert island hideaway. A zodiac trip around the island is an adventurous way to spend a full or half day, and a great way to explore marine life and spectacular scenery. Love the ocean, suffer from seasickness? We have a boat for you! It's a luxury vessel, especially designed to cut through the waves, remaining as stable and unmoving as your living room back home.
