Main attractions on Lana'i
• Hulopo’e Bay and Manele Bay •
Hulopo’e Bay is the center of the island of Lanai’s
beach activities and home to ancient fishing village. The wide
white sand crescent, lined at each end with dramatic lava outcroppings,
invites swimming, snorkeling, and tide pool exploration. Water
temperature stays around 75 F year-round. The beach is a wonderful
place to hang out - barbecue grills, restrooms, and picnic tables
are on site.
You can watch schools of spinner dolphins leaping and diving
in the bay. From November through April, the dolphins are joined
by their gregarious relatives, the breaching humpback whales.
Located around the corner from Hulopo’e, Manele Bay is
also a marine preserve with the only public boat harbor on the
island. All south shore ocean tours originate at Manele Harbor:
fishing boats, yachts, the Expeditions ferry, whale-watching,
snorkel sails, scuba diving and ocean rafting.
• Munro Trail •
The Munro Trail is one of the most rewarding hikes on Lanai.
Winding upward through lush rainforest and Cook pines, this challenging
8-mile trek takes you to the top of the island's only mountain,
the 3,370-foot-high Lana'ihale. Once you reach the peak, astounding
views of at least three, and sometimes five neighbor islands (Maui,
Moloka’i, Kaho’olawe, Hawai’i and O’ahu) will
unfold of steep gulches below. View Munro Trail Map
• Garden of the Gods •
This haunting geological wonder is located a mile and a half
northwest of the Kanepu’u Preserve on Lanai, Hawaii. Centuries
of wind erosion have created an eerie lunar landscape with rock
formations in all shades of purple, red, sienna, umber. The surroundings
look like a painter’s palette of the earth.
• The Cathedrals •
If you are a scuba diver, put the Cathedrals dive site on your
must-do list. The cathedral-like chambers created by 60-foot pinnacles
are filled with marine life. As you explore the countless nooks
and pukas of the First and Second Cathedral, you will come face
to face with schools of blue-stripe snappers, pyramid butterfly
fish, shrimp and corals.
• Golf •
Lanai’s two championship golf courses have earned worldwide
recognition for both layout and views. The Experience at Ko’ele
is a spectacular 18-hole course spread high over a plateau and
the rolling hills of central Lanai. Designed by Greg Norman and
Ted Robinson, the 7,017-yard, par-72 course is set nearly 2,000
feet above sea level, with views of Maui and Moloka’i directly
across the channel.
At sea level, The Challenge at Manele is built on hundreds
of acres of lava fields and dry, desert-like terrain that present
their ultimate challenge at the ocean: three holes built on the
bluffs above Hulopo’e Bay, where the Pacific Ocean is the
world’s largest water hazard. The 7,039-yard, par-72 course
was designed by Jack Nicklaus and features panoramic ocean views
from all 18 holes.
• Sporting Clays •
One of the fastest growing sports in the country has found
its perfect setting: the northwestern hills of Lanai, Hawaii.
The 15-acre Lana’i Pines Sporting Clays offers 4 target shooting
disciplines (trap, skeet, compact sporting, or sporting clays)
with a bonus: gorgeous views of Maui and Moloka’i across
the channel.
The 14-station sporting clay course meanders through old ironwood
forests and groves of Australian eucalyptus trees, presenting
challenges of varying terrains and targets. The clay targets,
mimicking traditional game such as flushed pheasants and rabbits,
are launched in random patterns.
For a soundless kind of target practice, aim for the pineapple
bull’s eye in the archery range next to the sporting clay
course. Instructors teach all ages and levels on first-rate equipment:
15-pound bows for children and 20- and 25-pound bows for adults,
for both right- and left-handed archers. Even beginners discover
that the bull’s eye – 5, 10, 15, and 20 yards away –
is not so far after all.
• Kanepu’u Preserve •
Located in the quiet central uplands of Lanai island, Kanepu’u
Preserve is a nature lover's jewel. This 590-acre preserve is
the last dryland forest of its kind in the world, home to over
40 species of precious native Hawaiian plants, including lama
(native ebony), olopua (native olive), Lana’i sandalwood,
and na’u (native gardenia).
