What’s so special about Lanai (lah-nigh-ee) Hawaii
Lanai is accessible by air or ferry which runs between the island and Maui at least five times a day. The Lodge at Koele and the Four Seasons Resort Lanai is now becoming known as an international tropical holiday destination.
Lanai is the place to go if you are looking to get away from the hectic world of the city. Lanai is the smallest of Hawaii’s islands. (140 square miles). If you want a remote getaway from it all, Lanai is still largely as it was, a timeless landscape that offers a glimpse into the Hawaii of another era.
Lanai is privacy, peace and tranquility with luxurious award-winning resorts, world-class championship golf courses, water and land adventure, historic tours of Hawaiian temples and island history.
Lanai was once the location of the largest pineapple plantation the world up until the end of the 20th century when it once produced 75 percent of the world’s pineapple.
The island is surrounded by pristine beaches undisturbed by the hustle and bustle of tourists, hiking and 4-wheel drive adventures that will lead you into the primitive interior pine forests where few have visited. |
