Lanai Beach Highlights

By Travel Expert: Linda Samuel

  • Travel by shuttle or rent a car; there are no buses on the island.
  • Pack a sweater. The warmest months peak at 72 degrees, 82 on the beach.
  • Toss a frisbee or seek shade beneath a tall pine at Dole Park.
  • Truck it up Munro Trail. The climb is steep, forcing drivers to appreciate the canyons, mighty pines, and surrounding islands.

Lanai Overview

An old shield volcano in the rain shadow of Maui, Lanai (pronounced lah-nigh-ee) is the nation's biggest defunct pineapple patch -- and now claims to be one of the world's top tropical destinations. It's a bold claim because so little is here. There are no direct flights from the mainland, and there's nary a stoplight on the island's mere 30 miles of paved road. It's almost as if this quiet, gentle oasis -- known, paradoxically, for both its small-town feel and its celebrity appeal -- demands that its visitors go to great lengths to get here in order to ensure that they will appreciate it.
