Travel Guide: Lanai, Hawaii
Lanai City
Lanai City is the center of business of the island, and therefore the majority of the island’s best shopping and dining locations are found here. As it is located on an area of highlands, it is much cooler than cities found on the coast. Lanai City is considered one of the United States’ most endangered historic spots, with many notable old sites in danger of demolition.
The Munro Trail
The Munro Trail offers splendid views of the extensive Hawaiian landscape. The trail runs past rain forest, pine trees and canyons. Make sure to stop at the lookout for a stunning picture of the scenery.
Garden of the Gods
Featured roughly 45-minutes outside of Lanai City is a rock garden referred to as the Garden of the Gods. These rock spires and towers were formed by years of erosion, and the entire site is a great spot for a hike.
Sweetheart Rock
Sweetheart Rock is a wondrous natural landmark that rises out of the ocean. Spectacular views of sunsets and even Hulopoe Bay are visible after a hike to the top of this legendary attraction.
The Experience at Koele
Though it is a small island, there is plenty of room for a great golfing experience. This golf course, known as the Experience at Koele, offers great views of the ocean and mountains, and features vivid greens.
