Best Things to Do in Lanai

Visitors come to Lanai hoping for remote luxury. To best stir up the feeling of isolation, do some off-roading en route to the island's best natural wonders. On the northern coast, Polihua Beach and Shipwreck Beach offer secluded sands fit for romantics. And on the way there, they might stop at the Garden of the Gods, a bizarre natural rock garden with many local legends. On the south side, travelers savor their time on the sands of Hulopoe Bay and on the fairways at two exceptional golf courses -- the Experience at Koele and the Challenge at Manele. To complete your dream Hawaiian vacation, venture to the Munro Trail -- the only place where you can see all six Hawaiian Islands at once.
