General presentation
Lanai
Small island of red plateaus, isolated bays and contrasting landscapes.
To understand what Lanai is, you have to look at Hulopoe Bay, Puu Pehe and Garden of the Gods. These places give you a view of a territory marked by island landscapes, coastline and natural spaces and allow you to move from emblematic sites to more intimate stages.
See all
For a stay of 2 to 5 days, a quiet rhythm works well. Also to be anticipated: conditions to be checked according to the season. A car is usually the easiest way to connect different sectors. Accessibility varies from site to site and deserves to be checked step by step.

Places worth visiting
A selection to start dreaming and organizing the stay — not an exhaustive list of everything there is to see.
Nature and landscape
Hulopoe Bay
Hulopo的e Bay forms a golden sand cove bordered by volcanic rocks, with often clear water that attracts swimmers and snorkeling enthusiasts. Tide basins reveal fish and small organisms at low tide, while dolphins can sometimes go offshore in the bay.

Puu Pehe
Puche Pehe, often called Sweetheart Rock, stands like a reddish rock blade between Mānele and Hulopos Bay. The short coastal trail offers views of cliffs, waves and this formation linked to a tragic Hawaiian legend; the razing light reinforces the colours of the stone.
Garden
Garden of the Gods
Garden of the Gods, or Keahiakawelo, unfolds a dry landscape of carved rocks, red earth and almost lunar horizons in the north-west of Lāna的i. The site changes a lot with light: in the evening, the blocks take on copper hues and Maui or Moloka的i can cut off in the distance in clear weather.
Place indismissible
Lanai City
Lanai City Around Dole Park you can find shops, cafés and small addresses that give the daily rhythm of the island. Its quiet streets, houses inherited from the pineapple plantations and cooler climate at altitude make it a simple anchor to understand the local life of Lānasei.
