tranquility
Once carpeted with acre upon acre of
pineapples, Lana’i, (Hawaii’s sixth largest
island), is today the newest and most
sheltered in the archipelago.
Lovely Lanai is home to two of the
world’s most celebrated resorts, a
charming plantation-era town, a pair of
truly incomparable golf courses, and
miles of unspoiled wilderness.
This island, home to pristine beaches, is
sparsely populated, has only thirty miles
of paved roads and not a single traffic
light. The secluded destination covers
141 square miles that range in elevation
from sea level to more than 3,400 feet.
The lowlands are fringed with whitesand beaches and rugged sea cliffs,
while the highlands are a mosaic of
meadows and woodlands, laced with
rainbows and mountain mists.

Blue Water Marine Mammal Watch
Humpback whales visit the
Hawaiian Islands but once a
year and mid to late February.
Each year Kohola, the Hawaiian
Humpback whale, swims from
Alaskan feeding grounds to
the warm waters of Hawaii.
Navigating by instinct alone, these
whales journey hundreds of miles across
vast oceans. Hawaii is their winter home, a
place to play, to give birth and to start new
generations.
Schools of Spinner dolphins are typically
spotted on this tour as well. Dolphins and
whales cohabitate peacefully; in fact dolphins
are frequently seen swimming with whales
during and after the birth of a calf.
When you witness a 45-foot whale airborne
it will take your breath away. Seeing these
magnificent creatures up close in their
natural environment is truly an awe-inspiring,
unforgettable experience.

at your leisure
With 18 miles of sandy shoreline, Lanai has some of Hawaii’s
most beautiful, least crowded and most interesting beaches.
Shipwreck Beach
Polihua Beach
Hulopoe Beach
On the northeast side of the
island lies the ruins of an old
lighthouse at Shipwreck Beach
where numerous ships have
wrecked due to the shallow,
rocky channel. In fact, the hull
of the “Liberty Ship,” an oiltanker from the 1940s, still
remains from when it beached
years ago.
So many sea turtles once layed
their eggs on this shore that
Hawaiians named the beach
Polihua, or “egg nest.” Although
the endangered turtles are making
a comeback, they’re seldom seen
here now. This strand is ideal for
beachcombing and fishing.
This palm-fringed,
old-sand beach is bordered
by black-lava fingers,
protecting swimmers from
ocean currents.
