These are only some of the attractions that the island
of Lanai has to offer visitors, and
it is growing all the time. Other attractions would include the beautiful Munro
Trail that offers spectacular views of 5 of the surrounding islands.
Part of the reason for the seclusion of the island
of Lanai is the difficulty in
getting there. Unlike most of the other Hawaiian Islands,
including Molokai which is the next smallest to Lanai,
Lanai has no airport. In order to get to the island one
must travel by ferry from Lahaina in Maui to Manele
Bay.
There is no public transportation in Lanai, and
renting of a vehicle is crucial in order to get around. Because there is less
than 30 miles of paved road on the island, a four-wheel drive vehicle is best.
Some areas, such as the Munro Trail just mentioned require a four-wheel drive
vehicle in order to navigate.
Despite these difficulties, Lanai can offer a truly
amazing experience away from the hustle and bustle of the normal Hawaiian vacation.
If you are seeking something new and exciting on your own Hawaiian vacation, Lanai
may very well be the island for you.
