Lanai Attractions and Things to do on Lanai
Garden of the GodsRocks and boulders are scattered across a crimson landscape as if some divine being had placed them there as a sculpture garden. Adjacent is a self-guided nature trail leading through the Kanepuu Preserve, a unique dryland forest hosting some 48 native species, including the endangered Hawaiian gardenia.
Koele Golf and Croquet
Challenge mom and dad to a round or two of golf at the Lodge at Koele's 18-hole Executive Putting Course, the miniature version of the world-class Experience at Koele golf course. Or croquet anyone? Under the large banyan trees, play croquet or lawn bowling on the lodge's wide-open green lawn.
Shipwreck Beach
Kaiolohia Beach or "Shipwreck" Beach is the best place for beachcombers looking for "treasures" from beach glass to drfit wood to glass floats. The strong currents and coral reefs have caused many "shipwrecks" although the Liberty Ship from World War II was purposely sunk on the reef and still remains visible.
Hulopoe Bay
Hulopoe Bay is Lanai's best spot to see spinner dolphins and humpback whales. Or explore lava tidepools along the bay's south shore during low tide but don't disturb the marine life since the bay is a protected marine preserve. Next to Hulapoe, is Manele Bay where from time to time the endangered Hawaiian turtle and monk seal are spotted on the shoreline.
Lanai Arts
Learn to paint beautiful and colorful "masterpieces" like Van Gogh, Monet and other artists. Instructors will teach you how to paint in acrylic on canvas, which is the best souvenir of your visit to Lanai!
Stables at Koele
Welcome to the Koele corral! Mosey on down to the Stables at Koele where instructors will teach you how to ride horseback on the most gentle, well-trained and kid-friendly horses on Lanai.
