A Fresh Perspective on Travel Every Day
Few places in Hawaii are as untouched as the sibling islands of Moloka’i and Lana’i. Rare are the high-rises, shopping centers, and crowded beaches of the other islands. Instead, visitors can immerse themselves in the tales of the islands’ past.
The island of Lana’i is the most misunderstood of all the Hawaiian Islands. It also ranks as one of the least visited among the main Hawaiian Islands. In 2014, only 67,106 individuals visited Lana’i, compared to the staggering 5,159,078 who explored Oahu, 2,397,307 who visited Maui, 1,445,939 who traveled to Hawaii Island, and the 1,113,605 who discovered Kauai. Surprisingly, the island of Moloka’i saw even fewer visitors, with approximately 59,132.
Our picks for the best beaches in Hawaii include four beaches from each of the major islands: Hawaii Island (the Big Island), Kauai, Maui, and Oahu. We also include two beaches on the island of Lana’i and one on Moloka’i.
Lanai Island, Hawaii, may not be the most famous Hawaiian destination, yet it offers breathtaking landscapes and unique experiences worth exploring. Most travelers typically visit Lanai on a day trip from Maui, but a week spent on Lanai reveals countless amazing activities that assure a memorable Hawaiian getaway. From the stunning Garden of the Gods to the luxurious amenities at the Four Seasons Resort Lanai, visitors will discover a delightful blend of natural beauty and lavish relaxation.
When visiting the island of Lanai in Hawaii, we were surprised to see just how dry it was. Like many tropical islands we have traveled to around the world, we have noticed how man has decimated every piece of land he takes over. With little regard for the future, early European settlers of Hawaii ruined many ecosystems, and the Hawaiian Islands are no different.
