7 Things to do Good for a Rainy Day in Lanai That You Shouldn't Miss
Once a mere pineapple patch, the red-dirt island of Lanai is an oasis of calm. Reaching the island is difficult - no direct flights from the mainland - but once you arrive, the tropical surroundings are the ideal backdrop for snorkeling and scuba diving, swimming in Hulopoe Bay (a marine preserve), whale watching, horseback riding, golfing, hiking, four-wheeling and exploring the red spires of the Garden of the Gods. The 1920s-era town is small but quaint, and the locals go out of their way to be friendly.

We could have spent a lot more time and money here. Jenna greeted us warmly and was genuinely interested in us as we shopped. Even my husband, who doesn’t really like to shop, enjoyed this place. We found cute Lanai shirts, and some other great souvenirs. Definitely stop here when checking out Lanai City.

It is nice having a movie theater on Lana'i with two current movie titles each week. Seems like they rotate often so maybe each title only available for two weeks. The theater is nice, clean, and all and all great asset to the community.

4.5 based on 10 reviews
Dis (Barry) and Dat (Suzie) visited Lanai from Florida to look at buying a retirement home. They found their home and moved to Lanai to retire. Retirement didn't last. A few years later, outgoing Barry and Suzie started searching for unusual, finely crafted teak and exotic wood sculptures and carvings. Along the way, they took a shine to mobiles and wind chimes -- the more outrageous, the better. Then they started collecting handmade jewelry, stained glass, and unique garden ornaments and home decor. All this led to this eclectic store, which you have to see to believe. Meeting Barry is worth the trip alone. You'll find designer jewelry,1000's of windchimes, crystals and gongs, whimsical dragonfly lamps, handcarvings , and fabulous home and garden decor. This is also the biggest collection of Hawaiian slippah necklaces, earrings, anklets, and bracelets. You can't miss the vivid green shop with hanging chimes and mobiles leading the way to the front door, with their mascot '59 Nash Metropolitan "chuggo" sitting proudly outfront.~Find us on Facebook~Aloha!

We spent quite a bit of time at this small museum in Lanai City during our day trip to Lanai. The exhibits are superbly maintained and displayed. We come away with great appreciation of Lanai culture, heritage and history. The two-hull sailboat model is exceptional. The little garden in front of the museum is well worth exploring in detail.
