Top 10 Things to do Good for Couples in Lanai, Lanai

October 22, 2021 Flossie Demartino

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.

Polihua Beach

An isolated white sand beach.

Reviewed By CircleTheWorld - Chicago, United States

75-minute drive from Lanai City on a rutty jeep trail. The first 45 minutes is smooth dirt, followed by 30 minutes of rough, rocky terrain. If you have the wherewithal to withstand a good jostling, you will be rewarded by a lovely, mostly deserted 1.5-mile-long natural beach at the end of your journey. The sharp contrast between sand and red dirt near the shoreline is startling. Do not drive on the sand; your jeep could get stuck and ruin your afternoon. The big letdown is that you cannot swim at this beach, due to a steep drop-off and strong currents. Nonetheless, the undisturbed shoreline is perfect for a beach walk. The sand is quite deep.

Manele Golf Course

This 18-hole, par-72 course over 7,039 yards runs on red lava fields along a scenic coastline, offering stimulating challenges like drives over cliff, deep gorges and ravines with flags very close to the cliff's edge.

Reviewed By philgleason1 - Charlotte, United States

I played the course several times. The ocean views are spectacular on so many of the holes. The number 12 is is breathtaking and I could have stayed there, forever. Perfect greens, fairways and tee boxes - the landscaping is a 10. The starters were so helpful, and the driving range was exceptional with Pro V1 practice balls. The cart had GPS and digital score cards. I can hardly wait to return and play it again and again.

The Lana’i Cat Sanctuary is a wonderful place to visit on Lana’i. There are over 600 cats that have been rescued around the island and brought to the sanctuary to live. They spay and neuter the animals to help control the population and the sanctuary keeps the cat safe as well as protects endangered birds on the island. They fly in a veterinarian twice a month so the cats are well cared for and their medical needs are met. If you are an animal lover and especially enjoy cats, this is the perfect place to spend a few hours. Bring a box of treats with you and find a seat among the many options available and soon you’ll be surrounded.

Lanai Jeep Rentals

Reviewed By DalTexN

We wanted to take a day trip from Maui to Lanai so we arranged our jeep rental first with John, then bought the ferry tickets. John picked us up at the dock and drove us up to Lanai City to do the paperwork. He told us where to go, how to get there - also told us where not to go and provided a map. It was spot on! We had a great day exploring Lanai - Shipwreck Beach, Garden of the Gods, the abandoned Ka Lanakila O Ka Malamalama Church in Keomoku. We picked up souvenir t-shirts and hats from Local Gentry and grabbed lunch and drinks from Richard’s Market. Would definitely recommend a trip to Lanai and get your jeep from John!

Oh yes! This beach is picturesque, quiet, serene, great walking path with views of Sweetheart rock, and outstanding snorkeling! We were in Lanai for 5 days and I would go back there in a heartbeat. Hulopoe Beach checked all the boxes. Also, it has a beautiful picnic area and clean restrooms.

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.
