Travel Vlog: Maui to Lanai (Day Trip)
Hi my foxes, today you'll be visiting the island of Lanai. Sixth largest of the Hawaiian islands. Lanai is 18 miles long, with a population of approximately 3000. There are no stop lights on the island and only a few main roads are paved, many landmarks are accessible only by dirt roads.

If you plan to go exploring and get off the beaten path, rent a 4-wheel drive vehicle. However, if you're coming over from Maui on a day trip and just want to relax on the beach and walk around town (Lanai City), it not necessary to rent a car.

After departing the ferry at the Manele Small Boat Harbor, it a short 5 minute walk to Hulopo'e beach, a sunny white sand beach and marine preserve. It an overall beautiful beach to relax on, snorkel, watch dolphins, enjoy a picnic, go for a hike along the coast... There are public restrooms, which were very clean and well maintained, might I add.

From the beach, you can walk up to the hotel overlooking the bay, the Four Seasons Resort Lanai at Manele. It plush, luxurious, and a room here will run you a cool $480 and up a night.

At the hotel, you can ask for a shuttle day pass, it $10 per person and allows you to get on/off the shuttle all day. Though keep in mind, this is just general transportation, it only makes a few stops. It not about to take you 4-wheeling or touring all the landmarks you want to see around the island. That something you'll have to go for on your own. ;)

The Lanai landscape features contrasts ranging from white sand beaches with coconut palms swaying in the breeze to golden grasslands and rugged red earth to pine tree forests.

It a small island but well worth exploring. This was a good day trip for relaxing. Though Michael and I always love an adventure, so I can see our next Lanai trip may involve 4 wheeling and getting a little dirty. ;D

We hope you enjoyed this video, thanks for watching!
xoxo,
Christine
