Tips from the Community
Shark's Bay is a secluded and easily accessible shore. Some people prefer to make the short trek to this beach to get away from the crowds at the much more popular Hulopoe Bay next to the resort. This bay has red lava cliffs, a small sandy cove, and what is known as "Sweethearts rock".

Located on the southwest coast of Lana’i, this Deep Draft Harbor is a recently renovated water break for this commercial harbor. The total project cost just over $28mm and had an additional rock wall attached (for an extra cost)! You can sit on top of the rock wall and enjoy unobstructed views of the sunset and can even spot whales December through May.

Hi‘i Trail is a easy trail filled with fresh eucalyptus and plenty of shade. The trail itself is well groomed and winds in and out of the forest to provide occasional overlooks of the forest stretching down to the ocean.

Huawai Bay is a small rocky beach that is going to be one of the more secluded options in the area. Swimming isn't the best due to the currents and rocky ocean floor, but if you want a place to sunbathe and watch the ocean crash into the rock, this fits the bill.

Kaunolū Village was a fishing village until the 1880s, when it was abandoned. It is though the village began in the 1400's and consisted of religious structures. Today you'll find amazing views of sea cliffs, petroglyphs, and the remains of an old temple.

This road is entirely hardpacked dirt. Being such, this route is only recommended when it's dry, otherwise it'll be a pretty miserable experience of battling peanut butter mud. Given that conditions are nice, you can enjoy some amazing views and relaxing solitude on this backcountry road! This official road ends at a hiking trail, but if you have a gravel bike, mtb, or something with wider tires you could forge on.
