Lanai Cat Sanctuary
Lanai might just be an animal-lover’s paradise. The island hosts a cat sanctuary, a non-profit, focused on providing a home, veterinary care, and outdoor freedom to Lanai’s cat population. Vacationers can visit the Lanai Cat Sanctuary to spend an afternoon with the organization’s 500+ cats and gaze at the endangered birds the shelter also protects. -
Secluded beaches
Quiet, calm, serene. Because Lanai is not heavily populated, it’s full of secluded beaches that will make you feel totally in-tune with the natural surroundings. Check out Polihua Beach on North Lanai, South Lanai’s Manele Bay, which serves as a marine life sanctuary, or Hulopoe Bay where you can swim and snorkel in the large tide pools. -
Must-see sights
To take in some must-see sights in Lanai, head to Kaiolohia (Shipwreck Beach) or Puu Pehe (Sweetheart Rock) to gaze at a rock formation sticking 80 feet out of the water. You can also take in a sunset on Kaumalapu Harbour or hike to Lanaihale, Lanai’s highest point. Finally, mountain bike to the Garden of the Gods to enjoy an unusual rock garden!
