Lanai, once the largest pineapple plantation in the world, it is
the perfect island for who wish experience remote, virtually undisturbed Hawaii.
Lanai, as part of Maui County, is now a multi-cultural society.
From sunny white sand beaches to rugged pine forests, the island of Lanai
has a primitive charm all of its own. Lanai has a wide variety of plant, marine and
animal life. Many species are rare and endangered including the giant Pacific
Green Sea Turtle (which can grow to 400 pounds) and the Humpback Whale (the
official state marine mammal). Vegetation zones include: coastal, dryland
forest, mixed open forest.
Lanai’s rural beauty and two world-class resorts offer totally
different kind of vacation. Snorkeling and scuba diving is the best anywhere.
Its marvelous four-wheel and hiking trails lead you to Hawaiian temples and
other wonders few people have yet discovered.
Formerly known as the "Pineapple Isle", Lanai was once the largest
single pineapple plantation in the world - now reduced to less than 100 acres.
Today, over 98% of the land on Lanai is owned by the Lanai Company, Inc. (a
development firm). Lanai's major source of annual income is tourism.
Lanai is the sixth largest of the 8 main Hawaiian islands, located in Polynesia near the center of the Pacific Ocean
and is one of the most remote spots on Earth.
Lanai was formed by a single shield volcano creating a volcanic land
mass of rolling tablelands and steep, eroded gorges. Red lava cliffs and
mesquite bushes give way to giant stands of towering Cook pines - and green
mountains at higher elevations.
For comfort, seclusion, style, and grace.......the pristine island of Lanai is the place to visit.
