Lanai (the pineapple island) is the quiet, serene island. It is a good place to do some fishing, hunting, hiking, snorkeling, scuba diving, horse riding, kayaking, or bike riding. The island was mostly owned by James Dole to grow pineapples (at one time it produced 75% of the world's pineapple) but now it is 96% owned by Castle & Cooke and they've developed the island as an exclusive resort destination. There are two luxury resorts on the island, the Lodge at Koele and the Manele Bay Hotel along with two world class golf courses. The Experience at Koele was rated the best golf course by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler and the Challenge at Manele offers a sweeping ocean view at every hole.

The old plantation town of Lanai hasn't changed very much since the 1920's and is surrounded by beautiful giant Norfolk Island pines.

While in Lanai you should visit the Garden of the Gods in Kanepu'u, where rocks and boulders are scattered across a crimson landscape as if some divine being had placed them there as a sculpture garden.

From the tide pools to the mountains, the Hawaiian island of Lanai is one of the most diverse islands. The tide pools offer something for any age to explore and the mountains have everything from 4X4ing or mountain biking to horseback riding.

Lanai also has activities for all to enjoy such as croquet, skeet shooting, all the usual water sports, and more.
