get a unique perspective of the island or play a round of golf at
two world class courses, the Challenge at Manela designed by Jack
Nicklaus and the Experience at Koele designed by Greg Norman and Ted
Robinson. Both courses consistently rank amongst the finest in the
world of golf.

When Is The Best Time On
Lanai?
Like all of the
Hawaii islands, Lanai is a year round destination. Temperatures
range between 70º in winter to 85º F in summer. Lanai City is
cooler than the beaches due to its elevation. The weather is
relatively dry for a Hawaiian island, receiving only about 37 inches
of rainfall per year.
If you are staying
in the town of Lanai City it would be advisable to bring a sweater
or jacket since the temperature is cooler there than on the beaches. For detailed
weather forecasts visit the Hawaiian Islands
National
Weather Service Forecast website.
Getting To
Lanai & Getting Around?
Lanai Airport is three miles from Lanai City in the island's
central region. There are limited airport shuttle services.
With no public transportation available, it is best to
rent a vehicle to get around
the island. Since there is only 30 miles of paved road on Lania, and
no traffic lights, renting a 4 wheel drive is well worth considering
to see all the island has to offer.
