Lanai is the smallest of the six main Hawaiian islands. If you’re vacationing on Maui, why not hop over to the neighbor island of Lanai for a day? From Maui, Lanai is within easy reach. A 45-minute ferry ride across the Auau Channel gets you there. Even though small, Lanai has some interesting attractions that are definitely worth a visit.

Lanai is home to beautiful and remote white-sand beaches, rugged mountain trails and sea cliffs. Visit a nature preserve or the Garden of the Gods, featuring unique rock formations. Since most of the roads on Lanai are dirt roads, it is best to do a guided tour of the island. Let a local guide do the driving and show you the best and hidden spots while you focus on the views.

Hawaii Discount offers guided Lanai tours, as well as ferry-only tickets to Lanai, ideal for those who just want to spend a day relaxing or snorkeling on Lanai’s south shore. To get an overview of everything there is to do and see in Hawaii, please visit our Hawaii tours page.
