Lanai

 The Hawaiian islands

 

Lana'i is one of the islands that makes up the state of Hawaii, in the Pacific Ocean and is the smallest inhabited island in this Pacific chain. Lana'i is located about 9 miles west of Maui.  Formally known as the “Pineapple Island”, it’s now the place where Hawaiians go to get away from it all.

With very few full time residents Lana'i is a quiet place to visit, but has much to offer:

 

Activities

Popular activities include: skeet shooting, horseback riding, whale watching, world class spas, and great golf
