Polihua Beach is the most amazing and beautiful wilderness beach I have seen in the entire state of…read moreHawaii, and it is the longest one specifically on the Island of Lana'i (stretching for 1-1/2 miles). I've seen images and videos of the beach in the past, but it is such a different and amazing experience when you get to see it in-person. The only way to get here is via a very rough, bumpy and long trail from Lana'i City - Central on a 4x4 vehicle like a Jeep, and it really does help to have prior 4x4 driving experience. Allow about 1 hour in each direction, and you will come across a lot of rocky and somewhat steeper stretches, so that's where you want to utilize the 4x4 drive mode. When you get to the beach itself, don't drive onto the white sand as you are most likely going to get stuck. As for the beach, so wide and secluded, you may be the only person or group there. It's not good for swimming or snorkeling at all as the currents and waves can be very rough, but it is good for sunbathing, photography or doing beach strolls from one end to the other. Very spectacular views of Molokai and Maui in the distance! So worth the effort if you are able to make it to Polihua Beach on the north coast of Lana'i.

If you ever thought about visiting the Kalaupapa Colony - which is now a part of the Kaulapapa…read moreNational Historical Park Service, one must make reservations, and you can get down there via a mule, or airplane. See this link for information about visiting this Historical Colony/Park - https://www.nps.gov/kala/index.htm My coworker told me about this place called - "Kalaupapa Overlook", as it was the next best thing to see, if you can't actually make it down to the Kalaupapa Colony. A short drive from Kaunakakai...........I would say it about a 7 to 8 mile drive from Kaunakakai town. As you get to the lookout, there is a paved parking lot where you can park your car for free. Upon exiting your rental car, please look for a sign in the parking lot that will direct you to see either the Phallic Rock, or the Kalaupapa Overlook. The very short hike down to the Kalaupapa Overlook is along a paved pathway, so walking down to the lookout is very safe, and easy to do. From the parking lot, to the Kalaupapa lookout area is probably a 1 to 2 minute walk..........an easy walk, not strenuous at all. When you get to the Kalaupapa Overlook, you will be treated to a breathtaking view of the Kalaupapa Colony! By the lookout area, you will see some signs (bummers that the signs were pretty worn tho) that will explain a little history about the Kalaupapa Colony. Worth the trip to get out here to see it! So beautifu!!!

The whole island is full of breath-taking views and picturesque moments, but the trail to Kalaupapa will show you mauka to makai (mountain to ocean). Kalaupapa itself is an incredibly sacred place. You can feel the land when you arrive. The history itself is long and there are only a handful of its original occupants still living here so stop by and say hello! Residents and park workers (who maintain the history) are all friendly! Small souvenir shop, goods shop, but mostly everything you need should be brought with you. Accomodities are scarce but thats the appeal, to spend time in mostly untouched lands and waters. The stars shine bright as the skies are free from city lights and the water is crystal clear, saw monk seals on the shore sleeping. Its also quiet so the group you go with should be a good one -- Lifelong friendships could be formed out there. The church is beautiful and the pier is fun to jump off of. Again, its very humbling to come here and immerse yourself. Its a break from the civilization of the other outer islands. I had a wonderful time here and the memories made there are precious and worth more than most things. Spent 10 days here on a mission trip so I got a chance to know all the locals, play volleyball in their main park area, and attend church in the chapel. Book a trip down there if you can!

Perfectly located on the way out to the west end or as you're coming back to town. It's a must stop!

It's a 5-acre community park on Department of Hawaiian Home Lands property and managed by the Kalama'ula Homesteaders Association since 2010. Existing facilities include a 700-square-foot pavilion, restrooms and showers, barbecue grills and a parking lot. There is water, electricity and phone service. There's a small beach, though the muddy water does not entice you to swim unless you're a keiki and then you'll swim anywhere they let ya. But it's a nice spot for a barbeque or picnic and to view the coconut grove and watch the sunset. It's a locals' park used by large groups for family reunions, graduations, birthday parties and other events such as *the weekend*. It's the Hawaiian version of Orange County's Chicano Parks (lol). Watch out when those big Samoans get loose though - your haole butt better be on the best behavior in these parts, bro. Don' bodda da bros, wouldn't wan'em to karang yo' alahs. This *IS* Hawaiian Home Lands and God bless 'em. An environmental impact study is in progress for a new picnic pavilion. Planned to be a 4,000-square-foot pavilion which is 40 feet wide, 100 feet long and 20 feet tall. (The draft document is online at oeqc.doh.hawaii.gov/Shared%20Documents/Environmental_Notice/current_issue.pdf.) If approved, the new pavilion will be located 133 feet from the shoreline to protect it from storm surges, and it will have two restrooms, a certified kitchen, an office, and a new septic system. Parking and grading/drainage improvements are included. Mahalos yeah fo' checkin' out dis place.
