Hawaii Travel: Lanai Vacation Tours
admin
Lanai offers ample opportunity for adventurous travelers who wish to leave the confines of the resort and explore all the island has to offer. Several tour companies offer visitors guided tours of the island that feature several of the famous features of Lanai. On these tours, you can explore the beaches of the island and the inland hills all during the afternoon.
A good starting point for any island tour would be Lanai City. Situated almost perfectly in the middle of the island, it provides easy access to the rest of the island via a network of paved and dirt roads. From here, you can also drive a rental car or Jeeps to explore the island on your own.
The Roads of Lanai
Though much of Lanai can be explored via a compact sedan, many areas of the island can only be accessed using a four-wheel drive vehicle. Furthermore, though some dirt roads may seem drivable in your compact car, the rental company may have restrictions about using their cars on paved roads only. Thus, if off-road adventure is in the cards, make sure you plan ahead and reserve a four-wheel drive vehicle when you book your vacation package.
The now extinct volcano, Palawai, formed Lanai and much of its landscape, which still bears the scars of its violent genesis. The Garden of the Gods provides a striking example of this beginning in its twisted and grotesque landscape of barren earth and rock. Though the garden name may seem misleading, many find beauty in the strange rock formations of the area.
