While babymoonin in Maui, we also wanted to spend sometime on Lanai. We had only been there for a day trip once before, so this time we wanted to spend a couple days and really slow down to the mellow pace of Lanai. This island doesn't get a ton of tourists and while there, we would often go hours without seeing anyone else. This cute, small little island we would call the most romantic of the Hawaiian Islands. With more pine trees than palm trees, it doesn't have the tropical feel the other islands do, but it's still beautiful in it's unique way. Here are the highlights from our stay on Lanai.
Staying at the Hotel Lanai - This is a restored old plantation home that is the cutest place we've ever stayed in.
Hanging out at a remote beach - No footprints or anyone else in sight at this beautiful cove.
Snorkeling at Manele Bay - The best snorkeling we've done in the Hawaiian Islands was here! There are tons of very brightly colored fish and live coral. Because the island is so rarely visited, the sea life is much more vibrant.
