Want some wow! Give your group this exclusive neighbor island experience! Sail away to the private island of Lanai, snorkel in a pristine marine preserve, tour the island, enjoy a delicious breakfast and lunch, have a cocktail or two, see some whales or dolphins and be back to your Wailea hotel in time for dinner. Now that's an incentive day!

Lana’i is home to the gorgeous Hulopo’e Bay, a protected Marine Preserve voted #1 beach in America by Dr. Beach. The Bay offers our guests unparalleled (and uncrowded!) crystal clear views of sprawling coral reefs and a wide array of tropical fish, active marine life and on many days, even dolphins. Guests can also play volleyball, hike or enjoy a historic island tour.
