Molokai and Lanai Maui Island Hawaii

The undeveloped islands of Lanai and Molokai lie to the north and west of Maui, just under an hour by fast catamaran from Lahaina Harbour. Although destinations in their own right, both Lanai and Molokai are popular day trips from Maui but to really get to see the sights, an overnight stay is recommended.

Molokai

Lanai Cliffs

The major attraction of Lanai is solitude - remote sandy beaches, hilly golf courses and the breathtaking moon scape scenery of the Valley of the Gods. Lanai also has excellent scuba diving.

Molokai is the place to go to experience a more traditional side of Hawaii with a thriving Polynesian culture and small farming communities.
