Weekend Window: Lanai, Hawaii
Secluded Island Offers Serene Experience
Hawaii is a popular tourist destination and
the state's bigger islands usually get the most
visitors. That's why the state's smallest island
is the perfect getaway for those looking for
more low-keyed relaxation.
Lanai, Hawaii is the state's smallest
island.
(ABC News)
"It's just so different from any other
Hawaiian island. You won't believe it,"
said Kathy Caroll of Mike Caroll Gallery.
"I think people should come to Lanai if
they want to experience complete and utter
solitude. I can't think of a more relaxing place
to be."
The destination spot may have a calmer vibe
than the sometimes-crowded beaches and tourist
destinations on the larger islands of Oahu, Maui
and Hawaii.
"You come to Lanai and you commune with
nature. It's a real experience; it's not
something that's contrived," said Kepa Maly,
of Lana'i Cultural Heritage Center.
Lanai, which also is known as the Island of
Mystery and the Secluded Isle, only has about
2,800 inhabitants, which adds to its feeling of
quietude.
The island's geography offers a view of
different cliffs and rock formations.
"[The] cliffs go [to] 1,000 feet. God
has made all these rock formations," said
Mike Lopez, of Trilogy Excursions. "I
believe each formation represents something
within itself."
Many see Lanai's landscape as a divine
experience.
"One of the most amazing places to see
here is Keahikawelo, otherwise known as the
Garden of the Gods. It looks like a surreal
landscape. It almost feels like you're walking
onto the surface of Mars," Carroll said.
"When you go up onto the slopes, there's
this amazing geology. The wind erosion that's
occurred where the core of lava flows have
remained intact," Maly said. "You get
up on the flatlands, and onto the slopes above
us, and you have this amazing mounding and
piling of stones that some people would think,
that's man-made. But in reality, it's
God-made."
