Individual hut on a pristine Lanai beach? Yes please!
Anyone care to venture what he'll charge per night?

If I was a billionaire I'd drop $300MM for a Hawaiian island without batting an eyelash :D

  • Location: The value of a forum such as this one is not in that one can post a question and receive an answer, but in that the question has most likely been asked before, and the answer is available to him that will but only use the search function.
  • Programs: 1. Search on google. 2. Search in the right board of DDF with a general word or two. 3. Read the wiki. 4. Read the thread. 5. Ask away.

Molokai over kalalau trail? I hear the water falls and rivers are even more amazing in the winter albeit harder to cross.

How'd you almost pull that off. I thought if you make it on there based on Kauai Revealed some gargatuan sized local Kindly asks you to leave.

Just booked flights to Lanai - I'll be flying over for one day during my Maui trip in August.

Has anyone here been and has some ideas or suggestions? So far I've booked a jeep by Adventure Lanai - they'll meet be at the airport with a fully stocked Wrangler - ice chest, beach chairs, maps, etc. I would want to do the Munro Trail, but there have been some reports that it's been permanently closed to motorized vehicles. I also plan on going to the Garden of the Gods and Shipwreck Beach, maybe Sweetheart Rock.

Anyone have some other off-road trails or beaches to recommend? Hulopoe Beach is supposedly not safe for swimming in the summer.

I have found paradise and it is Lanai.

Kauai, the Big Island, and Hana could all take back seat.

Trip report coming soon...
