Well, trueexcept for the fact that Hawaii is actually in the North Pacific Even as the late as the 1950s, few visitors to the islands ventured far beyond the comfortable surroundings of Honolulu and legendary Waikiki Beach on the island of Oahu From museums to nightlife, Honolulu is the cultural crossroads of the Pacific Rim But there is another Hawaii on five neighboring islands, each with its own character and its own, unique aloha spirit Maui, with its miles of exemplary beachfront resorts is the most popular of the outer islands And if you can drag yourself away from the sand (or the sand traps at several superb golf courses), there are few views in the world that can top those from the summit of Haleakala volcano and few drives that can match the spectacular, winding coastal road to Hana Kauai is often called the Garden Isle, but it's the islands beaches and the incredible cliff-lined Napali Coast that visitors usually talk about. And while Kauai, like her sister islands, is best seen from the water (catamaran, surfboard, outrigger canoe for starters), the hiking here is unforgettable. The Big Island (as the locals call it) is Hawaii at its most dramatic, from red-hot lava flowing to the sea at the worlds most active volcano to stunning waterfalls. For those looking for a little less drama, relaxing is no effort at luxury resorts scattered along the Kona-Kohala coast. Once a pineapple plantation in the sea, Lanai is now home to a pair of upscale resorts one in the mountains, one at the sea each with a top-rated championship golf course. Development has mostly bypassed Molokai, and thats much of the islands charm. Riding a mule down the steep switchback trail to Kalapapa is a long-standing tradition, and longtime visitors know this is still an island where some of the best beaches have no footprints for days at a time Oahu Maui Kauai Big Island Lanai Molokai Home • Island Destination Search • Travel Deals • Islands Magazine Weddings & Honeymoons • Desktop Images • Contact Us • Employment Opportunities Please visit our other World Publications websites: Caribbean Travel Planner | Cruising World Discover St. Thomas & St. John | Resorts & Great Hotels | Saveur | Spa | Sportdiver © 2005 World Publications

Once the home of a thriving pineapple plantation, Lanai has reinvented itself as an alluring resort destination offering world-class golf courses and award-winning accommodations . In ancient times, Lanai was thought to be overrun with evil spirits. A young man named Kaululaau, the son of a Maui chief, was exiled to Lanai to explore the island and deem it free of such spirits to make Lanai suitable for settling. A major chapter in Lanais history was penned in 1922, when an enterprising businessman named James Dole purchased the island for $1.1 million. Dole started growing pineapple on his island, and soon canned pineapplea new concept at the timebecame a smash hit on the mainland. In time, tiny Lanai developed into the worlds largest exporter of this succulent fruit. At one point, the island was producing 75 percent of the worlds pineapple. For decades, Lanai was celebrated as Hawaiis flourishing "Pineapple Island." Thousands of acres were dedicated to pineapple, and people came from far and wide to work the fields. In the late 1980s, as the pineapple industry began to wane, Lanai turned to tourism. Two luxury resorts were built: the Lodge at Koele and the Manele Bay Hotel . Also added were a pair of championship golf courses: the Experience at Koele and the Challenge at Manele (designed by Ted Robinson and Jack Nicklaus, respectively). Besides golf, Lanai offers many things to do and see. Go for a swim at picturesque Hulopoe Beach. Snorkel the islands cliff-lined west coast. Explore the Garden of the Gods , an intriguing rock formation reminiscent of a lunar landscape. Hunt for treasures or examine historic petroglyphs at Shipwreck Beach . Admire local artwork at the Lanai Arts & Culture Center, a prominent showcase for community arts. You can even "lock and load" at Lanai Pine Sporting Clays , the only resort sporting clays course in the state.
