Lanai City & Dole Park
Lānaʻi City
A plantation town founded in the 1920s for pineapple workers. Around Dole Park, shaded by Cook pines, stand colorful wooden houses with small shops and restaurants.
Lānaʻi City sits at about 500 m above sea level. It was built in 1922 by the Dole Company for its plantation workers, and it is the island’s only town. Dole Park, at the center, has a lawn shaded by tall Cook pines. Around it stand colorful wooden houses with tin roofs, housing grocery stores, galleries, cafés and restaurants. The Lanai Hotel, dating from 1923, was once the lodging of the plantation manager. The light pollution is low at night, so you can stargaze in the park. Car rentals, fuel and supplies are all available here, and it is about a 20-minute drive from Manele Harbor.
