North Lānaʻi

Only 30 miles of road in Lānaʻi are paved, leaving 400 miles of dirt road to explore by 4-wheel drive, much of which is in North Lānaʻi. Off road to Kaiolohia, also known as Shipwreck Beach, to see a derelict ship stuck in the rocky waters of Lānaʻi’s north shore. Just north of Kānepuʻu Preserve is Keahiakawelo, or the Garden of the Gods, featuring the lunar landscapes incongruous to the sand and surf of Hawaiʻi. Finally continue your bumpy drive to secluded Polihua Beach, where you may find yourself all alone on a 2-mile stretch of sand.
