Private charter to & from Lanai

Lanai City is the only town on Lanai, a small island once covered by the world’s largest pineapple plantation. Built in the 1920s as a plantation town, it sits in the cool upland at the center of the island, with a village green of Cook pines surrounded by shops, cafés and plantation cottages. Most of the island is privately owned, and today tourism is almost the entire economy, centered on two luxury resorts: the Four Seasons at Manele Bay on the coast and Sensei Lanai, a wellness retreat near town.

Getting to Lanai usually means a ferry from Maui or a connecting flight on a small commuter airline, so many visitors take a private flight straight into Lanai Airport, a short drive from town and the resorts. That turns a trip from Honolulu into a quick hop across the channel. Once there, visitors snorkel and swim at Hulopoe Bay, play golf, explore red-dirt backroads to remote beaches and lookouts by four-wheel-drive, and enjoy an island with no traffic lights and very few people.
