Maui’s Neighbor Islands
While traveling around Maui you will notice other Islands in the distance. These are the neighboring islands of Lāna‘i, Moloka‘i, and Kaho‘olawe. Many luxury properties have prominent views of these beautiful locations. Some of these neighbors have unique tourist activities and all of these islands are deeply rooted in Hawaiian history. Learn more about each exotic location below.
Lāna‘i
The smallest inhabited island travelers may visit in Hawaii, Lanai offers big enticements to its visitors. Only nine miles from Maui yet a world away, Lanai can feel like two places. The first is found in luxurious resorts where visitors can indulge in world-class amenities and championship-level golf. The other is found bouncing along the island’s rugged back roads in a 4-wheel-drive vehicle to explore off-the-beaten-path treasures. Lanai has two world-class resorts and the historic Hotel Lanai. The easiest way to travel from the airport or ferry to your hotel is via taxi, or by renting a car. It’s recommended that visitors book cars in advance since supply is limited.

Moloka‘i
Hawaii’s fifth-largest island, Molokai is only 38 miles long and 10 miles across at its widest point. It is home to the highest sea cliffs in the world and to the longest continuous fringing reef. Molokai remains true to its island roots, with a high percentage of its population being of Native Hawaiian ancestry. They continue to preserve their rural lifestyle thanks to their love and devotion to the land. The tourism industry on Molokaʻi is relatively small compared to the other islands in Hawaiʻi. Accommodations are limited; as of 2014, only one hotel was open on the island.
Kaho‘olawe
Kahoʻolawe is the smallest of the eight main volcanic islands in the Hawaiian Islands. Kahoʻolawe is located about seven miles (11 km) southwest of Maui and also southeast of Lānaʻi, and it is 11 mi (18 km) long by 6.0 mi (9.7 km) wide, with a total land area of 44.97 sq mi. Kahoʻolawe has always been sparsely populated due to its lack of fresh water. During World War II and the following decades, Kahoʻolawe was used as a training ground and bombing range by the Armed Forces of the United States. In 1994, The Hawaii State Legislature established the Kahoʻolawe Island Reserve to restore and oversee the island and its surrounding waters. Today Kahoʻolawe can be used only for native Hawaiian cultural, spiritual, and subsistence purposes.
