Although crowds are rarely a problem on Lanai, Shipwreck Beach sees relatively few visitors and is a fine choice for a romantic beachside stroll while viewing one of Hawaii's most unusual coastal sights: a shipwreck.  

Kalokahi Oka Malamalama Church, in front of the Four Seasons Lodge at Koele, is an elegant example of the island architecture found with many small churches in Hawaii.  

Small boutique shops such as Dis N' Dat on tranquil Lanai embody the free-spirited nature of Hawaii while offering unique, island-made jewelry, crafts, and art.  

Centuries before couples began visiting to experience the romance of the islands, ancient Hawaiians left evidence of their culture. The Luahiwa Petroglyphs, among the finest and best-preserved in Hawaii, contain hundreds of rock drawings on numerous boulders across a remote hillside.  

Cook Island Pines, planted 100 years ago, define much of Lanai's skyline, creating shady ridges and parks like this one in Lanai City, where a couple can escape together from the blazing Hawaiian sun.  

Whale-watching tours during the winter season offer excellent chances to spot marine mammals and explore the coastline while enjoying a trip across warm Pacific waters.  

With no traffic lights in Lanai City, signposts are all you need to find your way around town. Restaurants, cafes, and shops offer numerous options for spending a few hours wandering and browsing together.  

The eerily beautiful rock formations at Garden of the Gods are best visited in early morning or late evening when the warm, low light illuminates the landscape and reveals a rich spectrum of saturated colors. Enjoy the solitude and views of Molokai and Maui while strolling through this vast rock garden.  

Hotel Lanai, built in 1923, was once exclusively for visiting Dole executives. Today, it offers couples a step back into a gracious era of plantation life, complete with handmade Hawaiian quilts and softly whirring ceiling fans.  

Nothing captures the carefree ambience and romance of the Hawaiian Islands like coconut palms whispering in the gentle trade winds beneath a blue Lanai sky.
