Part 5 – Where is Lāna‘i City and what is there to do?
Lāna‘i City is located in the middle of the island at an up-country elevation of 1,500’+. It is the home for the majority of the island’s 3,200 residents and is very compact and walkable. Some people have “seen it all” in an hour while others can “spend the day” ….. depends on each individuals’ taste & preferences.

Weather can be “variable”. It also can be cooler upcountry on Lāna‘i than expected so everything from sunscreen to layers, an umbrella or light weight jacket are always a good idea.
