Visit Lānaʻi

Melanie Waldman, who writes the Travels with Two blog and is one of our Artists in Residence, explored the comforts of finding “home” with her husband Adam on Lānaʻi in May 2011. Her adventures describe the wonderful contrast in the island hotels, from the living environments to eateries and local ecosystems.

Melanie’s posts are filled with photos of her experiences.

Matt Long, who describes himself as “a typical Gen-X professional who has a passion for all things travel,” blogs on his site Landlopers about travels to one of his most favorite places in the world, Lānaʻi. His dreams of visiting the islands came true for a few days. He shared lots of memories of his experiences and photographs. He had been to Lānaʻi previously on his own before joining our social media team. You can see how much he loves this place from all of the articles he continues to post!
