Lanai is the smallest island in the state that's
open to visitors, just 29 km long. Once a plantation island used
almost exclusively to grow pineapples, Lanai is still almost
completely owned by Castle & Cooke, the parent company of Dole
Pineapple. The main town, Lanai City, in the center of the
island, doesn't have many attractions as such, but visitors love
the colorful houses and the towering Norfolk Island pines that
line the street. The Garden of the Gods is well worth seeing:
It's a multicolored, barren volcanic area that looks a bit like
Arizona's Painted Desert in miniature.
