Pu'u Pehe Lookout |
 |
|
Take Highway 440 south from Lanai City approximately 13 miles. Follow the signs to the Hulopo'e Beach Park. Take the trail to the left of the beach to reach the overlook.
Pu'u Pehe Rock is located off the southern coast of Lanai to the left of Hulopo'e Beach. The Rock can be seen from many sites along the southern coast but a nearby sea cliff provides the best viewing, especially of the Pu'u Pehe Tomb. The hike to the top of the lookout is a gentle slope and an easy walk. Besides the wonderful view of the Rock, there area terrific views of Manele Bay, Hulopo'e Bay, Manele Bay Resort, Sharks Bay, Sharks Cove, and numerous tidepools. |

Pali Lei no Haunui Lookout |
|
|
Take Highway 440 south from Lanai City. At New Manele Road, turn left and continue down to the Manele Bay Harbor OR turn right and follow New Manele Road past the golf course to the Po'opo'o overlook on the left.
Located on the western side of Manele Bay, these cliffs protect the bay making it a natural marine preserve. This pali or cliff is the perfect protection for the bay and Manele Bay Harbor, guarding them against strong currents, high surf, and violent storms. Seacliffs are created when a portion of the island falls into the ocean leaving a sheer rock wall cliff. The collapse of the lava into the water produces a large wave, even a tsunami, which may travel for hundreds or thousands of miles across the ocean. Seacliffs are only found on older islands as they are a sign that the island is starting to deteriorate, crack, and return to the ocean. New islands, geologically speaking, such a the Big Island of Hawaii, do not have seacliffs. |
