  • Exceptional plate lunches served outside, where there’s a grand ocean view.

  • Sumo-sized portions of popular local foods – teriyaki, katsu, Hawaiian plate.

  • Prawns with walnuts, whole fish, crab in black bean sauce, and lychee sherbet – all delicious.

  • Amazing assortment of pastries and wonderful hot malasadas (Portuguese donuts) early morning and late at night.

  • Hulopo’e Beach

    This palm-fringed, white sand beach is the classic picture of Hawai’i. A shallow pool blasted from the rock for the island’s children provides easy viewing of tidepool life, the waves are usually mellow, and the snorkeling terrific.

  • The centerpiece of any lū’au , or feast, is the whole pig, slowroasted (kālua) in an underground oven – an imu . The meat literally falls from the bones. The same cooking method works equally well with turkey, squash, and sweet potatoes.

  • A complete restoration is underway to rebuild this church, site of the first Protestant mission on Moloka’i.

  • The Native Hawaiian Dryland Forest at Kānepu’u is an area of rare plant life. Some 48 native species can be found here, including local relatives of the olive and persimmon.

  • The waters around this lava rock outcropping at the southern tip of Lāna’i are well known for excellent fishing. The ocean is often rough, though, and not good for swimming.

  • Kapuāiwa Coconut Grove

    A grove planted in the 1860s by King Kamehameha V. As well as providing shade for the king’s sacred bathing pools, each of the 1,000 majestic, royal coconut palms represented a warrior in his mighty army. Only a few hundred of the beautiful palms still stand.
