A Bit of Island Hopping in Hawaii

Above the entrances of many stores and businesses throughout Hawaii, you are likely to see the phrase "E komo mai" which means "welcome" in Hawaiian. It is this sort of warm hospitality that permeates throughout the Hawaiian islands and people. A trip to the Hawaiian islands evokes a sense of pure serenity that is difficult to define unless you've been here.

Your itinerary is all about restful and restorative relaxation. You'll begin your time on the private island of Lana'i where rugged and active excursions await. Your next stop will bring you to the Big Island where the tranquil Four Seasons Resort Hualalai invites you to dig your feet in the sand and let the Pacific sun warm your skin. You'll find that there's no better way to end your trip to Hawaii than with sunsets over the unending Pacific along the beaches at Hualalai.

Arrive on your scheduled flight in Oahu (HNL). During your layover, feel free to make a stop at the Four Seasons Lana'i Guest Lounge near gates D1 and D2 in Terminal 2. Here, you may grab refreshments and check into your room so you won't have to once you arrive to the property.

Depart on your scheduled flight from Oahu (HNL) to Lana'i (LNY). Upon arrival, meet your Four Seasons representative at baggage claim and be transferred to the property of Four Seasons Lana'i.

Despite being the smallest of Hawaii's publicly-accessible and inhabited islands, Lana'i's topographical diversity makes it a haven of adventure and the ultimate relaxation. In the north of the island is a rugged, Martian-like landscape with secret beaches, perfect for an exhilarating ATV ride. The center of Lana'i is where you'll find the town of Lana'i City along with the high hills offering sweeping vistas of the island as well as great trails among the lush forests ideal for biking and horseback riding. What remains is the absolute paradise down south, where the luxurious Four Seasons Resort Lana'i sits on Hulopoe Bay teeming with beautiful marine life.

The Four Seasons Resort Lana'i sits just moments away from many of the most scenic spots, best reached by foot or 4-by-4, and where the Hawaii found in vintage postcards comes vibrantly to life. You can spend your days lounging by the lagoon-style pools, strolling the botanical gardens, reconnecting body and spirit at Hawanawana Spa, and savoring Japanese cuisine at cliff-side Nobu Lana'i. From the rugged uplands to the aquatic sanctuary of Hulopoe Bay, the opportunities for adventure – and relaxation – are endless.

Spend these days at your leisure to discover all of the hidden gems found around the island of Lana'i. Activities and experiences you may wish to partake in include:

Upon arrival at Kona Airport, meet your Four Seasons representative after baggage claim for transfer to your accommodations. Enjoy the rest of your day at leisure.

The island of Hawaii is the youngest and largest island in the Hawaiian chain. Nearly twice as big as all of the other Hawaiian Islands combined (hence, its nickname, “Big Island”), its sheer size is awe-inspiring. You can travel through all but four of the world's different climate zones here, ranging from Wet Tropical to Polar Tundra, a result of the shielding effect and elevations of the massive volcanoes Maunakea and Maunaloa. From the many geological features at Hawaii Volcanoes National Park to the snow-capped heights of Maunakea; from the lush valleys of the Hilo and Hamakua Coasts to the jet-black sands of Punaluu Beach, the island of Hawaii is an unrivaled expression of the power of nature.

Surrounded by white-sand beaches and black-lava landscapes, Four Seasons Resort Hualalai is perfectly situated for all kinds of island adventures. The spirit of Hawaii, from its long-held traditions to its inspired art, informs every detail of this idyllic retreat.

Experience the highest level of cutting-edge golf technology and refine your skills with a Hualalai Golf Hale Retreat. Your day will begin with a personal assessment, followed by an in-depth analysis of your golf mechanics using data, video, and simulator technologies.

You will then be led through a private, interactive cooking class with a member of the culinary team, who will incorporate the salt into your dishes and further explain the ways it was traditionally used in Hawaiian cooking.
