YouTube Video Description

Travel with Lainey and her family in paradise on the incredible exclusive Hawaiian Island of Lana’i at the Four Seasons Resorts Lanai and Sensei Lāna'i, A Four Seasons Resort, with complete site and grounds tours of both properties in January 2025. Meet the General Manager David Emig and local artist Mike Carroll at Mike Carroll Gallery and see all the shops and restaurants in Lanai City. Visit iconic sites like Garden of the Gods Park, Polihua Beach, Lanai Cat Sanctuary, Hulopoe Beach Lanai, Shipwreck Beach, and two fun dinners with fabulous live music by TJ Favella at Lana’i City Bar & Grill inside Hotel Lana’i. Winter ocean currents are strong, and we should not have snorkeled off the beach with warning flags but we did. Get caught with us in the rip tide. Go on our off roading jeep adventures to look for humpback whales and green sea turtles and find all the fun activities on the island like Lanai Ranch Experience, Lanai Adventure Park and Lanai Shooting Clays. Dine with us at every possible restaurant, The Break, Nobu Lanai, Osteria Mozza, Malibu Farm, Views at Manele Golf, Blue Ginger and Lanai City Service Station Deli. Shop for necessities at Richard’s Market. Join Trilogy Excursions for their Discover Lanai tour from Maui. Enjoy the beautiful landscape and sculptures, hale and onsen, pools and beaches. See everything you can do on Lana’i. Thank you to all my talented co-stars and my generous hosts. Fly with us on our non stop flight from Austin-Bergstrom International Airport to Honolulu Airport on Hawaiian Airlines plus after this 9 hour flight join us on a short hop on Mokulele Airlines to Lanai. Flying Mokulele Airlines and Hawaiian Air back home from Lana’i so I can celebrate 25 years with my baby girl 3, Skylar. Follow Lainey Melnick & Associates - Dream Vacations and talk to my team led by Alex Horne to book your next land or sea dream vacation. https://campsite.bio/855gr8trip #lanai #hawaii #fourseasons #sensei #hawaiianislands #luxurytravel #foodietravel
