Lanai is a small, Central Pacific island just beneath the Tropic of Cancer. It encompasses only 141 square miles and is 13 miles wide by 18 miles long. The island includes coastal areas, dryland forest, and mixed forest foliage among its volcanic landmass, with impressive gorges and red lava cliffs. There are green mountains, many orchards, and mostly red dirt roads rarely interrupted by pavement.
Lanai is a fairly arid island with a trade wind-moderated temperature ranging between 78°F-85°F in summer and 72°F-76°F in winter. Evenings are cooler, as are the higher elevations. For example, Lanai city tends to be approximately 10°F cooler than the beach areas. Ocean temperature ranges between the mid-70°Fs and low 80°Fs, depending on the season. The standard daily forecast calls for copious sunshine.
