Munro
Trail, Lanai
12.8 mile hiking, driving and biking trail with scenic views.
It begins just north
of Lanai City and ends in the Palawai Basin.
It was named for George Munro, the naturalist from New
Zealand who arrived in 1890.
The trail offers spectacular views and the 1,600-foot
elevation takes you through a rain forest filled with ohia lehua, ironwood,
eucalyptus and pine trees. You'll discover stunning canyon views of Maunalei
gulch as well as neighboring islands of Maui, Molokai,
Kahoolawe, Hawaii's Big Island and Oahualong the way. The trail,
which can also be biked or hiked, also takes you to the top of Lanaihale (House
of Lanai), Lanai's highest peak at 3,370 feet.
The Munro Trail can only be driven in a rented 4-wheel drive vehicle. Note that conditions can be tricky in some spots especially after rain. Bring a full tank of gas, water, food and a jacket and check ahead for dry weather conditions. The trek takes about two hours by car, so drive safely and enjoy the ride.
