Kanepuu Preserve at a Glance

Ever fancied walking in a vast garden of rare flowers and native birds? The Kanepuu Preserve gives you just that, and much more. This 590-acre lot is home to one of the world’s most fragile ecosystems, playing host to dozens of native plants and avian fauna. Some of them, such as Hawaiian gardenia, are highly endangered and can be found nowhere else on earth.

Many of the native plants have played a central role in local livelihood for centuries. The aiea, a particularly rare tree, was once used to build canoes and sustained many fishing villages. The lama (derived from the Hawaiian word for light) was used to build sacred fences, temples, and offerings to Laka, the goddess of hula. Other plants worth looking at are the olopua, a native olive tree, and the mau hau hele, a rare local hibiscus.

Among the park’s main highlights is a short loop trail, which features native artwork by Hawaiian artists. The art is both a tribute to the Kanepuu’s beauty and a call to preserve its treasures. A quick walk through the trail is sure to leave a lasting impression even on the most industrialist minds.

The Kanepuu Preserve is roughly a 20-minute drive from Lanai City. You can tour the park by yourself with a self-tour map available at the entrance. There are also guided tours for large groups, offered by the Nature Conservancy of Hawaii. No matter how you get around, the Kanepuu Preserve is definitely a place worth your time!
