Visitor Reviews
Be the first to review Kane'apua Rock.
Kane'apua Rock is located near the Kaunolu Village Site on Lanai's remote south coast. From Lanai City, visitors generally travel west toward Kaumalapau Harbor, then use rough unpaved roads toward Kaunolu. The map point is kept at the current page coordinates for the coastal rock area. Road conditions can be rough and unsafe after rain, so visitors should use a proper vehicle, check current access and avoid the trip in poor conditions.

No. The area is rocky, remote and exposed to ocean hazards, so visitors should treat it as a scenic and cultural stop rather than a swimming area.
Nearby places include Halulu Heiau, Kahekili's Leap and the larger Kaunolu Village Site archaeological landscape.
A four-wheel-drive vehicle is strongly recommended because the route to Kaunolu uses rough, unpaved roads. Wet weather can make the road unsafe or impassable.
