Nice harbor. The ferry boat from Lahina comes in daily. And the Lanai catamaran for snorkeling and sunset cruises departs as well. Easy access and has shad if you are waiting on the ferry. Nice

We stayed on Lanai and flew in after the fires on Maui, although we were supposed to stay in Lahaina but our hotel was destroyed. This was a very pretty harbor and bay area, but the ferries were not coming in while we were there. We understand they were running, but clearly did not have a reason to run as often as usual. You can come here for some shopping and food if you go to the general store in the harbor, which has a mix of tshirts, food, trinkets, etc. There was one other gentleman at the harbor outside when we were there, so we just sat on the benches and stared out at the ocean for a while.

Arriving by ferry from Lahaina, our first impression of Lanai was formed by the landing at Manele Harbor. It is a compact, neat and tidy place, with spectacularly gorgeous flowers everywhere. The facilities are modern and well kept with everything you need for a landing or departure. The small store has both staples and souvenirs and was fun to browse while we waited for the return ferry. A very good first impression and last glimpse of a low-key, fun, neat and tidy island.

Waiting in the covered pavillion with lots of seating sure beats standing in the sun on the Lahaina dock. There are restrooms and a general store but unfortunately it was closed due to the virus.

Love this harbor! The best way to reach Lanai is by ferry IMHO. The trip is short and beautiful, and the price is right.

Our port of entry into Lanai'i. Manele General Store, Shuttle Service and Ferry Staff made our one day visit complete. Helpful suggestions, directions and service allowed us to visit the Cat Sanctuary, home of 593 cats successful. Thanks to all.

This is a cute small harbor. There's a general store that carries a small amount of items. Good sea wall to keep down the waves. The only bad spot is visibility of the ocean, hills are around a narrow opening to the sea.

This was our destination when we took a snorkeling tour. Unbelievably beautiful! You could see clearly straight down to the bottom. Brain coral, all manner of fish (including the beautiful Humuhumunukunukuapua'a) and calm waters.
Dolphins sometimes come here to hunt for fish but that day we only saw them on our way back home to Maui.
If you have the chance, do yourself a favor and come snorkel/scuba dive here!

Came here on a snorkel charter with Seamaui. First of all, being snorkeling veterans, it's a long way to come for a snorkel. The clarity is fair, but the depth of the reef is so deep, that even though there is a good fish count it is hard to encounter. Besides, the best area to see fish is towards the breakwall, the surge gets really dangerous.

Hi, coldrosbeatrice. What would you like to know about this attraction?
Hi we're visiting the island this year and wanted to know what's to do on Manele Harbor Island? Also, how did you get around Manele? Any suggestion is greatly appreciated.
Written February 13, 2019
Hi
Did to bring your own snorkel gear or go on a tour? Were to in the water right next to the harbor?
Do you have any more tips?
Thanks,

Hi , If we take the ferry to Lania, will we be able to find transportation take us into town and to the cat sactuary. Can we picnic at the beach beside the harbour?
Written November 29, 2017
Yes you can hire a local transportation. Make sure you catch a ride when the ferry arrives as the transportation business usually is at the harbor when the ferry arrives and departs. My wife and I used the service to and from the cat sanctuary. You usually pay each way. Have fun.
