Aloha, friends

We can't wait to celebrate with the people we love most on Lānaʻi, a quiet island off Maui with red earth, Cook pines and a bay full of spinner dolphins.

Join us for a weekend full of music, color and dancing by the ocean. Everything you need is on this website. We'll keep adding details as the date gets closer!

With love, Ria & Sunder

Getting there

Travel

The last leg is on us

Fly into Honolulu. If you are staying on property, we've worked with the hotel to cover your Lānaʻi Air flight from Honolulu to Lānaʻi. The hotel will help you arrange this leg.

HNL
Honolulu, Oʻahu

Book your own flight here.

LNY
Lānaʻi Airport

About 20 minutes on the Lānaʻi Air charter.

MĀNELE
Four Seasons

A 20-minute drive to the resort. No car needed.

Booking your Lānaʻi Air flight
  1. 1

    Book your room at the Four Seasons by January 30, 2027 and save your confirmation number.

  2. 2

    Fill out the Lānaʻi Air flight request form with your confirmation number, dates and flight into Honolulu. Send it early for the best flight times.

  3. 3

    Lānaʻi Air emails your itinerary and where to meet in Honolulu.

The form asks for each traveler's weight, since the plane is small. Bring a REAL ID or passport. Questions? Lānaʻi Air: (833) 486-8397.

Coming from Maui? Lānaʻi Expeditions runs a passenger ferry from Māʻalaea Harbor to Mānele Harbor, near the resort (about an hour). Book at go-lanai.com. Even if you're staying on property, the ferry isn't arranged by the hotel.
