Lānaihale, Mountain summit in Maui County, United States.

Lānaihale is the highest point on Lanai island, rising to about 1,030 meters (3,380 feet) above sea level. From the summit, visitors can look out toward neighboring Hawaiian islands and see across the surrounding landscape.

Lānaʻihale is one of seven shield volcanoes that once formed the single island of Maui Nui, which later split into Maui, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi and Kahoʻolawe. It lies in the southeast of Lānaʻi and rises to 1,030 m, the island's highest point.

The name Lānaʻihale combines Lānaʻi with hale, the Hawaiian word for house, so it reads as the house of Lānaʻi. The slopes hold forests that serve as a retreat for the Hawaiian petrel, called ʻuaʻu in Hawaiian, a seabird that nests in burrows on high ground.

Lānaʻihale lies in the southeast of Lānaʻi and reaches 1,030 m, the island's highest point. The summit is not a separate climb: it is reached on foot along trails across the upland, so plan for sun and wind exposure and carry water. Check conditions before setting out, as cloud can close in on the summit.

Lānaʻihale is one of seven shield volcanoes that once formed the island of Maui Nui, the landmass from which Maui, Molokaʻi, Lānaʻi and Kahoʻolawe later separated. Its forested slopes are an important refuge for the Hawaiian petrel (Pterodroma sandwichensis), known in Hawaiian as ʻUaʻu, a seabird of the shearwater genus.
