AboutMalia Expertise Aloha,
I can answer I would say about 99 % of all questions relating to Hawai`i.
Experience I work for tour agencies as a tour guide so have a wonderful island experience especially from the view of travelers and newcomers to the islands. I am also a high school language teacher.
Question How do I get from the Big island to Lanai?
Answer Aloha,
You have 2 possibilities:
1) You can fly from the Big Island to Maui and then take a ferry to Lanai.
There are many flights every day from Hilo and Kona to Kapalua and Kahalui.
The 2 main airlines are Hawaiian Airlines and Go! Airlines.
2) You can fly from the Big Island to Maui and then from there with a smaller aircraft to Lanai. There might also be flights from the Big Island directly to Lanai. All flights on Lanai will land in Lanai City and the aircrafts that fly there are operated by Island Air.
Hope this helps.
All flights are between 30-45 minutes maximum.
