Welcome to Pilialoha's Children Activities
Program! In Hawaiian, "pilialoha" means close friendship and beloved
companionship. The Manele Bay Hotel's Children Activities Staff is
dedicated to sharing the spirit of pilialoha with all our visitors,
young and old.
Our highly trained staff is committed to providing top quality care,
safety and enjoyment for children of all ages. The program's philosophy,
based on years of success, continues to create the most memorable
experiences for everyone:
• We believe in a multi-age approach where older children and younger
children can share, interact and have fun together.
• Our group sizes are small, allowing close attention to the children's
needs and interests.
• Our emphasis is always on sharing the special cultural and environmental
gifts that Lana'i has to offer.
Come and join our daily activities.
Each day is a different adventure.
• Explore the exciting tide pools along Hulopo‘e Bay. Use hand-made
bamboo fishing poles to offer the exotic sea creatures a nibble.
• Join us in creative art activities. Draw, sponge paint, and paint
colorful sea creatures.
• Trek through the lush and mysterious Manele Bay gardens in search
of koi fish ponds, creeping crawlers, stone paths and waterfalls.
Experiment with watercolors and clay in this beautiful tropical environment.
• Catch the aloha spirit though traditional Hawaiian games. Collect
fragrant flowers and make an exotic lei.
• Learn how the Hawaiian Islands were formed as you build your own
volcano and island habitat at Hulopo‘e beach.
• Have a tennis lesson with our Peter Burwash International pro or
participate in tennis games.
There's no end to the excitement.
Children can enjoy evening programs on Tuesday and Friday.
