About Palawai Outfitters

Palawai Outfitters is under the management of Castle & Cooke Resorts, LLC. Its name derives from the Palawai Basin, the volcanic crater that formed the Island of Lana'i, hence the location of Palawai Outfitter's bird hunting property that encompasses approximately 36,900 acres. Palawai Basin was known to have held water in the form of a lake that was one of the best sources of drinking water in its time. The old timers, "kupuna", told stories of how Palawai and its adjacent field Miki Basin grew the largest sweet potatoes, such that one potato could feed a family. The basin was fertile and rich in pineapple fields from the early 1920's and finally phased out in the early 90's as the company transitioned from plantation to resorts.

Today, Palawai basin yields majestic fields of grassland and the new home for what our clients are calling one of the best bird hunting programs in the State of Hawaii.
