Terbaca dalam satu info dari sumber online bahawa ada sebuah pulau di Kepulauan Hawaii merupakan pulau milik pensendirian.

A privately owned island with an estimated 170 residents, Niihau, aka Niʻihau, is commonly referred to as Hawaii’s “Forbidden Island.” This invite-only destination tantalizes travelers from across the globe due to its extreme exclusivity.

Can tourist stay on Niihau Island?

While there are multiple tours leaving from Kauai that offer to fly between Hawaiian islands, Niihau is not one that can be landed on. Staying on Niihau Island is not an option for the general public. The island is privately owned by the Robinson family, who purchased it in 1864. They have maintained strict control over access to ensure the preservation of its natural environment and the traditional lifestyle of its residents. The only people allowed to stay on Niihau are the island’s native Hawaiian inhabitants, the Robinson family, and invited guests.

The bulk of Niihau is restricted to its 70 full-time residents and their families or to those who received a coveted invitation from the family who has owned the 69-square-mile island since 1864. There are no paved roads, hospitals, police stations, grocery stores, or indoor plumbing. Residents rely on rainwater catching systems for water and a handful of solar panels for electricity, procuring their meals from the land by hunting, fishing, or farming. This unspoiled ecosystem is a haven for many of the state’s endangered or vulnerable species, while the island’s residents contribute to preserving the Hawaiian language and culture with their dedication to living the lifestyle of their ancestors.
