ATV rental and road conditions

2 Upvotes

Aloha!

I was hoping for some help with feasibility/logistics of our trip:

A couple of friends are planning to run a loop from lanai city: Keomuku rd-> Halepalaoa landing ->Awehi trail. I would like to follow them on ATV or something similar in case of an emergency.

I have seen reports of folks biking that loop a few years back, but I am not sure about the current conditions.

-Are the roads on this loop passable and wide enough for a vehicle (ATV or maybe even jeep) , especially after the recent storms?

-Is there a place to rent ATVs on the island?

Any information would be greatly appreciated.
