Molokai
has a sampling of lodging and accommodations, but what is on
the least developed of the accessible islands is well worth the trip!
Molokai island's lodging consists of exotic condos, a few venerable hotels,
a luxury resort, hotels so historied as to be a tradition of themselves,
and a smattering of private cottages and Bed and Breakfasts. In all of
these places you will find Old Hawaii and the meaning of the aloha spirit.
Come in, relax, and prepare to be charmed!
Each section
of Molokai has its own personality, its own opportunities, and different
permanent climates and terrain! Moving as little as a mile can mean
entering into a completely different permanent climate! To the east
the land is lush and wet. You can drive from one end of Molokai to the
other on route 46, and watch the land get lusher and greener as you
skirt the tremendous Molokai Forest Reserve.
This online
vacation travel guide to Molokai is unique in that its listings are
all free. We offer the full spectrum of lodgings so travelers will find
larger companies & Mom-and-Pops on the same page.
To the west, the land is drier and is where most visitors to Molokai
visit. Working ranches offer mule rides, tours, and lodgings. This is
where the hula was born, where some of the best coffee in the world is
grown, and where tourists are friends. Walk the dunes at Moomomi, view
the highest sea cliffs in the world, hike the Pepeopae trail, take a mule
ride down the cliffs to Kalaupapa, or take a dawn walk along Paohaku beach.
At over 3 miles long, it is one of the longest in the islands!
Molokai
is home of the famous Kalaupapa Penninsula, a national historic
park! This is where Father Damien devoted his life to the comfort and
healing of a colony of victims of Hansen's Disease (leprosy), eventually
contracting the condition himself. While the disease is now treatable
and the people are gone, the churches, houses, and hospitals built by
Father Damien survive to today. The story of Father Damien is known
through out the world.
| Molokai
is the fifth largest, and least traveled of the available Hawaiian
Islands. It is a place apart, where no building is taller than
a coconut tree, and there are no traffic lights. Hawaiian culture
is alive in Molokai, the hula was born here, and the aloha spirit
of the natives has given a name to the land itself... the 'friendly
isle'. Molokai is truly a land of peace! |

There
is much to see in Molokai. In Molokai, you can whale watch, dive
on the only barrier reef in the Hawaiian islands, sip locally grown
fresh coffee, ride horses at the largest working ranch in the islands,
see the highest seacliffs in the world, and explore a living rainforest.
You can stay in resort luxury for championship golf, or 'go native'
at one of the many cottages and Bed and Breakfasts. All on an island
only 38 miles long and 10 miles wide!
Molokai
is the Hawaii of long ago. She awaits you a world away....
