Hawaii’s fifth largest island, Molokai is only 38 miles long and 10 miles across at its widest point and is home to the highest sea cliffs in the world and the longest continuous fringing reef. Molokai remains true to its island roots, with a high percentage of its population being of Native Hawaiian ancestry who continue to preserve their rural lifestyle thanks to their love of the land. Whether you’re led by a guide along the cliffs leading to Kalaupapa National Historical Park or discovering Papohaku Beach, one of Hawaii’s largest white-sand beaches, Molokai is truly an island of outdoor adventure where Hawaii’s past comes alive! Check out the regions of Molokai for yourself.
Some of the most spectacular landscapes in Hawaii can be found in the ancient Halawa Valley on Molokai’s East End. This lush cathedral valley can only be explored on a guided hike, which will lead you to sacred heiau (temples), breathtaking vistas and cascading waterfalls, like the 250-foot Mooula Falls.
It's hard to say which is more spectacular—the ride down to Kalaupapa or the ride back up. But whichever you choose, know that your view of Molokai will be forever changed by the journey.
Kumimi Beach (also known as 20 Mile Marker Beach) is one of the island’s most popular snorkeling spots. Join the colorful reef fish, honu (Hawaiian green sea turtles) and friendly manta rays in the waters of Molokai.
Cast off from Kaunakakai pier, the longest wharf in Hawaii for a fishing adventure. Experienced fishermen will love the thrills of deep-sea, big-game fishing in Molokai’s fertile waters, but first-timers will also be in for some fun as Molokai boat captains will help you with everything. There is excellent sport fish to be had in Molokai, including marlin, mahimahi, ahi (tuna), and ono.
