Welcome to the Island of Molokai
The islands of Maui, Molokai and Lanai make up Maui County.
Of the three islands that make up Maui County, Molokai stands out as having the closest link to old Hawaii. In many ways, landing on Molokai today is similar to arriving on Maui 25 or 30 years ago. The sleepy town of Kaunakakai, the uncrowded roadways, the country homes, the fishermen casting their nets, the pidgin English, the roadside churches of an era past, the community baseball games and canoe races, the small-town feeling where everyone knows everyone else - all contribute to a heartwarming, if not nostalgic, experience. For many years the "Molokai Ferry" has been our connection to the "Friendly Isle" of Molokai.
Rent a car on Molokai. You can spend the day exploring at your own pace, visiting beautiful beaches, rainforests, picturesque shoreline, and historical sites. You might want to pick up a picnic lunch in town and enjoy it at a shoreline park or overlook. The day is yours and you can do whatever strikes your fancy.
Take a guided tour of Molokai. You'll be guided around the island of Molokai by a local who has probably spent a lifetime on Molokai. The things you will learn, the places you'll see, and the hospitality and local color provided by the driver make this a great choice for anyone who really wants to get acquainted with Molokai. This is the quickest way to understand the essence of Molokai, also known as the "Friendly Isle".
Would you like to stay a few days on Molokai? We can arrange your passage over by air or ferry and make hotel accommodations for you.
- Tour Kalaupapa Peninsula, the site of Father Damien's leper colony. On the northern coastline of Molokai, sheer cliffs descend 2,000 feet to the lovely and isolated peninsula that served as home to Hawaii's leper colony last century. Even though "Hansen's Disease" has been arrested in modern times, this is still the home of the few remaining patients.
- Tours are given Monday-Saturday by Richard Marks, the settlement's sheriff. The narrative is so informative, so touching and so steeped in the dramatic history of the era, we guarantee you will be moved by the experience.
- You can get to the peninsula by airplane, or by the famous Molokai Mule Ride which takes visitors down the hair-raising mule trail to the base of the cliffs. Few adventures in Hawaii are as unusual as this experience at Kalaupapa. I recommend the journey, no matter which way you choose to make it.
- Molokai Sweet Bread is a delicacy that can be found at the bakery in Kaunakakai.

Molokai Tours and Molokai Activities - Molokai is one of the three major islands which make up Maui County and as such we have transportation via ferry or air that connects Maui to Molokai on a daily basis. Molokai really is a different world, its like a sleepy hamlet compared to the bustle on Maui. Upon a return of even one day on Molokai I am always shocked, in the sense of waking up from a daydream when I arrive back on Maui. Tne of the best ways to see Molokai is to take the ferry over and then hook up with a tour driven by a Molokai native that escorts you to the major points of interest. If you’d like to tour on your own you can also take a ferry over and we can arrange for your rent-a-car. One of the most exciting and rewarding tours you can take to Molokai however are the tours that we have that go over to Father Damien’s Leper Colony on Kalaupapa. This of course was the famous leper colony that was established on the isolated Kalaupapa Peninsula on the remote and beautiful North Shore of the island in the mid eighteen hundreds. Once this was home to hundreds of leperacy patients and their story was one of heartbreak, compassion, dedication and exceptional love and beauty. The peninsula is just as isolated today as it was in those times and you must come in by small plane or come down the sheer 2000’ cliffs on the back of a mule. Both ways are exciting, and I would recommend either, although if you chose the mule ride option you would have to be spending the night before on the island as it leave too early for us to get you there with arrival on the same day. Once at Kalaupapa you will be taken on a 4 hour tour of the entire peninsula and you will come away with an understanding of life during those times. If you have the time and interest, I would highly recommend the journey.
