Exploring Molokai

In Hawai‘i, there is still one un­dis­cov­er­ed island. One place where you can still feel the rhythms of life the way Hawai­ians used to live it. Yes, it’s Moloka‘i. Ex­citing and exquisite. Inspiring and inviting. Un­expected and unspoiled. Your first hint of what this amazing island is all about is a sign at the airport: “Slow Down, This Is Molo­ka‘i!” it says, and, indeed, the pace here is unlike anything you’ve ever experi­enced. You wander down to Kaunakakai Harbor and watch friendly locals fish for their din­ner. Then you meet one of the isle’s top-notch boat captains and before you know it you’re heading out beyond the reefs, sa­vor­ing the heart-pounding thrills of deep-sea fishing. You stroll the streets of en­chant­ing Maunaloa Town and stop in at the whimsi­cal Kite Factory. Then there’s ranching all over Moloka’i, where you can learn rodeo skills from real cowboys

. Father Damien, one of the is­land’s revered his­torical figures, served the people at Kalau­papa, as well as those on the top side of Moloka‘i, where he built two churches, Our Lady of Sorrows in Kalua‘aha and St. Joseph at Kamalö. It’s like that every­where you go on Molo­ka‘i—you never run out of contrasts or surprises. From three-mile beaches to pristine rain­ for­ests. From the stirring tropic beauty of Hälawa Valley to a 327-acre coffee plan­tation, where you can cool off with a gourmet ice cap­puccino. From the power­ful emotions of his­toric Kalaupapa National Park to the pure es­cap­ism of ka­yak­ing, mountain biking, hiking and snor­keling. Turn around and, like magic, Molo­ka‘i changes again before your eyes. Before you know it, Molo­ka‘i will change you, too. Visit www.molokai-hawaii.com
