The island of Molokai

The island of Molokai is known as the mysterious island.

Molokai is the least developed of all of the islands. This is the ideal place to relax and the best opportunity to have an genuine Hawaiian experience. Getting around on the island of Molokai can be hard due to lack of modernisation. If you rent a car, it should be one with four-wheel drive. Or maybe you could rent a mountain bike; this would permit you to get to some remote locations not available to you by automobile.

There are two ways to get to the island. You can travel to Molokai Island by boat or by plane. The airport is small and you must fly in from a larger island such as Oahu or Maui. The island is most easily reachable by boat. If you can not stay for a long time, you could take a day trip from Maui. You will not be disappointed.

The most popular beach is known as twenty mile beach. It has a barrier reef, which makes for an outstanding snorkelling opportunity. The beach is situated near the 20-mile marker of the main highway.

Molokai has two golf courses. The Ironwood Hills Golf Club was originally constructed by Del Monte for its employees. The golf club is a very casual fun environment. The Kaluakoi Golf Course is situated in a resort condominium community.

There are two ranches on Molokai. They make for a great horseback riding experience. The ranches offer up guided trail tours through the valley. Another favorite activity of the island of Molokai is mule riding. You will be able to ride mules through the valley and trails. The tours are available through a company called Molokai Mule Rides.
