Molokai
While the rest of Hawaii grew up, the Island of
Molokai grew roots. Roads are few and generally empty. The island
clings to tradition. Its small population prefers to live by raising
crops, catching fish and adhering to the old ways. Molokai isn't
merely a lovely island, it's the only island for those who what
to experience something besides commercial luau, fancy shops,
big resorts and the company of tourists. Instead, discover serenity,
empty beaches and untamed outdoor beauty. In short, you'll experience
a place where you can look inward as much as outward. You will
also find the Hawaiian culture, which is woven into the fabric
of everyday life. Though Molokai isn't sophisticated when it comes
to tourism, it offers a wide range of places to stay and things
to do.
The first thing you see as you drive out of the
airport is a sign reading 'Aloha! Slow Down. This is Molokai'.
It's best to take that advice to heart and just sit back on the
edge of one of the islander-built 800-year-old fishponds and watch
the sun rise over distant Haleakala on Maui, then stroll along
Hawaii's longest beach with barely another soul in sight. In the
evening, you can watch the sun setting behind rustling palms and
wind down with a little guitar music at the Hotel Molokai's oceanfront
bar. Ah, paradise.
This beautiful island is filled with many atractions and activities
that will keep you busy and entertained during your whole vacation,
such as: Golfing, Tennis, Kayaking, Hiking, Mountain biking, Horseback
riding, dining on local food, Fishing, Exploring archaeological
and Cultural attractions, Snorkeling the 28-mile reef, Riding
down to Kalauapapa and soaking up the utterly gorgeous beaches,
Mule Rides, Wagon Rides, Eco-touring, Bird Watching, Camping,
Running and scuba diving.
