Book your Molokai holiday
Molokai Island Holiday Packages
Molokai Island is a secret gem that is like the middle sibling of the Hawaiian Islands, letting the other members of the archipelago hog all the glory. This little island is stunningly beautiful and loaded with gorgeous beaches, dazzling waterfalls and endless rainforests. In addition, there are very few cars and no neon or traffic lights. Intrigued yet? This is the spot where you can experience Hawaii as it once was, before throngs of tourists descended upon its shores.
Things to do in Molokai Island
Molokai is the Hawaiian island you head to when you want peace and tranquillity. It’s home to the only barrier reef in Hawaii, so if you’ve been hankering to get in touch with your inner fish, make a splash with aquatic activities like snorkelling and scuba diving. If you prefer to stay dry, one of the most popular activities during a Molokai Island holiday is a mule ride that takes riders down an approximately 4.5 km trail to the Kalaupapa Peninsula. Not up for a ride? You can also hike the trail. At the bottom, you’ll find the town of Kalaupapa, the site of a former leper colony—no, it’s not contagious anymore—and a tour is available if you're curious in learning more.
This island is also home to the wonderful Kamakou Preserve, where you can stroll a nearly 5 km boardwalk and see rare indigenous plants and birds. Note that Molokai has no public transportation system, so you will need to rent a vehicle from Wotif’s Molokai Island car hire if you want to get around easily.
Shopping, Dining & Nightlife
There are no large malls on the island—and the locals like it that way—but you can still shop to your heart's delight. Molokai's one-of-a-kind boutiques can be found in Kaunakakai or Maunaloa. You’ll have plenty of options when it comes to bringing something home for your mates, family, and employer (if you like them). Jewellery, gourmet salts or surfing essentials, all made by local craftspeople, are the perfect souvenir. When it comes to food, you'll find several small restaurants in Kaunakakai serving up the hearty local "grind," including Hawaii's famous plate lunches that are piled high with rice and your choice of meats or vegetables. As for nightlife, it's relaxingly low-key, like Molokai itself. No wild dance halls here, so leave the party pants at home. However, there are a few places in Kaunakakai where you can listen to music and enjoy a round of beers.
