I am leading a Habitat for Humanity group here in December and can’t wait to explore this island. It sounds beautiful!

Why I want to go to this place
When I fly to Hawai’i, it’s always to Oahu. I need to get out of this rut and fly to other islands.

The last time I went to this place
Moloka`i is an oasis in a state which is quickly becoming an over-hyped tourist trap.
Where Waikiki is high rises and traffic congestion, Molokai is slow paces and beauitful, untouched places. Where Maui is crime and not walking alone at night, Molokai is care-free hitch-hiking, mule rides and what might well be the world’s best coffee.
Visitors be warned, though.
Moloka`i is vehemently opposed to becoming like these other islands. You are cordially invited to visit, but if you talk about buying, you’ll get cold shoulders and evil eyes.
Be gentle with The Most Hawaiian island. Responsible tourism, please.

Worth visiting!
Would love to return someday
Went there the summer of my high school senior year with my sister and parents for 2 weeks vacation. It’s total Heaven on Earth.

Introduction to Molokai
November 20, 2006
Born of volcanic eruptions 1.5 million years ago, Molokai remains a time capsule on the dawn of the 21st century. It has no deluxe resorts, no stoplights, and no buildings taller than a coconut tree. Molokai is the least developed, most "Hawaiian" of all the islands, making it especially attractive to adventure travelers and peace seekers. Molokai lives up to its reputation as the most Hawaiian place chiefly through its lineage: More people here are of Hawaiian blood than anywhere else. This slipper-shaped island was the cradle of Hawaiian dance (the hula was born here) and the ancient science of aquaculture. An aura of ancient mysticism clings to the land here, and the old ways still govern life. The residents survive by taking fish from the sea and hunting wild pigs and axis deer on the range. Some folks still catch fish for dinner by throwing nets and trolling the reef.
