About Molokai Condo Rentals

Visiting Molokai, the most undeveloped of the Hawaiian Islands regularly frequented by tourists, is like stepping back in time and visiting the island as seen by King Kamehameha V. Molokai is an untouched homage to a time when Hawaii had no theme resorts or modern monuments to urban technology. Make no mistake, a Molokai vacation can include all the activities found on the other Islands. Sailing, snorkeling, scuba diving, body boarding, surfing, kayaking, horseback riding, golfing, and deep-sea fishing are all available for your enjoyment while on Molokai. But once you arrive, the natural rhythm of the "Friendly Island" takes over and you find yourself enjoying all the island has to offer—albeit at a much slower pace than you may be accustomed to!

A great way to relax is to make your way down to the surf. Papohaku Beach, on West Molokai, is one of the biggest white sand beaches in all of Hawaii. With three miles of gorgeous sand to explore, you may not see another soul during your stay. The beach is great for walking and for watching a Pacific sunset, but be careful in winter as the surf can be quite hazardous. For some tame waves and excellent swimming, head to Murphy's Beach, located on East Molokai. The natural barrier reef gives the beach its own tidal pool and is a perfect spot for a picnic or for a quick dip while driving along the coast. One Ali'i Beach Park, on the south coast, used to be frequented by the ruling class and is another great spot for enjoying a spectacular sunset or just soaking up some rays.

If you only do one adventurous thing on Molokai, make sure you hop a ride on the back of a mule in Kalaupapa National Historic Park along the north shore. The sure-footed burros will carry you around 26 switchbacks down the mountain while you enjoy the incredible views of the Kalaupapa coastline.

If you ever pretended you were a cowboy (or cowgirl) as a child, you have your chance to live out your ranch hand fantasies at the Molokai Ranch. The working cattle and agricultural ranch was established in 1897, is 53,000 acres strong, and encompasses nearly one third of the island. Paniolos (Hawaiian cowboys) will show you how to rope, drive cattle, brand, and do all the activities a working ranch does on a daily basis. Or you can just saddle up on a guided horseback tour of the ranch and enjoy the magnificent scenery of the open plains.


During the summer months, when the waves on the north shore of Molokai relax a bit, you might want to set out from the Kaluakoi Resort in a kayak and wind your way through the seaside valleys and secret coves that hide along the shore. The views of the coastline are breathtaking, and small beaches and tidal pools are your reward for a day's paddling.

Deep-sea fishing charters out of the Kaunakakai Harbor on the southern coast are also a popular pastime on Molokai. The knowledgeable captains will steer you to some of the best marlin, mahi mahi, ahi, and ono fishing in the entire islands. And if you want to remain on land, the Molokai shoreline is full of great spots to surf fish for ulua, ama ama, and limu.

Molokai is not for everyone. Modern conveniences like air conditioning aren't considered a top priority on the island. If you want to be pampered in a lavish, over exposed atmosphere, you may want to look elsewhere. But if you want peace and quiet and an opportunity to enjoy the majesty of the natural world in a pristine setting that time has seemingly forgotten, Molokai is just the place!
