With so little development, Molokai has more in common with Kauai and Lanai than the Big Island, Maui or Oahu. The island’s biggest town, Kaunakakai, has a small downtown district with shops and restaurants, but it hardly qualifies as a resort town.
And that’s why people book Molokai rentals for vacation. They come for the unspoiled coastline, mountains and rainforest. They stop in at the Big Wind Kite Factory, and then test the breeze at Papohaku Beach Park, a massive three-mile stretch of white sand. Then they check out the world’s largest sea cliffs at Kaulapapa, which rise dramatically 3,000 feet above the ocean. You can charter a boat and see them from the shore, or ride a mule or hike along the precipitous trails.
Before leaving, everyone tours the Molokai ranch, where the Wild West meets the island culture. By the time you leave, you’ll wish you had just one acre of land on this beautiful island. Just settle for another Molokai vacation rental next year!
