Welcome to Molokaʻi
Hawaiʻi’s fifth largest island, Molokaʻi is only 38 miles long and 10 miles across at its widest point and is home to the highest sea cliffs in the world and the longest continuous fringing reef.

Whether you’re led by a guide along the cliffs leading to Kalaupapa National Historical Park or discovering Pāpōhaku Beach, one of Hawaiʻi’s largest white-sand beaches, Molokaʻi is truly an island of outdoor adventure where Hawaiʻi’s past comes alive!
