Welcome to Molokai

Hawaii’s fifth largest island, Molokai 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. Molokai remains true to its island roots, with a high percentage of its population being of Native Hawaiian ancestry who continue to preserve their rural lifestyle thanks to their love of the land. Whether you’re lead by a guide along the cliffs leading to Kalaupapa National Historical Park or discovering Papohaku Beach, one of Hawaii’s largest white-sand beaches, Molokai is truly an island of outdoor adventure where Hawaii’s past comes alive!

Eo Molokai Nui a Hina E

Hear a Hawaiian Chant

Hear a Hawaiian Chant

Composed by Kamaka Kukona, Eo Molokai is a mele (chant) that introduces the beauties of Molokai. Each location has its historic value, which are the treasures that locals keep dear today. From the land in Kaana, where hula is believed to have originated from to the more recent stories of Kalaupapa, Molokai lives on through all of these connections to place through its people.
