Considered “Hawaii’s most Hawaiian Island,” a stay on Molokai will provide you with a Hawaii travel experience you will not find on any other Hawaiian Island. The reason is, Molokai has retained Hawaiian life as it was in the very beginning.

While you will not find high-rise hotels, tourist attractions, and many of the commercialized aspects of Hawaii travel on Molokai, you will find plenty of adventure from waterfall hikes, to an abundance of unspoiled natural beauty.

To make the most of your authentic Hawaii travels, enjoy a few nights at the famed Hotel Molokai, where the genuine, friendly service will keep you coming back for more.
