Imagine a place of natural beauty where idyllic island life and adventure activities co-exist.
"Getting away from it all" has become close to impossible in our fast-paced society, but Molokai is one of those rare corners of the world left untouched by skyscrapers, fast food joints, and general commercialization. Dubbed "The Most Hawaiian Island," this 38-mile-long stretch has no freeways and no buildings taller than a palm tree. Life here is simple and serene, and the locals make sure to keep it that way. Created by volcanic eruptions over a million years ago, the island boasts a diverse and breathtaking landscape. Crystal clear waters and a pleasant climate enhance Molokai's natural beauty, and the isolated environment allowed the evolution of plants and animals found nowhere else on Earth.

Uncrowded and thoroughly unspoiled by the bustle of the modern world, Molokai is ideal for nature lovers. White sand beaches, sand dunes, tropical rainforests, and the world's highest sea cliffs all exist side by side. Beach hop along the 88 miles of coastline, experience a recreational paradise with outdoor adventures like mountain biking, hiking, kayaking, horseback excursions and snorkeling, fishing, and all things aquatic, as well as ranch and cultural activities.Although the population is small, still numbering less than 10,000, Molokai is home to the largest number of native Hawaiians. Their legendary hospitality has also earned this island its reputation as "The Friendliest Island!"

Mother Marianne Cope
Memorial 23 January
Died 1918

known as Mother Marianne of Molokai

Soon after Mother Marianne died, Mrs. John F. Bowler wrote in the Honolulu Advertiser, "Seldom has the opportunity come to a woman to devote every hour of 30 years to the mothering of people isolated by law from the rest of the world. She risked her own life in all that time, faced everything with unflinching courage and smiled sweetly through it all."
