The green sea cliffs on the coast of Molokai

Molokaʻi

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. Molokaʻi 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 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! Check out the regions of Molokaʻi for yourself.

Hear a Hawaiian Chant

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