Kaleidoscope Travel & Cruise

Article Published: November 11th, 2004

There is a place where it is still possible to experience the seclusion, peace and unspoiled natural beauty and authentic Hawaiian culture of decades past. It’s called Molokai, often referred to as the most Hawaiian island. Molokai is one of Maui’s sister islands and is just 38 miles long and 10 miles wide but contains some of Hawaii’s most unique sights and adventures. Here you won’t find a single traffic light, a shopping mall or a nightclub. Nor will you find an elevator – there is no need for one, no building on the island is taller than a palm tree. You will find plenty of activities to keep you busy, off road mountain biking, kayaking, horse back riding, hiking, golfing, scuba diving, snorkelling, surfing, sport fishing, or wind surfing. Molokai’s north coast is the setting of some of the most incredible views on earth. Sign up for a cruise and sail along the coastline, taking in the majestic sights of the world’s highest sea cliffs, which tower 3,300 feet above the crashing surf. The best known area of the island is Kalaupapa, where people stricken with leprosy were banished in the late 1800’s. If your idea of a great vacation is unspoiled natural beauty and a quiet lifestyle appeals to you, Molokai is the place for you.
