Moloka’i
Immersion 2021
My trip to the Hawaiian Islands was multifaceted. I wanted to experience the places I love, especially after being sequestered at home for so long. I wanted to visit the islands Moloka’i and Lana’i because I had never been there before. I had a planned Malama. I wanted to talk to locals on each of the islands, visit the hotel properties, visit with a few tour operators, and take pictures: lots of pictures.
“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 led 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! Check out the regions of Molokai for yourself.” -Go Hawaii
