Tours
Tours on Molokaʻi mirror the island's personality. Don't expect little buses to take you
around with canned commentary and a stop for souvenirs. Rather, local tours concentrate
on experiences you wouldn't be able to enjoy on your own, such as a trek up the Halawa
Valley, Kalaupapa or the guided tours of the Nature Conservancy's Kamakou Preserve
and Moʻomomi Beach.
The two main activity operators offer vari-ous tours, including custom drives to pretty
much any place on the island.
Much of Molokaʻi's coastline is only accessible by boat. The wild beauty of the im-
penetrable Pali Coast, home to the world's tallest sea cliffs, is unforgettable. The activity
operators and boat charters all arrange trips that take the better part of a day, often includ-
ing a stop for snorkeling, and don't run in the winter, lest storms send you to Gilligan's
Island.
Boat charters generally leave from Kaunakakai Wharf and, if you're traveling in a
group, can be tailored to your desires. Rates start at about $100 per hour for whole-boat
charters, with a four-hour minimum. Try one of these personable outfits:
