Molokai The Friendly Isle All of Molokai is rich with Hawaiian lore. It has miles of secluded white beaches and the highest sea cliffs in the world with waterfalls cascading thousands of feet. Many remnants of early Hawaiian culture can be seen in Kawela and Kaunakakai and in the Halawa Valley. It was here that King Kamehameha the Great, camped for a year, planning his conquest of Oahu. Visit Molokai's towering sea cliffs which rise along the northern shore, its wildlife park of exotic animals, and the settlement on the Kalaupapa Peninsula where Father Damien served sufferers of Hansen's disease (leprosy) until he succumbed to it himself in 1889. "The Friendly Isle" is also known as the birthplace of the hula. There are very few hotels on this island, making it perfect for people who want to escape the crowds. Play golf, snorkel, take the famous mule rides, or just explore this history-rich island.
