	Molokai Activities - Things To Do On "The Most Hawaiian Island"
	Visitors have a variety of activities and attractions to choose from when they arrive on Molokai. The following information provides a sample of the places you can visit and the things you can do while you are there. A short list of Kaunakakai area restaurants, markets, and shops is included for your reference near the bottom of the page. You are invited to rent our Molokai 207 oceanfront vacation condo and to make it your 'home' as you discover for yourself what this varied and captivating island has to offer.
	Activities At Molokai Shores Condominiums: Sleep in late. Or, get up early and watch the sun rise from the lanai or from the kayak you have launched from the beach into the predawn calm of this section of southern Molokai's coral reef protected coastal waters. Go snorkeling. Watch the whales breach and spout from December through April. Swim in the pool. Lounge on the beach. Sharpen your golf game at the putting green. Read a book. Play shuffleboard. "Talk story" with residents and visitors. Barbecue fresh fish in the evening on one of the grills while watching the sun set into the Pacific Ocean. Reach up to the sky at night and pull down a handful of stars.
	Activities In Kaunakakai (population 2,745): This is Molokai's main town. It's located about 1.4 miles west of the condo (about a 30 to 35 minute walk). Do your shopping. Check out the visitor’s center. Drive or walk along the mile-long wharf. Arrange to go on a whale watching tour, sailing, deep sea fishing for Ahi, Mahi-mahi, Ono, Ulua, Kawakawa, and Pacific Blue Marlin, kayaking and snorkeling, diving, or on a sunset cruise. Enjoy a ferry ride to Maui in the morning and return in the afternoon. Make arrangements to go rifle or bow hunting for axis deer, wild boar, or spanish goats. Try the seafood catch-of-the-day at Molokai Pizza Cafe' at the turnoff for the wharf or enjoy island fresh breads, pastries, and cookies at Kanemitsu Bakery on Ala Malama Street. Enjoy the sights and sounds of the Saturday Market including a booth that displays the creations of Linda Kanani Johnston, one of the island's prominent artists.
	East Molokai Activities and Attractions: Head east from Kaunakakai on Kamehameha V Highway (Highway 450). Explore a section of the coral reef you’ll be traveling beside – its the only barrier reef north of Australia. Take a ten minute walk or a short drive from our condo to dine at the open-air Oceanside Restaurant located a short distance beyond the Kalokoeli Fishpond. Drive east about three miles to the Kawela area where you can turn left up a side road, pull over, and enjoy the views of Maui, Lanai, and Oahu. Observe 12 species of birds including two endangered species at the nearby Wildlife Refuge. Visit the old Kamalo Wharf area and look inland to enjoy the view of the Mt. Kamakou area.

Picnic or hike at Pala’au State Park at the end of the road. Make advance arrangements with the Nature Conservancy to walk atop a boardwalk through the world's highest bog in the Kamakou Preserve at the top of Molokai or to visit the starkly beautiful Moomomi Sand Dunes Preserve on the northern edge of the island.

Make arrangements to take a hiking tour of some of the most historic sites in West Molokai. Enjoy a downhill or offroad biking tour.
