From Molokai to Oahu - Molokai Forum

We' re going to stay in Molokai for over a whole weekend and want to go on a full excursion to Oahu. Molokai ferries only go to Maui. Isn' that our only way to get on a plane? Luckily Island Air (including Mokulele and PW Express) has many planes that arrive at 7:55 am and return at 5:40 am (Mokulele has a plane leaving 1/2 hours later).

As soon as you arrive at HNL, we were very lucky with Star Taxi; or take a city bus: enjoying your time in Molokai! The thread has been discontinued due to apathy. Hopefully you will join the discussion by publishing an open subject or start a new one.

Journey to Moloka'i from Kauai and jeep hire - Molokai Message Board

How is it best to get from Kauai to Moloka'i? Do you offer charter flights or maybe even a boat from Maui? We always hire out a jeep while in Hawaii we like to discover the remote area. Do you need four-wheel drives in Moloka'i to explor?

No more ferries between Maui and Moloka?i; you must travel by air. If, by "off the well-trodden paths ", you mean off-road, then www.com is not a good notion. I' m not talking about off-roading on home turf. To me, it is more difficult to go to walking paths or to the beach off the country lanes or in a regular automobile.

Shortly after the shuttle leaves its Lahaina port, three hawaiian brethren open the top of their giant radiator and begin to deliver ice-cold tins of beers to one of the few people they will take with them.

Some of the people move inside to prevent the sea breezes and occasionally salt sprays in the Pailolo Channel between Maui and Molokai, but eight of us sit on desks and banks at the back of the boat, pointing out breaking worms as the lights go down in bright red and amber.

As he gives me a second ale, the same bro gives me advices because he thought we tripped on the boat, because we thought it was the only way to get to Molokai. It' getting closer to the port of Molokai, it' s getting dusk. On the other hand, I can number a few dozens of water side lamps near Molokai harbour, and some of them are expecting vehicles to collect family from the boatboats.

The whole Molokai is far from everything. I turn from the cliff face that separates the Pacific Ocean from the Ali'i fish pond to the ocean to look at the deeper fissures dug into the Molokai mountainsides, whose peaks are covered with fog.

"One has to be Pono," says Mervin Dudoit when he described how Hawaii' ancient inhabitants used to carry stones from the hill 10 leagues away by foot to build the 2,700 foot long barrier on which we stand - one of about 60 stonefish ponds that once stood on the south bank of the Molokai. Originally from Molokai, Uncle Merv is a member of the Kapuna (wise eldest) Council of Ka Honua Momona, an organisation that has set itself the goal of being a sustainable example of Mecca a Mauai.

Rather than take a submersible later that afternoon, I take the street from the biggest city, Kaunakakakai, to Molokai's silent "Top-End". "Some front gardens are equipped with anti-GMO reports from Monsanto, which has set up test ranches on the islands. I' m turning onto a street near the airfield that Kumu Farm - which manufactures certificated bio and non-GMO products for Molokai inhabitants and tourists (and sends away 1000s of papayas per week).

There is no cuisine in my room, so my possibilities are restricted, but I buy some papayas for a snack before supper. I' m going back to my lodge to experience Friday afternoons Na Kapuna Kanipapila - a group of ukulelele performers who meet once a week to perform and chant and share their local style and knowledge with everyone who is present, most of whom are local.

On-the-spot histories and story preoccupy my eyes, and the gradual buildup of Molokai lives infiltrates, like the almost unseen saline sprays on my hide. Retrieving a small bowl of salted material that I collected 20 leagues off the coast, I pass my hands through the bulky crystal, creating traces similar to those of a centimetre high spoon.

Now I sit in the shadow of the greens made by Uncle Francis and recognise one of the two-night before. From San Francisco to Molokai costs about $600 and can take up to 10hrs. Or you can take the San Francisco to Maui and take the twice daily Lahaina port shuttle.
