- Moloka‘i is a beautiful island. It is approximately 10x38 miles in size. The population is in the mid 7,000 range. There are no traffic lights on Moloka‘i and nothing is taller than the palm trees! Visiting the island will show you how the real and original Hawai‘i used to look like.
You will find very few tourists. Unfortunately, many people on Moloka‘i dislike visitors. You might find homemade signs telling visitors to go home. Mostly on the east side of the island.
Kaunakakai is the largest town with a population of 3,500+. The town has pretty much one gas station (there is another place where they have two pumps as well) and a couple of food places including Paddlers where you can have a drink and listen to live music. Kaunakakai has the longest pier in Hawai‘i.
Kalaupapa is home to the former Leper colony that operated for almost a century.
Brought back a ton of memories for me! I remember a family washing their clothes and playing in the river, that you showed at the end, while the men cast nets for fish. What a true old picture of Hawaii!
I love Molokai. Murphy Beach is my favorite place.
Thanks for the great video!
Wonderful video. Thanks for sharing
Thank you!
Thank you for showing such beautiful churches
You are welcome!
Another great video!
I appreciate it! Thank you!
Super video.
I love this video. I want to visit Molokai.
Very Beautiful ❤. Thank You So Much. Aloha Nui Loa 🌸🙏
Such a beautiful island. I can see how rustic and bucolic of a place it truly is. Very quiet and pristine. It is the most Hawaiian island,and will be,for it is deeply loved and protected by its people. May it always stay that way .
I appreciate your vidz of this awesome island. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
They are from another place yes, but they are also the original inhabitants of those islands.
Reminds me of Kahana valley on the Windward side of Oahu! Except drier and less lush green.
Speaking of which, you should check out Kahana Bay and valley. I think it is the most scenic place on Oahu
Our Lady of Seven Sorrows is where my grandparents are buried!!
Helt klart en mycket vacker miljö och verkar verkligen vara stillsamt och lugnt. Känns som ett måste att besöka.
It is a peaceful and quiet place. Like you said - A must!
The fence post wood is hardwood and much better than the treated lumber. Most of homes in Molokai uses this hardwood(can't remember name of the tree)for their fence post. Thank you for the video.
Interesting! Thank you!
Thanks for doing this! I followed along with Google maps. This video really gives you a sense of what it's like driving down there. Love how sharp your 4K camera is - what model is it?
Molokai has become a lot more friendly, when I lived on the island ten years ago locals would post up and prohibit tourists from going to the far east side. Especially white folks so consider yourself lucky 😂 Awesome video!
LOL I know what you mean ... I have met them ...
It is funny when all that land is owned buy white and not the locals.
Thx for video. Cant wait to be there. Any recommendations for nice beaches dont want to upset locals though thx
Best beaches are on the West side ...
Molokai no ka oe!
You cannot see Lahaina from there, maybe Kapalua.
I think you are right ... I checked and Lahaina is hidden! Thanks for the info.
You’re right 85% on indigenous Hawaiians were wiped out long ago. It got worse from there. With every island I visit I wonder, where are the Hawaiians?
The difference is, when Hawaiians came to Hawaii nobody was there.
I understand the history that resulted in signs telling people to go home or not think about moving there. And there has been some terrible history in Hawaii of native people being dispossessed of their land. But honestly, I still find the signs disturbing. You can't stop people from moving somewhere because they are not from there or not of the "correct" race. It reminds me of the Jim Crow south of the late 19th and early 20th centuries. No matter who is doing it or why, it's still wrong.
You are right. The world is for everybody.
@@SwedishVideoGuy Thanks for these videos, which are really great. The far longer amount of time spent filming each spot gives viewers a far greater appreciation for what they are like, in person, than most herky-jerky youtube editing. Thanks again.
While I do not disagree with either of you regarding exclusion and intolerance being misguided, no matter the source or reason, I do think there are some mixed messages here. As you stated, Moloka'i has never developed tourism, and its residents have ferociously defended the land against exploitative development efforts -- one reason why Moloka'i Ranch (fully 1/3 of the land mass) is being vindictively left to go to rot by the foreign owners. Yet they don't direct verbal or physical aggression against visitors (aka tourists) as is often the case on islands where tourism has surged beyond control. Indeed, the signs noted in the video clearly welcome guests to benefit from the aloha Moloka'i has to offer, but to take that mānna with them when they leave, rather than saddling it in an effort to buy a piece of the island. It may feel (or be) repelling, but it isn't illogical: We go to Moloka'i because, in contrast to most of the other islands, it is pristine and uncrowded; malihini who buy property in Moloka'i do so for the same reason. If everyone who visits buys land, how pristine and uncrowded will it remain?
My own view is, the signs reflect a hard reality: Moloka'i is wonderful thanks to the aloha 'āina of generations of residents who defended it against over development, and the signs are a visual reminder to those of us who come from elsewhere of the fact that sacrifices are involved in preserving paradise. And that's an important reminder when Larry Page bought most of Lana'i across the straight, and Mark Zuckerberg recruited local lackeys to buy up scores of kuleana lands to consolidate his expanding estate on Kaua'i.
I think you are 100% right.
unleaded. A year since I last left a comment here. I pray that Molokai will always stay just as it is,for I've seen what's happened to its sister islands concerning over development. I myself live out in the country where there's cattle and horses grazing in the fields,and quiet patches of timber. So I can relate. I'm keeping Maui in my prayers also after the wildfires that devastated Lahaina. Praying for the people there. Sending love and good wishes for all the islands.
