Molokai is the 5th largest and also the 3rd smallest inhabited Hawaiian island. Compared to other comparably sized islands, it is very under-visited, partly due to the lack of significant accommodation infrastructure.

The locals try to protect Molokai from mass tourism with strict ordinances on new construction, but that doesn't mean tourists aren't welcome.

On the contrary, if you accept the poorer tourist infrastructure, you'll get a glimpse into an amazing world of natural wonders with the world's tallest cliffs and experience the true quiet Hawaiian life.
