Molokai is the least accessible of the Hawaiian islands, which is one of the reasons why it is the quietest of them all.

Molokai can only be reached by plane. There are no regular ferry services, mainly due to the rough ocean waters surrounding the Hawaiian Islands

Flying to Molokai

Due to the small airport and short runway on Molokai, no major airlines fly there from the US mainland or from Honolulu. It is therefore not possible to book a direct flight on a single ticket from overseas or the US mainland; you must always fly to Oahu or Maui first and then continue on a local flight.

Currently, only one airline, Mokulele Airlines, offers flights to Molokai. It operates direct flights from the following locations:

• Honolulu HNL– 1–2 times per hour, prices from 85 usd one way
• Kahului OGG– 6–7 times a day, fares from 85 usd one way
• Lanai LNY – once a day, fares from 150 usd one way

You’ll land at Molokai MKKAirport in the centre of the island.

Organised tours

In the north of the island, you’ll find another small airport, Kalaupapa, serving the village of the same name; however, this can only be accessed via charter flights arranged through a local travel agency. Individual flight tickets to Kalaupapa are available only to local residents.

From 2023, organised trips to Kalaupapa will no longer be available, and the only way to reach the island will be via scheduled flights to Molokai Airport (MKK).

Ferries

There are no regular passenger ferries to the island of Molokai, not even from the nearest neighbouring islands.
