Thirty miles of reef teeming with marine life surround an island whose largest private landowner is a cattle ranch. This is the rural paradise of Molokai. Honeymooning couples will find the perfect blend of isolation and activity, from mountain biking, hiking or horseback riding on Molokai Ranch to kayaking the island's secluded shoreline. If visiting during the right time of year, you may even witness one of the state's largest outrigger canoe races or the annual hula festival.
We recommend staying on Molokai for at least six days to explore the island or fully unwind.
