The Friendly Island is the moniker that explains Molokai today. This island is less developed than the others, thus it remains a wonderful showcase of what Hawaiian life is. They offer mule rides to take you to the north side of the island. The leper colony was once at this site that is now a historical park. The all day ride wanders through the island and down 1,700 feet to the former settlement. Throughout the ride you will be traversing on switchbacks and enjoying the pristine wilderness of Hawaii. Molokai is striving to restore the ancient ways with the Hawaiian fishponds. They were once used as a clever use of aquaculture.
