Surprising my wife

2012-02-10T22:19:55Z

My wife and I will be visiting in April this year. We try and make it back to Hawaii once a year (by working an ungodly amount of overtime/extra work!). This year may be our last trip before we settle down and have little ones running around. Does anyone have any ideas of things I could do on the island to surprise my wife? We have already booked the mule ride and may be going on the Halawa Hike but we have yet to visit this island and I know nothing about it! We are very laid back people so the smallest suggestions would be appreciated. Mahalo in advance!

Hula lessons

2012-01-22T04:30:11Z

are there locals who would give hula lessons? I took a 5 hour class in the states several years ago, and would enjoy a private lesson with a native. How would one go about finding someone when visiting for a week? (i am actually not going for another year, but just curious how I would go about it)

Kite Boarding

I will be on Molokai the second half of January 2012 and was wondering if there are any kiters or info on kiting. I have seen folks kiting behind the reef in the past, but not sure if there are many locals kitesurfing there.

Is there a chart that compares features of all the vacation rental choices?

You can find a comparison chart and local insights for the condos and the hotel here - http://visitmolokai.com/molokai-vacatio … arison.php That covers about 90% of the choices.

Is Molokai safe for a single woman to visit?

2011-04-24T21:55:47Z

Molokai is safer than almost anywhere else in the US.

Single women from all over the world have visited and I've never heard of any disasters befalling them. The only caveat would be to employ the same safety measures you would at other visitor destinations.

Does anyone offer air tours over Molokai?

Molokai Air Tours offers the only Molokai-based excursions - http://www.molokaiairtour.com They provide air tours of the Molokai sea cliffs, circle island tours and flights in/out of Kalaupapa, which include the Damien Tour.

Iolani Air Tours from the big island has been offering charters recently with similar choices - http://iolaniair.com

Got Bugs? Are mosquitos a problem?

2011-04-14T22:28:30Z

Mosquitos? Ticks? Just wondering if I should pack bug spray.

Paper or plastic?

2011-04-14T02:59:23Z

A little note for those who don't yet know about Maui County's plastic bag ban. As of 01/11/11 merchants are not allowed to use plastic bags to package your purchases.

So if you'll be shopping while you're here, have bags with you. Of course most merchants have cloth shopping bags available for sale at the checkout area.

Some of the condo owners may provide shopping bags, but I suggest you bring some from home. Even plastic bags are acceptable, they make excellent containers in your suitcase for damp or sandy clothing.

What's the name of the grouping of 10 or so 1-2 bedroom condos right next to Hotel Molokai? Do you have their contact information?

Kayaking

2011-04-12T03:03:51Z

Is there anywhere on the island to rent a kayak? I really don't want to pay for an excursion.
