The island is about 17 miles long and 10 miles across. A rental car is necessary to get around.

Do

Walk down the 3 blocks of this sleepy Hawaiian town and visit the various shops. Go to the pier where the ferry departs from. Eat in on of the restaurants listed below.

Buy

Kaunakakai is not a tourist shopping mecca. In town itself you will find a couple grocery stores of the Mom and Pop variety. There is a drug store, ice cream store, health food store, and several sundry stores.

Eat

Do not look for the typical fast food in Kaunakakai or, for that matter, on Molokai. There is one single Subway Sandwitch shop, the Molokai Pizza Cafe and the Molokai Drive-In. Hotel Molokai is right on the water front and offers a full menu with special local entertainment every Friday evening. For a special experience try the Kanemitsu's Bakery. People wait in line for their Hawaiian bread and cream pies are renown.

Drink

Hotel Molokai is a great place to relax with your favorite drink, listen to the entertainment and watch the waves. In the distance you can see Lanaii.

Sleep

Well, we are back to the Hotel Molokai. Do not expect a 5-Star Ritz Carlton. It fits in well with the laid back nature of Molokai. Additionally there are multiple Bed & Breakfasts around the town.

Get out

Same way you got in.
