Wild, Quiet Molokai

Standing at the edge of Kalaupapa Lookout in Pala'au State Park and gazing down nearly 2,000 feet to the peninsula below, one gets a sense of how truly spectacular Molokai's geography is. Home to the <B>world's tallest sea cliffs,</b> the island remains a pristine, uncrowded destination, with many spots still possessing the <I>mana</i> (life force) of earlier times. <br><br> Not far from the lookout, you'll find the massive, phallic-shaped stone known as Kauleonanahoa — one of the finest examples of a <B>traditional fertility rock</b> to be found in the Islands, and one of the most powerful. It is believed to this day that if a woman goes to Kauleonanahoa with offerings and spends the night, she will return home pregnant.<BR> <BR> The island offers many other historic sites. In 1865, King Kamehameha V selected Molokai as the <B>coffee-growing region</b> for the Kingdom of Hawaii. Today, those seeking a mule-drawn tour and a fine cup of 100-percent Molokai coffee should head for the rolling hills of Kualapu'u, near the center of the island, which are home to the 500-acre plantation of Coffees of Hawaii. <BR><BR> Not far from here one can also find the <B>Molokai Museum and Cultural Center,</b> which hosts an extensive collection of artwork from the late 1800s, plus the entire <B>R.W. Meyer Sugar Mill,</b> a National Historic Place built in 1878 that has been restored to its original operating condition. <BR><BR> <B><I>If you're island hopping</i></b>...<BR>We recommend spending at least 2 full days exploring Molokai's many natural wonders.<br>
