Getting around on Molokai
One of the best things about Molokai is that it gives
people the chance to experience what it is like be far,
far away from the noise of the city. It is a place where
you can turn off your mobile phone, shut down the laptop
and enjoy the beauty of nature.
Molokai is only 38 miles (61 km) long and has some of the most remote
roads in the Hawaiian Islands. Public
transportation is not available.
The best way to get around and see the island is by renting a car. The car rental options
are limited as well, so it is best to reserve in advance.
Car
rental companies on Molokai include Alamo Rent a Car, Budget, Island Kine Auto Rentals and Discount Hawaii Car Rental. The car rental companies can be
found right at the Molokai Airport for your convenience.
Getting behind the wheel on Molokai is a breeze. There are no traffic lights or traffic jams on Molokai. Also, it is easy
to navigate around Molokai even for first-time visitors.
There is only one major highway and smaller roads lead from it to nearby destinations.
Some of the roads on Molokai
are only accessible with a four-wheel drive vehicle. You can
ask the car rental companies for advice.
Driving on Molokai reflects the lifestyle of the island.
It is more relaxed and more composed than in other
places. A sign at the airport reminds visitors
of the local driving culture. It says, “Slow down, you’re on
Molokai!”
If driving doesn’t appeal to you, you can arrange for a taxi or
a tour service to get around the island. Contact Molokai Off-Road Tours and Taxi
at (808) 553-3369 for taxi services, an airport shuttle or
island tour.
For an even slower way to see the sights of the island, mopeds
and bicycles can be rented as well. |
