Family trip to Molokai with children. Ideas on where to go with your child

Molokai, one of the islands of the 50th American state, is a wonderful place for a family holiday. Children will appreciate all the charms of this place. There are a lot of wonderful parks, beaches, mountains, and other beautiful natural attractions that fit perfectly in the green landscape of the island. As for entertainments, you can go horse-riding and enjoy water activities (diving, surfing, etc.).

Children will be impressed by horse-riding tours organized by the Molokai Mule Ride. Such recreation will not leave them indifferent, which is not surprising, as they can also ride across the beach or in the park. This will add some charm to your family vacation. On Molokai, you should also visit farms where you will feel a pastoral and relaxing atmosphere. One of such places is the Kumu Farms. Here, you can learn about the production of healthy products. The Farms are located in the center of the island near Molokai Airport.

Another interesting place is the Halawa Tropical Flower Farm. It is a picturesque flower farm that is located in the east of the island, near the Muala in the Halawa Valley. You can visit it for free but you can also make a donation. Here, you can learn everything about exotic flowers and the farm itself. You can also take a tour to waterfalls. Children will be delighted with fruit cocktails. Copyright www.orangesmile.com

One of the best beaches in Molokai is Murphy's Beach that attracts a lot of divers. From here, you can see the other Hawaii island, Maui. You can also see turtles here and, of course, swim in the azure waters of the Pacific Ocean. The beach is located in the south of Molokai. Another interesting beach for family recreation is Kepuhi Beach located on the west coast. It is perfect for fishing and walking, especially at sunset. On the beach, there is a picnic area. It is one of the most popular beaches on the island, so it is always overcrowded.

The Dixie Maru Beach (that is also called Kapukahehu by the locals) is another wonderful beach for family recreation. It is located in the west of the island. Unlike the Kepuhi Beach, it is quite small. It is famous for its picturesque landscapes so you should definitely walk with your family here. In the north-west of the island, there is another interesting beach, Kawakiu. It is a small cove that is suitable for swimming. It is quiet and peaceful here. As for parks on Molokai, the Moloka'i Forest Reserve in the north and the Hālawa Beach Park in the east are worth being visited. They have picturesque views that you must see at least once.

On the northern coast, there is another wonderful natural attraction, Nene O Molokai. Here, visitors can learn about Hawaii brants, or “nenes”, that are at risk of extinction due to predators delivered to the island. They are safe here and children can even feed them and appreciate all the charms of this place. You should also learn more about the culture and history of the island in the Molokai Museum and Cultural Center. There was a sugar mill once. Today, it is an ethnographic museum. Its exhibits are products produced in the sugar mill and original action pictures of Kualapuʻu. The museum is located near the Ironwood Hills Golf Club, in the north of the island not far from the city of Kualapuʻu.

As for restaurants and cafes where you can take your children to, the following are worth being mentioned: Kamoi Snack-n-Go where you can taste unrivaled ice cream; the Kanemitsu Bakery that, as the name implies, serves the best pastries; the Coffees of Hawaii that serves delicious cookies; and the Molokai Pizza Cafe where you should taste incredible pizza and delicious pancakes.
