Molokai, known as the "Friendly Isle" is one of the least developed islands in the Hawaiian chain. It is the island where Father Damien was laid to rest after he came down with the horrific disease known commonly as leprosy or Hansen's disease. He gave his life to the people of Molokai and is heralded as one of the greatest and most unselfish men of his time.
Probably the most interesting and beautiful, yet difficult thing to do on Molokai is to visit Kalaupapa Peninsula; which is where Father Damien had his mission. What makes it difficult is its lack of accessibility. You can only get there by mule or airplane. I have only visited by airplane and I do recommend this trip.
