Gabe! I just came back from the Big Island and saw WHALES!!! and dolphins.... you need to take those boat rides with the rest of us tourists and really see the great sites too! The volcano is erupting, there is new land forming, a helicopter ride to see the volcanos, the star gazing and telescopes on Mauna Kea... don't miss out on places just because you want to stay away from "touristy" things. Please go back and see them. So, there you go, Large Mammals in Hawaii... with babies. PS. Google and Uber don't work the best there in Hawaii. I LOVE the Molokai thumbnails!

I could be too late for your visit to Molokai,but when I visited there - quite a few years ago - I just loved it. The people - so much fun - and the amazing history. It was the home of both King Kamehameha - there's even a special coconut grove that he planted and it's the home of hula. They had a hula school there when we were there.

I don't think you actually found Molokai Ranch. That was housing for the plantation workers from many years ago. Molokai Ranch was much newer and more upscale. Luke with the Outdoor Boys channel was there a couple months ago and he explained why there isn't much tourism on the island. kzbin.info/www/bejne/fWmndpyprK50ibcsi=kiJtENdX5Fzf4T08 Not everyone is looking for increased tourism, and you may not get the warmest welcome if you visit that particular island. I wish you would have asked a local person how to pronounce the name of the island, because yours was a little off. Don't always trust Google when looking for correct pronunciations.

Moloka'i is NOT a resort destination. Moloka'i is INTENSE and intensely Hawaiian, intensely LOCAL. Kaua'i is NOTHING compared to Moloka'i for localism. Lānaʻi is another remote place which is advertised for the folks who LOOOVE to live off the grid. Moloka'i and Lāna'i purposefully do not want to attract a throng of visitors. They are places where people go when they have visited other Hawaii's islands, when they want to go see friends and relatives who live there, when they want to literally get away from it all, and well ... when, Ni'ihau will not let them in.

The stalemate that followed a bitter tug-of-war between Molokai Ranch and the local community now has residents revisiting an old idea: Why not buy the ranch themselves? Listed for sale in 2017 by a Singapore-based investment firm, the mostly deserted 55,575-acre estate has in recent years attracted developers hawking plans to farm organic biofuel for export to South Korea or generate wind energy for Oahu. Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg reportedly considered buying it while on a Molokai hunting trip. None of this talk has amounted to action. Meanwhile, assets ranging from a gas station and roads to resorts and an oceanfront golf course hang in a limbo of disrepair. Community organizers proposing to buy the ranch face tough questions not only about whether an island of 7,400 people with the state’s lowest household incomes and highest unemployment can really pull off a $260 million land grab. But what, if the community does succeed, should be done with the vast acreage, which includes 20 miles of coastline, expanses of parched pasture, neglected roads, utility systems and a scarce supply of water.

This is our home - the last stronghold of Native Hawaiians on earth - we truthfully do not want tourism here & have been fighting for generations to keep our home for locals - and keep out tourism. We don’t want loads of visitors and especially not folks coming and buying up land that then displaces our locals. Molokai is not your tourist playground.
