During the summer months, when the waters
on the north shore are calm, Molokai offers some of the most spectacular
kayaking in Hawaii. You can paddle from remote valley to remote valley,
spending a week or more exploring the exotic terrain. However, Molokai
is for the experienced kayaker only. You must be adept in paddling through
open ocean swells and rough waves.
