If you stay at WaveCrest, this church is a very short drive away. So simple, so austere. It reminded me of what it must have been like when it was an outpost for Fr. Damien's work on the island. The inspiration was incredible. It is such a beautiful, quiet, peaceful place for reflection and prayer.

No longer usable, this was the first church on the island

This one seems more utilized and while it has been saved, peeling doors and railings cry out for a fix up party. Still, a lovely setting and a spiritual purity in its simplicity and setting. You can walk in - or at least it was unlocked for us.
5. Kawela Battle Field

This site is famous as a battleground and as a place of refuge. Kamehameha the Great shed rivers of blood in Kawela in order to capture the island as part of a larger assault on O'ahu.

When visiting Molokai you just can’t miss visiting this farm of fragrant flowers. The owner is a gem and he gives a tour of the farm and even teaches you how to pick your flowers and make a lei for yourself. So glad we made this a part of our trip.
