Murphy's Beach in Molokai - Hawaii

The beach was a dump, literally. The ranch owner, George Murphy, gave his permission to use the site as a park, and the Jaycees cleaned it up and built three small pavilions, plus picnic tables and barbecue grills. Officially, the park is called the George Murphy Beach Park (shortened to Murphy Beach Park over the years), but some old-timers still call it Kumimi Beach, and just to make things really confusing, some people call it Jaycees Park.

Eco-tours in Molokai - Hawaii

SCUBA DIVING along the wild southern & also northern shores, when winds & waves permit. New dive sites around small islets just offshore, where excellent pelagic & shark populations are thriving.

SEA KAYAKING along the undeveloped southern coast -- more than 28 miles of maritime marvels.

PACIFIC HUMPBACK WHALE WATCHING in prime season, from December through May.

PRIVATE FISHING CHARTERS: topwater, short-casting, deep sea, whatever you desire.

SURFING LESSONS & BOOGIE BOARDS. The waves can be rugged, so you've gotta watch the local lads first, & be super careful as many of the breaks are over coral beds, not cushy sand.

GUIDED MULE RIDES down a 3,900-foot cliff face, by a safe but adrenalizing switchback trail, on the North Shore Sea Cliffs, all the way down to the sanctuary-like serenity of Father Damien's old healthcare colony on Kalaupapa Peninsula. Scores of native Hawaiians still live down on this lovely isolated tract. Many are descendents of original 19th century patients, all of whom were cured completely decades ago. Only mules, serious hiking or a small charter plane can get you down that cliff to Kalaupapa.

SEA CLIFF MOUNTAIN BIKE TOURS & "Gravity Rides" down giddy miles of country roads, with wind in your hair & gnats in your teeth.

SHORELINE HIKING along some of the wildest, most remote tropical beaches in the Pacific, one of which still burns in my memory as a near archetypal vision of the perfect strand -- the renowned Papohaku Beach on the west end -- three miles of ethereal white sand that's a soccer field wide & clean as Cascade Mountain snow. (This is where legend has it the sacred Hawaiian hula dance originated.)

CUSTOM CARDIO-HIKES to heart-starting locales such as the North Shore Pali (towering sea cliffs) or what many islanders feel is the most sacred spot on Molokai, the 250-foot Moa'ula Falls in the mystical Halawa Valley. This is one of the most remote wilderness basins in the Pacific. Halawa Valley is half a mile wide, more than 3 miles deep & leads to two breathtaking waterfalls that effervesce the pool below so powerfully, local folks say it feels like diving into sparkling soda bubbles! Halawa Valley rocks.

GUIDED HORSEBACK TREKS along countless miles of wilderness trails that rival the Colorado Rockies in sheer wide-open beauty & rugged gains.
