Molokai (also Molokai) is the fifth largest island of the Hawaiian archipelago. The island is 38 by 10 miles (61 by 16 km), with a land area of 260.02 sq mi (673.44 km²). It lies east of Oahu across the 25 mile (40 km) wide, Ka-iwi Channel and north of Lānai, separated from it by the Kalohi Channel. The lights of Honolulu are visible at night from the west end of Molokai, while nearby Lānai and Maui are clearly visible from anywhere along the south shore of the Island.

Geography


Molokai is built from two distinct volcanoes known as East Molokai and the much smaller West Molokai. The highest point is Kamakou on East Molokai, at 4,970 feet (1,515 m). East Molokai volcano, like Koolau on Oahu is today only what remains standing of the southern half of the original mountain. The northern half suffered a catastrophic collapse and now lies as a debris field scattered northward across the Pacific Ocean bottom. The south shore of Molokai boasts the longest fringing reef of the US and its holdings -- nearly 40 km long.
