This island was the location where individuals suffering from Leprosy in Hawaii were dumped to live
out the rest of their days while the disease ate away their flesh. Literally, Molokai Island was the last place anyone wanted
to visit. However, in the mid 1800s a Belgium priest arrived and made the victims of Molokai island feel as if they had some
hope. Today Molokai Island still has a resident population of leprosy victims, although the number is very small. The
rest of the population is mostly Hawaiian and they simply enjoy living daily life fishing and spending time with their family.
As a result, if you are traveling to Hawaii and looking for the most peace and relaxation you can find then you should consider
Molokai. Molokai is the third oldest Hawaiian island at 2 million years old. It rose up from the sea to make an amazing
island that is tranquil, beautiful and exhibits the lifestyle of old Hawaiian culture.
