The winds are super high,and they don't need to fly you around molokai on the scenic tour to take you to the airport... but I did see these cliffs on a heli tour and it was mind blowing!

Exactly! At first, I thought that I was looking down on an encampment of some kind, but nope...pretty rocks, lol.

Boat rides are available

Hard to go wrong with orange and teal.

I think I just found my new wallpaper.

thank you! i had no idea all the beaches were black sand.

Just walk a few km and you’ll be in riverwood

I’m not an Iceland expert but technically all beaches in Iceland are black sand beaches. Winter is best for winter activities like ice cave exploration, snow mobility on glaciers, and seeing the northern lights. Summer is better for road conditions and doing outdoor hikes and stuff like that.

You can see black sand beaches at any time tho. The most popular one is in the town Vik on the south of the island.

I thought there'd be a comment like this. You did not disappoint me

Wow!

>you cannot catch the disease just from meeting and shaking hands with a person who has it

Well how can I catch it? You're holding out on us and I'm in a hurry!

I wanna fall down those and bounce off every ledge as I go

Has anyone climbed that?

Everything reminds me of her

Monsantokai

Yeah no nope. As far as I ever experienced, all the wind came off the ocean, but I wouldn’t risk it in the off chance the wind swung around. I’d be screwed. (Disclaimer I was only there 3 days before moving on south, during the tail end of what was left Hurricane Oscar, my experience is limited, admittedly)

I made some other tourists laugh because I held onto my mom’s coat while she was wondering on the Dangerous Death Cliff Side of the little slate fence thing. She said “I’m FINE, let go” and I, in my panic, said “well, you’re the only one that knows how to drive standard!”

I did climb over on the danger side on some of the wider parts, took a selfie with my mom and brother and then scooted right back over.

Ah yes I remember that part. And from everything I’ve heard, that’s absolutely based on something real that would happen, where people in the settlement would sneak up to the main part of the island. Definitely a treacherous journey though, and even more treacherous at night. It is pitch black out there. Only the stars and moon provide light. Nowadays you can see a glow coming from Honolulu, but at the time when the book took place you definitely couldn’t. Also, having myself walked around in the jungle at night on Molokai, it’s not for the faint of heart. There’s spooky noises and lots of creepy crawlies. Whenever I’ve gone into the thick of it I bring a machete lol. Also my late Uncle carried a gun lol

Thank you!

Thank you! One more thing... the reason your photo caught me is that there is a passage in "Molokai" where a group of young girls actually climbs that cliff (!!!) in order to socialize with locals for one night. Although the novel is fiction, it is based upon reality and old stories, so that segment stayed with me.

Oh yeah that’s right! I saw that one recently. I’ll definitely give it another stab. I’m obsessed with Hawaiian history and yeah, have deep ties to the islands, plus Molokai is my favorite island haha. I’ve spent too much time there to not give the book another chance. Best to you as well! Happy reading and happy travels!
