After your plane touches down on Molokai, take your kids back to its open, inviting skies with a visit to the Big Wind Kite Factory in Maunaloa. They can be their own flight captains, piloting their ships on the trade winds. This is just one of Molokai's family friendly activities. Whether you're building sand castles on Papohaku Beach, one of Hawaii's largest white sand beaches, learning about the island's Hawaiian fishponds, or taking a tour of a macadamia nut farm, you'll have plenty of time to reconnect with your family.

And to remember your family vacation, send a real coconut from Central Molokai's Hoolehua Post Office. They provide the coconut and colored markers, you provide the address and the postage. Tell everyone back home about how much fun your family is having on Molokai. ​
