Maloo Bay is a premier beach site for surfing, snorkeling, and swimming. The Fish Rain dive site offers a spectacular underwater adventure for the more advanced divers. Molokai remains one of the least commercialized areas on the Hawaii islands, offering visitors a look back to the turn of the century before the tourist industry really started booming. Visitors can stay at the Molokai Ranch, a semi-permanent tentalow style camping or in the small resort located at the Ranch.
