Horseback riders on Molokai are in for
slim pickings. You will find yourself basically limited to
Molokai Ranch,
who offer a variety of rides over their ranch lands, and the
Molokai Horse and Wagon Ride, which heads up through the Mapulehu
mango grove and up to the lli'ili'opae Heiau, largest on the island. Then, of
course, there are the mules...
The
Molokai Mule Ride is the chief
attraction on Molokai. The well-trained mules will transport you
roundtrip down the 1,700-foot pali face, expertly negotiating the hairpin
switchbacks on the trail. The ride each way is about 90 minutes.
Included with the tour is a 2-hour tour of the Kalaupapa leper colony
from Father Damien Tours.
