Matt's place in the beautiful Paniolo Hale ("Cowboy House") development provided a comfortable, peaceful, and fully-equipped refuge on the stunning, wild and wooly island of Molokai. Every morning we grabbed our snorkel gear, took the 5 minute walk down a path through tree-covered canopies, past few people but an array of island wildlife including Axis deer, a variety of birds and a singular, beautiful owl and of course a couple of monk seals, to enjoy a quiet swim at Makehorse Beach. Excellent snorkeling! (We also used the pool quite a bit; one of the most beautiful tile jobs I've ever seen, and again, empty of people!) Matt's info. about making the most of your Molokai trip is very helpful, and Cathi is close by to deal with any questions that come up. We recommend Kumu Farms organic produce, and buying bottled drinking water at one of the stores. Also recommend the Saturday Farmer's Market, a snorkel trip with Molokai Fish and Dive, trying some "real" local food at the cookhouse next to the coffee plantation and don't miss the once-in-a-lifetime Kalaupappa Muleride down 1,674 feet of breath-taking seacliffs to learn about Father Damien's work with the leper colony. We hope to return someday!
