Molokai and Lanai are two islands off the coast of Maui that are very small in size. Molokai is known as a native island that is typically not populated by tourists. Lanai is known as the pineapple island and is more of a private island-like experience. There are few roads that are paved and not one single traffic light. However, Lanai is peaceful which is exactly how you will be if you decide to visit this amazing island.
LANAI & MOLOKAI
WHAT TO EXPECT
Language: Hawaii is the only US state to have two official languages. Both English and Hawaiian are spoken on the Big Island.
​
Currency: The US Dollar ($) - However, Hawaii is the most expensive state in the U.S. For example, 1 USD on the mainland is equal to only 84 cents in Hawaii which means prices are about 15% higher.
​
Credit Cards and Banks: Credit cards are widely accepted all over the island. This includes Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Discover. There are plenty of ATMs, if you would like to have cash on hand for tipping or while attending a local flea or farmer's market.
​
Best Time to Visit: If you can, visit any island just before or after the summer. April to May or September to October will allow you to have the best weather. The winter months, from November to March can be a hit or miss due to it being more rainy, and June to November is hurricane season.
