West Maui Mountains
Stunning vistas of the lush, jagged peaks of Maui visible across the Pailolo Channel shortly after takeoff.
Ancient Fishponds
Dozens of centuries-old, semi-circular stone fishponds (Loko I'a) along Molokai's southern shoreline.
Molokai Barrier Reef
The longest continuous fringing reef in the United States, showcasing vibrant turquoise and teal water patterns.
Kaunakakai Harbor
The iconic long wharf and main port of Molokai, visible just before the final descent into MKK.
The right side is essential for seeing the historic fishponds, which are a cultural and geographic highlight of this route. For photography, morning flights are best as the sun illuminates the Maui mountains and the shallow reefs without glare. Ensure your camera is ready immediately, as the flight time is exceptionally short.
