Molokai likes it lonely
This LA Times article does a good job explaining why some locals want to limit tourism on Molokai. One of the two hotels, on the island, the Lodge at Molokai Ranch, has closed, since the article was written in 2007. Tourists stay, at the Hotel Molokai, or in condos, like the Wavecrest, where the Kramars stayed for their honeymoon.
Tourist activities, including hiking, are mentioned in this article.
From the article: Snorkeling is fine -- in certain places. Kayaking is good, but "we don't want a flotilla of 25 kayaks." Hiking? Sure, but not "roaming all over the hills" without guides, possibly disturbing sacred sites.
