Inside Hawaii's Most Isolated Island (no traffic lights) 🇺🇸

Out in the Hawaiian islands is a place that stands out on its own. Molokai is the island (outside of unaccessible Niihau) that's kept development away. This is old Hawaii, a place without traffic lights or bustle. Here, time stands still, and the locals have fought hard to keep it this way. Join me on an epic adventure with a Molokai local into a Hawaiian island that has stayed true to its roots.

"Don't change Molokai. Let Molokai change you." - well said. What a beautiful place.

[brinkksmusic]

My type of vibe.
No drama.
Just great family oriented people and nature.

I was stationed in Hawaii for 3 years. We were always told to not go to the westside because people were “rude”. They could not have been nicer to my pregnant wife, and eventually our newborn baby. Hawaiians are very forgiving people. The energy you give, like Peter in this video, is the respect you’ll receive in return. It was emotional to see Oahu during covid and hear from the Hawaiians that the ocean was healing and looking like “it used to be”. God Bless you all and Mahalo for letting my family visit.

Big respect for the humbleness and respect of store owner. The world should learn from this man.

[rouilliew]

All those children going to school, playing safely in their neighborhood, friendly neighbors, hunting, fishing, ...Very rich people. You have everything. Mahalo for the glimpse and stay blessed.

I am Hawaiian, I was born and raised in Hawaii on Oahu and Moloka'i. I live in Texas now. But Moloka'i will always be my home island. My grandfather is buried there, my grandmother is buried there, most of my family is buried there, my mother (East End) and father (Ho'olehua Homestead) are both from Moloka'i. I grew up on that island. Hunting, fishing, tagging along with my dad when he had to trap and neutralize mongoose issues out of the wildlife refuge. I know Kaunakakai like the back of my hand. I grew up killing time in Pascua store, Kanemitsu Bakery (before Hot Bread was even a thing), Misaki's and running around Rawlins Chevron which I guess is Texaco now.

I do miss it. Moloka'i will always be home. I hope this video helps to educate some folks and maybe give them a wanderlust to visit, but I also hope this video doesn't cause any detriment to the way of life Moloka'i has and should always have.

Keep Moloka'i, Moloka'i.

Peter, you continue to show your viewers the world through the eyes of locals. No flash and dash, but the down to earth people who live in the places you showcase. Great stuff! Nobody does it the way you do it, and that’s a beautiful thing!

I am a local on Oahu. I have never been to Molokai but grew up knowing how special this island was and still is. It was almost an unspoken understanding and respect that if you had no real reason to go there, let them be in peace. What a rare place to live and raise an ohana, truly a blessing. I hope that Ben and the rest of the locals there are able to find a perfect balance that benefits them and continues to allow them to thrive in their paradise. Mahalo for sharing Peter!

[russbradley]

Kudos to Peter, he's doing what most can't. Talking to and visiting these people of the real world.

[jbaby]

I had the blessing to stay on Molokai for 9 months, 7 months longer than I anticipated. They say she'll either welcome you or spit you out. Boy was I welcomed! The people there are incredible. I really enjoyed the much slower pace of life and getting connected with nature. Those 9 months felt like a rebirth and I've never been the same since (in a good way of course).

[susanvaughan]

I pray that Ben's dream of organic food production on Molokai (and everywhere!) comes to fruition. He's really got his head screwed on right.

[carolthomas]

Your host is so open and honest. Very gracious to give his time and insights. These folks have many stories to tell. Thank you.

[kdLakeLife]

Made my day seeing that people can stand together to protect their way of life. Without big money influence they are happy and surviving just fine.

[fty-ysni]

I appreciate how respectful you are and how self-aware you are of your place as a visitor.

[KyranSparda]

Never in my ancestors' lifetimes they could image we can see beauties of an island half a world away through the internet. Amazing times we live in.

[keySkullghost]

Your channel is THE most important channel in the USA. I don’t know how else to put it. Please never stop bringing us all together.

[hilsaamrav]

We need more YouTubers like you, Peter. As someone from India who's unlikely to visit so many places in the foreseeable future, you show us places that are worth exploring. Thank you!

[lsugimoto]

I'm born and raised in Hawaii and really loving this Hawaii Series. You got the right people taking you around

[Banshee]

I’ve honestly NEVER heard a shred of knowledge about this island and its people. What an amazing series. I hope they always stand up for their home and keep it exactly how they want it.

[Jouhatsu-oiqg]

This is the classic Peter Santenello style I fell in love with some years ago! This is raw, talented journalism, amazing editing and storytelling, and most of all, taking risks in conflict areas to tell a powerful story. Keep up the amazing work, Peter! 👏
