Leaving from
Moving From Molokai or Lanai to the Mainland
Molokai and Lanai have the fewest options and the least frequent barge service, so planning starts earlier.
Island logistics
- Barge service to Kaunakakai and Kaumalapau is less frequent.
- Many households self-pack and ship a container or crates via the barge.
- Consider selling large furniture locally.
Things locals wish they'd known
- Expect to coordinate directly with the barge company and an Oahu-based mover.
- Build extra weeks into your timeline.
