One is near the Southern Oasis which is to the south of Gerudo Town. The others are southwest of Gerudo Town, one in the Arbiter's Grounds which are southwest of the Southern Oasis, and one is to the northwest of the Arbiter's Grounds.

To defeat a Molduga, avoid walking too close or it will go underneath you and swallow you. You can try to lure it out from under the sand by throwing a bomb between you and it, then detonating the bomb when the Molduga swallows it. If it launches you into the air, you can use the Paraglider and you can try to shoot it from above. You can also try to fight the Molduga while using a Sand Seal.
