There are numerous other Molokai Waterfalls residing on the steep sea cliffs on the north shore of the island. I created this page to try to show the ones we've seen in our trips to Moloka'i (typically via helicopter tour).
Most of them have very temporary or seasonal flows, and this includes the named Kahiwa Falls, which is often quoted as the highest waterfall in Hawai'i (but I suspect that this claim is probably inaccurate). In addition to named falls such as Kahiwa Falls, there is also Olo'upena Falls, Haloku Falls, Pu'uka'oku Falls, Wailele Falls as well as numerous other unnamed ones.
Directions: See the Honokohau Falls page for directions to the Maui helipad.
