Waterfall Safety and Common Sense

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. However, 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.

To be honest, I had a hard time figuring out which one was which. I guess sometimes you’re better off just enjoying the experience and worrying less about geographical details.

Haloku Sea Cliffs and Waterfalls, Moloka’i, Hawai’i October 15, 2009 11:43 pm by John "Caveman" Gray - Haloku are often called the World's tallest sea cliffs. They rise 3,250 feet, a full kilometer. I ran 78 commercial trips down Koolau Moloka'i in the 1980's but since it was summer (the only time safe to kayak) we never saw Haloku pumping. On my Hurricane John honeymoon trip in August 1995 we did see… ...Read More
