About 28 miles from Molokai's main town of Kaunakakai, but at the end of a long, winding one lane highway. Travel is slow, so allow a few hours. There are some very scenic views along the way.

Really neat drive up to the falls, and the beaches are beautiful. However, the guide (from the flower farm) did not bother to show up. We sat there for nearly an hour before being told by locals that he often is either really late or does not show up.

The drive to the Halawa Valley is picturesque. Even though the hiking trail to the waterfall is no longer open to the public (i.e. those without a paid guide who don't want to hike for hours), the road there is very scenic. I couldn't imagine going to Molokai and not taking this drive - you never know if you will... More

The views of this valley and the waterfall are stunning but the drive is a little scary. The highway winds through cliffs down to single lanes with no guard rails and many of these points are around blind curves.

Unfortunately, we did not have the opportunity to take a tour, but the drive is well worth the time even if one is staying on the west side. The drive, much shorter than the Road to Hana on Maui is beautiful. There are stopping places along the way to have a picnic, take photos or swim. At the end is... More

The drive to the East End of Molokai ending in Halawa has wonderful scenery. The last few miles are on a paved one lane road which gets interesting if you encounter someone coming from the other direction. Scenery along the road is spectacular. There is a pavilion near the end of the road with restrooms. The hike into Mo'oula Falls... More

While the two guides were pleasant enough, for $75 each, my partner and I were tacked on the end of a small cruise ship group, meaning there were 30 in total doing the hike. If there was any commentary, it was not able to be heard by most of the group. The walk was excruciatingly slow, as many of the... More

Being 1st in molokai's what to do, I was really looking forward to this excursion which we booked with kanani, the owner of the flower farm. While yes, most thing's ring true, the beautiful scenic drive through blind corners on the way to the valley, the gorgeous hike to the waterfall, and very nice down to earth Kanini, wife and... More

The last seven miles (mile 20 to 27) takes about 45 minutes, so allow time. The views are spectacular. It is one lane at times and blind corners. Do stop at the overlook and take a minute. We took the hike and tour with Kalani Pruet of the flower farm. DO take bug spray. The hike is beautiful along ancient... More
