Moa'ula Trail & Falls

Short, Strenuous Hike to a Waterfall


Must See

Address:
Off Hwy 450
(past church in the Halawa Valley)
Halawa, HI 96748

Description

Outdoor enthusiasts will love this journey, although it's suggested that less hardy folk skip it. The trail is located in the Halawa Valley, which is a secluded part of East Molokai, and is on a piece of private property. The man who owns the property allows visitors through as long as they ask nicely when they get there and assume full responsibility for all actions. The one-hour trail leads to the base of Moa'ula Falls, a breathtaking 250-foot waterfall. The hike is not easy, and should NEVER be attempted during the rainy season. However, it's not as difficult as some of Hawaii's popular hikes, and is well worth the trek according to nature lovers. Halawa Falls Cultural Hike conducts guided tours to the falls.
