Kalaupapa: Located on the north shore of Molokai is one of
the most historic and scenic spots in all of Hawaii. Kalaupapa was home to people
afflicted with Hansen's disease during the late 1800`s and where Father Damien performed
his work. Kalaupapa is reached only by plane, boat or descending down steep
cliffs by mule ride. Palaau Park: The park is located on the upper north side of Molokai and offers a spectacular view of the Kalaupapa peninsula and the east facing cliffs. From the park you can take a short drive to the Waikolu Lookout and Kamakou Preserve. This remote area has been untouched for years and provides breathtaking views of Molokai's spectacular waterfalls and flora. Halawa Valley: Driving to the east side of the Island will bring you to the lush tropical Halawa Valley. The valley is home to the majestic waterfalls of Hipuapua and Moaula. Hiking into the valley is by permission only, but the views from the road are spectacular. After spending some time in the valley you can stop off at Halawa Bay for a quick swim and snack. Kepuhi Bay: Traveling to the west side of the island will bring you to one of Molokai's most scenic beaches, Kepuhi Bay. This is where the resort area of Kaluakoi is located and on certain evenings the glow of Oahu can be seen in the horizon. Also located on the west side is the small town of Maunaloa. The town was home to many of the workers from Dole pineapple until the company phased out its Molokai operations. Pali Coast: The towering cliffs of Molokai can only be seen by air or boat and are inaccessible by foot. The cliffs are some of the most dramatic scenery in all of Hawaii, with their waterfalls flowing to the ocean below. Tours of the Pali Cliffs are provided by several helicopter and air-tour companies making this a must do trip for the true nature enthusiast. |
