Mo'oula & Hipuapua Falls

Top choice in Moloka'i


Cascading down the back of the lush Halawa Valley are the mesmerizing twin 250ft Mo'oula and Hipuapua Falls, hidden in a rich valley and reached by a two-hour hike. When you get there you can swim in a large pool and up to the surging falls. The trail crosses private property, so visiting the falls requires a booking with a local guide – visit the website for availability.
