First of all, when we booked the tour we wanted to go on the tour that went to the flower farm and have the smoothie at the end and we could not figure out how to book that. We sent emails to both Molokai Fish and Dive- who never even replied and to Hotel Molokai who said well the tour... More

I scheduled our visit and hike directly with Kalani Pruett at molokaiflowers.com. It is less expensive than scheduling it through the Hotel or other places. The drive to the valley was exciting and delightful, especially when the road turns to 1 lane. The hike up the valley was about 1 1/2 hrs. The grade of the trail is gentle. There... More

My husband and I went to the Halawa Valley twice. The first time he drove, the 2nd time I drove. You could end your journey at the magnificent valley overlook as tour buses/vans do, and I am sure some drivers do. Please don't. The last 8 miles of the road to the valley floor makes the road to Hana look... More

This is truly a unique Hawaiian experience...from the meeting at the park in Halawa to the Hawaiian chant and greeting at the home of Anakala Pilipo Solatorio this was a cultural experience. Anakala told us the story of the valley, the tsunamis of 1946 and 1957 and the changes he had seen in the valley from the perspective of the... More

There are several guides who will take you up the Halawa Valley to Halawa Falls. Kelani is excellent. Very relaxed, friendly and informed plus the most reasonably priced so leave him a generous tip. Plus you get the added bonus of a tour of his flower farm and free tropical fruit and/or a smoothie. Be prepared for a 1.5 hour... More

If you are an explorer, enjoy driving narrow winding roads to the ends of the earth this is a trip for you. The beach area at the bottom is gorgeous, wish we had brought our suits. There are a few negative reviews concerning the hike to the falls. We didn't do the hike. You can see it from several vantage... More

We were privileged to experience the Halawa Valley with Kalani Pruett and it was an incredible journey. We were with one other couple in our age group, 60 plus, and Kalani's patience with our speed and ability was perfect. Kalani shared his extensive knowledge and passion for the land as we progressed up the trail. We knew what accomplished navigators... More

A spectacular drive to a beautiful beach. Wish we had taken suits to swim. There were surfers even in the drizzling weather. More

We made the beautiful drive to the remote north eastern corner of Molokai for a hike to Halawa Falls we arranged with Kalani Pruet of Halawa Tropical Flower Farm. Kalani's 13-year old son and his dog actually led our little group of 6 on the hike to the falls! Then Kalani showed us all around the farm and made us... More

My husband and I visited Moloka'i for the day via ferry from Lahaina and thoroughly enjoyed our time there. It was on Moloka'i that we felt that we could completely relax... The coastal drive to Halawa Valley was absolutely beautiful the Valley was just gorgeous. It's definitely a 'must visit' while on Moloka'i. More
