My husband and I saw the cliffs from the Kalaupapa Overlook, we saw them as we rode the mules to and from the former leper colony, we saw them during the tour, and a few days later we hiked west from the Kalaupapa Overlook for different views. All were spectacularly beautiful. How long you spend here depends on you, your... More

We saw this by air on the way over from Maui to Molokai and it was amazing. We then did the hike down, even more pretty. Then after it had rained, we got to see it again by air on the flight from Molokai back to Maui and it was even more pretty because all of the waterfalls were running... More

It is very narrow if you meet another car. Great views. Camping at the water's edge. More

You can’t get the full impression of the cliffs unless you see them by sea or fly over them. There is a very nice scenic overlook too. If you do the Molokai Mule Ride you get to go down them by mule! More

3rd time to the Pali coast of Molokai. Twice by land, once by sea. The place never ceases to amaze me. Absolutely stunning views you will see no where else in the world. More

The mule ride to Kalaupapa is very popular while visiting on the Island of Molokai. Instead of riding the mule, I opted to take the small plane ride from the airport in Molokai to the small airport in Kalaupapa, where we joined the group of people who had walked down or had ridden mules to visit the former leper colony....

The sea clifts are amazing to see!!! We did a sea clift tour through Molokai Fish & Dive. Included in this tour, we saw Kaulapapa, flew over the 30 mile barrier reef, saw Halawa valley, basically the whole island from the air. It was great!!! More
