Kahiwa Falls

Kahiwa Falls is a six-tiered waterfall on Molokai’s remote north shore in Hawaii, between Wailau and Papalaua valleys, descending from steep coastal cliffs on the sea-facing side of the island. Generally visible only from offshore or the air, it has a total height of about 2,165 feet, with a main drop often given as 1,749 feet and a highest single drop of about 600 feet. In strong winds, its water can be blown upward, making the falls appear to rise. Its great height, isolation, and dramatic setting have made it one of Hawaii’s most impressive waterfalls.
