When we think about Hawaii we generally envision golden sand beaches reaching into the Pacific Ocean. Usually sea cliffs don’t immediately come to mind, but Hawaii is blessed with some stunning sea cliffs on each of the major islands, but Molokai’s sea cliffs are the tallest and most dramatic of them all . These velvet green cliffs along the North Coast of Molokai stand at just over 3,000 feet. They are arguably the tallest sea cliffs in the world
Here are some suggestions for how you can see Molokai’s amazingly tall cliffs:
- You can catch a glimpse of Molokai’s sea cliffs from Palaau State Park
- You can visit the Kalaupapa National Historic Park by plane or by mule ride. From there, you can see the cliffs from sea level and admire how high they soar.
- You can take a helicopter tour from Maui.
