Papalaua Falls is an impressive 1200ft waterfall (though I have seen one claim it's 1700ft) sitting on the rugged and steep north shore of Molokai. I've been on two different helicopter rides over a span of four years that have visited this particular waterfall. So that seems to suggest that this one can be reliably seen. And of course it doesn't hurt that it's just a spectacular and breathtaking waterfall. It's.There has been a bit of misinformation floating around, and I witnessed this firsthand when our latest helicopter tour over West Maui and Molokai perpetuated false claims that this is Kahiwa Falls. I knew this wasn't correct based on the topo maps, but I have to wonder how many other unsubstantiated claims are floating around out there given that few people could test those claims with a combination of field observations and maps; especially considering how remote the north shore of Molokai is. Anyways, as far as I'm concerned, this is pretty much a helicopter waterfall unless you're one of the few folks who can boat to this part of Moloka'i. And even if you do go on a chopper ride, seeing all the major waterfalls (including this one) on such a tour is far from guaranteed.
