I learned so much from the pre-hike talk, and am glad I did this before other touristy things in the other islands. Greg and Devak were so kind to share their land, food, knowledge and family with us. The hike itself is around 3 miles each way, and the toughest parts were the river crossings. Pro-tip, wear shoes in the river, even if it means hiking with wet shoes the rest of the way.
This is a great way to get immersed in real Hawaiian culture, I highly recommend it as a top thing to do.

Beautiful valley, and breathtaking scenery on the winding drive there. *Note: the drive is definitely not as twist/turn as “the road to hana” but it is up and down cliffs and mountainside much of the way, on a narrow road, some parts are one lane. The views on the way to the valley are just as beautiful as the valley and enormous waterfall itself. We did not have a hiking tour, and were disappointed we didn’t arrange for this in advance. Nevertheless we enjoyed our time and appreciated the beautiful valley and chilled on the beach for a bit. There are public bathrooms (decent enough) which was nice after the 45+min drive. Would recommend.

The drive is very difficult and you tube videos we watched ahead of time made it seem a better destination than it really is so don’t be fooled by the you tubers who like to put out click bait. Small rocky beaches and brownish sand with no amenities. Any hiking in area is on private property so you need a local guide to arrange ahead of time. Disappointing.

We went there today with our two kids and we walk around the beach, my husband went back to the car to get something for our kids and 3 locals guys who leave there in the tents physical attack my husband without any reason in front of me and my kids be aware there is not signal there to call the police if something happens, this was a really bad experience and traumatize our kids with this people behavior, luckily we ran out to our car and leave.

One of the highlights of my 2-week stay in Molokai. Starts with an interesting hour-long discussion about the history and culture of Hawaii, Molokai and Hālawa Valley. Fascinating. Learned a lot. The hike was moderate but not easy—had to navigate over and under fallen trees and over streams. Be sure to bring good hiking and water shoes. The highlight of the day were the waterfalls and the swimming hole—brace yourself for chilly water! Acclimated quickly. The drive to and from Halawa was a treat unto itself — narrow, winding road along the cliff with outstanding views. Halawa Valley Beach itself was not as nice as Murphy Beach (mile post 20) or Sandy Beach (about two miles further east), which you pass along the way. Even though the guides charge $75/person, I highly recommend — the trail and waterfalls are on private property so you can’t do it on your own.

An incredibly enriching experience in every way. Your guide will take you on an enthralling journey of history and adventure, beauty and meaning. This is a profoundly moving and soul-filling place.

The pre trip talk before hiking to the falls was a great way to get immersed to the local lore and history. First time eating a Hawaiian banana from the tree and starfruit. Great hike and swim at the falls. Guide was excellent and very helpful.

Halawa Valley Cultural Tour
This is my favorite thing that I have done across three trips to the Big Island, Oahu, Maui, Kauai and Molokai.
Our tour was led by Greg, whose family has a long history in the valley. The hike is beautiful, but the real meat is all of Greg's knowledge about the history and traditional lifeways in the valley and how and why they have changed over time. He comes at things with a frankness, humility and grace that made the whole experience very impactful. This tour will provide you with an opportunity to gain a fuller understanding of Hawaiian culture and probably correct some of your misconceptions about it. I cannot recommend the cultural tour highly enough and I would absolutely schedule my visit to the island around its availability.
The actual hike to the waterfall goes through a forest full of wild fruit and other tropical trees that have grown up on the remains of ancient terraces that were built when the valley was completely open. There is a pool at the base of the waterfall that you can swim in if you choose to, but it is totally worth the walk even if you don't get in. The hike itself is a little bit hard to categorize in terms of difficulty. The total distance is about 3.5 miles with about 600-700 feet of elevation gain, which would make it moderate by the formula the National Park Service uses. However, there are two stream crossings, several logs to climb over and under, and a good amount of uneven footing throughout. So, if you are unaccustomed to hiking or have any balance issues I would classify it as difficult and encourage you to make an honest self-assessment of your ability level. Hiking sandals are the ideal footwear for this hike -- something that can get wet but has a tough sole with some traction.
If you aren't taking a tour -- even though you absolutely should -- you can still drive down to Halawa Park at the bottom of the Valley (more on the drive below), but you won't be able to go any further as the entire valley is privately owned. I've seen write-ups online of people continuing on without a guide, but just...don't. The cultural tour was the highlight of my visit and trespassing to avoid it would be both disrespectful and pretty crappy.
The drive down into the valley is also quite beautiful. As mentioned in several other reviews, the last ten miles are narrow and winding. If you are accustomed only to city driving, it can seem daunting but it is also very doable if you give yourself adequate time, go slowly and use common sense. The entire road is paved and for much of it there is adequate room for two vehicles to pass if you are cautious. Plus, most of the (very few) other drivers you are likely to encounter are locals used to negotiating the road, so if you defer to their experience (or better yet, are able to get behind and follow one of them) you shouldn't have any serious issues. Put another way, I would take this drive 100 times out of 100 over the road to Hana. Just go slow, pay attention, and defer to the locals.
Overall, this was an amazing experience and not to be missed if you are visiting Molokai.

An incredible walk between landscape & culture. Fascinating exchanges. We spent 1 month in Hawaii and it was the best visit we had. The road is fabulous to reach the east of the island. And meeting Greg and his family allowed us to really understand Hawaii. We learned about the culture, the history, the plants, we even tasted some very good unknown fruits. The walk is easy and done in very small groups. If there's one thing to do in Molokai, it's Halawa Valley with Greg :-) Thanks!

The drive is beautiful but dangerous as the last 10 miles or so is single lane with many turns. The park had very little parking. Also we could not see the falls as the guides were not working that day.

What level of fitness is required for the hike to the falls?
Escrita el 15 de febrero de 2019
We didn't do it as it was raining the day we went out there, but I would say mid level fitness. We are physically fit but don't work out to stay in shape. We saw some people of all types and sizes hiking from the morning tour . Sorry I'm so late to answer.

Someone stated the father and son talked for a long time, two to three hours about the history of the islands. This person wrote because of rain their hike was cancelled until the next day. Was wondering if that was the reason the information session lasted so long or was the long information session the usual?

My impression from our greeter and out guide is that they are VERY proud of their heritage and culture. They seemed quite happy to share it with us and answer any questions that we had. However, I did get the sense that not all of the guides and groups that offer this hike have the same feeling or knowledge. Our greeter was likely the one you mention as we did walk to their house & observe a greeting ceremony with our guide, the greeter and his father. As we hiked, our guide was great and answered ALL the questions my 14 year old, very inquisitive son could ask. It was great, but may depend on who you get. We booked our hike through the shop in town, but search Halawa valley Molokai

There seem to be a lot of alternatives for guides - why do you recommend Eddie Tanaka, as opposed to the Solotorio family? And should we take water shoes of some sort to cross the rivers?
Thanks

We learned that if you try to walk in on your own, the owner stops you and charges you the fee.
A real highway robber ! He owns the land.
We drove to the end of the road and enjoyed lovely view up River to the fall. The shoreline is very lovely there, also.
