Molokai Deluxe (60-65 minutes)
See the highlights of West Maui Deluxe and whale watch (in season) as you cross Pailolo channel between Maui's northwestern shore and Molokai's eastern coastline. West Maui is one of the wettest places on earth. Weather permitting, highlights include: the "Wall of Tears" with over seventeen waterfalls flowing at once; Maui's tallest waterfall, Honokohau Falls, with over 1,100 ft drop. View the resorts of Kapalua and Kaanapali. Soar above Hawaii's tallest waterfalls (including the 1,750 ft Kahiwa Falls) along Molokai's remote and isolated north shore. Gigantic sea cliffs, the tallest in the world will awe you. Discover Halawa Valley with 2 large and beautiful waterfalls flowing down the mountains. View Molokai's Kalaupapa Peninsula, which for years has been home to people suffering from Hansen's disease (leprosy) and see Father Damien's monument. Not many visitors see Molokai and it is Ross's favorite tour.
Flight Includes: Ground briefing, complimentary coffee, personally narrated tour, air-conditioning, choreographed CD music through rich stereophonic headsets with volume control. You may purchase the pilot-narrated video of your actual flight on DVD.
