The overlook is a short drive from town or the airport. If you visit during whale season you can see whales breaching in the bay - it's pretty cool to see. Don't expect to see views of all the cliffs; you'll need to be on a plane for that. The overlook will just give you glimpse of the cliffs.

We drove up here twice from town. The first time it was rainy and the clouds prevented us from seeing anything. The second time it was a clear day, and we had an outstanding view of the peninsula. Definitely worth the short drive.

A drive to the end of the road overlooking the northern side of Molokai is well worth the drive. A short walk down a wooded path leads to the overview, where you are able to see Kalapapa, the protected area used for many years to provide a residence for those suffering from Hansen's Disease. The view of the small village, crashing waves, & cliffs is amazing. Along the lava stone wall at the edge of the overlook are a number of plaques explaining the history of Kalapapa & information about the people involved, such as Father Damian.

We were lucky to be there on a clear day. The view was beautiful. There were several informative plaques near the lookout that explained the history of the peninsula.We were interested in flying down to the peninsula and hiking back up. But, unfortunately, there were no flights on Mondays. Our knees were reluctant to climb down to the peninsula. It was a pity because we did not have another day to do it.

A short walk on a good, smooth, paved path takes one to the overlook. A series of signs is embedded in the rock retaining wall & offers brief explanations about Father Damien and his dedication to sufferer's of what's now known as Hansen's Disease. This is a must see attraction to learn about an important aspect of Molokai's history.

We flew over for the day from Maui, and rented a jeep so that we could get an overview of the island. I really wanted to take the donkeys down to Kalaupapa, but you really can’t do that on a one day trip as they leave early in the morning. I had read the book “Moloka’i “ by Alan Brennert (an excellent read about a young Hawaiian girl who contracts Hansen’s Disease and is sent to the leper colony at Kalaupapa) and wanted to see the places that were talked about in the book. This overlook is the closest that I would get to Kalaupapa on this visit, and I could see many of the places discussed in the book. What is unfortunately missing is the full view of the cliffs….the tallest in the world that must be quite impressive from down on the peninsula looking back up. These cliffs helped to form a natural barrier to keep the people from leaving, along with the rough ocean. So sad.This attraction has ample paved parking and a bathroom and drinking fountain.

My trip to Molokai was rendered less than perfect by a thick rain cloud that enveloped the island not long after I arrived. Thus there was no view at all. I did however see a nene and that was cool.

As we have a three year old child, we were not able to go to Kalaupapa, so we went to Kalaupapa Overlook instead. After a short walk from the car park, we found this beautiful lookout. This is a must see in Molokai.

The overlook is at the end of highway 470 and affords a beautiful overlook view of Kalaupapa and the peninsula which housed Hawaii's famous/infamous leper colony. It is accessible only by mule, boat or small aircraft. There are plaques at the top outlining the history of the colony.

The overlook can be reached with a simple walk. WELL worth the walk. Loved the views & even the walkway to the overlook was scenic and enjoyable.
