The World's 12 Highest Waterfalls: Nature's Most Spectacular Drops

8. Pu’uka’oku Falls (Hawaii, USA) – 840 meters (2,756 feet)

Located on Molokai’s remote coastline, Pu’uka’oku Falls is a neighboring wonder to Olo’upena Falls. This breathtaking waterfall cascades down the world’s tallest sea cliffs, making it a dramatic yet delicate spectacle. Like its counterpart, Pu’uka’oku Falls is visible only by air or sea, adding an air of exclusivity to its beauty. The falls are fed by rainfall and high-altitude springs, creating a slender, ribbon-like stream that gracefully follows the contours of the cliff face. Molokai’s untouched environment, coupled with its lack of commercial tourism, ensures that Pu’uka’oku Falls remains a pristine marvel. Visitors fortunate enough to witness it are treated to a spectacle of natural wonder framed by the turquoise waters of the Pacific and the lush greenery of Hawaii’s landscapes.
