Cosa dicono le persone
“1700' elevation loss and gain with 26 switchbacks”
lug 2017
Questo è stato un viaggio molto interessante vedere il lavoro di Padre Damien tra i pazienti del morbo di Hansen. Abbiamo camminato lungo il sentiero con bellissime viste sulla valle sottostante e partecipato al tour educativo delle strutture con una guida in un van. La corsa mulattiera che era stato temporaneamente chiuso dalle NPS a causa di un recente incidente così alcuni del gruppo ha optato per un'escursione verso il basso ma volare fino a 10 posti un aereo.
“Worth the wait”
lug 2017
La gita è stata istruttiva, ma se dovete prendere il volo in - volare versione da Oahu, potrai trascorrere tutto il tempo in attesa in aeroporto in quanto si spende per il tour. Inoltre, nota che il Padre Damien Tours non controllare i posti a sedere sull'aereo per e da Oahu e Moloki. Ci hanno prenotato è con una compagnia aerea. Così, nonostante la " - verde posti " indicazione disponibile sul loro sito web, che non è necessariamente vero. Abbiamo dovuto cambiare i nostri giorni quando Padre Damien Tours non poteva farci arrivare su un volo per la nostra data richiesta. Si tratta di un posto importante nella nostra storia vale la pena visitare, ma potrebbe essere fatto meglio con un piccolo sforzo da parte degli organizzatori.

If you can't go visit the colony you can see it from this park vista
dic 2020
Gorgeous area- many twists and blind turns on the highway to get to a place that we could look down on it. That park was deserted when we got there, but there was no way to get to the colony at that time so this was the best we could do. The lookout had many useful historical explanations along the walk way where the view was. Wish we could have visited but you can read the other reviews to see that it is not so easy to do that. So, if you just want a look down, go to the park that will let you get a glimpse of what was, and what is.

History way off the beaten path
feb 2020
Kalaupapa - the leper colony - Fr Damien. Kalaupapa National Historical Park is now run by the National Park Service. It occupies a small 3 mile by 3 mile peninsula on the north shore of Molokai. Access today is only by the small planes operated by a couple local airlines. Note: There used to be access by a guided mule trail down the cliffs, but the trail has been closed for some time due to rock slides. Your flight must be coordinated with a tour guide in Kalaupapa who will get the permits necessary to visit. Otherwise you will not be allowed to leave the airport property. The Historical Park preserves the living community where people were banished to live apart from the rest of the world with leprosy, now called Hansen's disease. The cure for Hansen's disease was found in the 1940, but many of the residents elected to continue to live on their peninsula. Six still live there, aged 78 to 96. Touring the area will take you through the town of Kalaupapa, the original settlement area of Kalawao, and past the original churches still standing. The cemetery holds the tomb of Fr Damien, the priest who came to minister to the patients, and ended up dying of the disease. All the while you are there you can look to the south and see the sea cliffs that cut the peninsula off from the rest of the island, called topside. These sea cliffs are the highest in the world. I can see why being made to live there was referred to as the most beautiful prison in the world. What an interesting glimpse into history.

Wonderful
feb 2020
This was the highlight of my recent month long vacation in Molokai! Our guide, booked thru the mule ride co., was so friendly. Only 3 people on my tour. I don’t know why so few. It is a little expensive, $250.00 per person to fly in & to take the tour, but so worth the price! I read the book “Molokai” before I came so I could relate to all of the stops we made. The sea cliffs are magnificent! If you do go & are susceptible to bug bites don’t forget insect spray!

Tour? History! Pilgrimage!! Even more!!!
gen 2020
Here on this remote place on the north shore of Molokai were sent those who contracted leprosy, what is now called Hansen's disease. For 103 years people were exiled here for life!
That is the history part.
Now the tour:
Once you set foot on this "sacred piece of land" you can feel in your bones the cries coming from the very ground you stand on. there are over 8,000 graves and each has a story.
Next came a pilgrimage:
Visiting the graves of Saints Damien and Marianne Cope and others who have given their lives to better those who were rejected and suffered isolation in the midst of their agony, was a spiritual event!
This is now a National Park in order to preserve this piece of American history. There are still a few who were sent here living and through the parks department maintaining their culture.
I have come back to this special place many times. The first time is what got my attention. It is unique.

Worthwhile history lesson
gen 2020
A bucket wish list - so emotional seeing the graves and thinking of all the people discarded like worthless human beings. Spending the day in this beautiful but sad historical place was a privilege. Our guide was so enthusiastic and had a singing voice that was beautiful to listen to.Can't say enough about this tour. Totally awesome!!

The most fascinating/captivating/sorrowful/beautiful tour I've ever taken!
dic 2019
My husband and I were fortunate enough to see the park through the Saints Damien and Marianne Cope Molokai Tours LLC. Learned so much history about this little peninsula--from the geological formation, how the leper colony came to be (from a Hawaiian Cultural perspective to the geographical importance), to the religious histories of Saints Damien and Marianne Cope. It was a truly amazing day and a truly miraculous place! You feel the sorrow of what it was like to be a "patient" in such an isolated but beautiful place. You also learn the rules there today--it is still home to a few remaining "patients". John M. was our wonderful tour guide. He was very knowledgeable and respectful of the history and the patients. The tour took about 4-5 hours from arrival at Kalaupapa airport. Part of the tour was given by one of the Sisters of St. Francis (Sr. Barbara Jean), but John guided us through to the very end (when our plane arrived to take us back to the other airport near Kaunakakai)! The flight on Mokuele airlines was only 10 minutes (each way, but bumpy b/c of the winds). We felt blessed to be able to experience the tour, as now to take the tour you have to get approval from the park or be invited by one of the patients to tour the place. There is no longer a mule ride as the trail down to the park was washed away in 2018. When we were there, the weather went from sunny and warm to windy with showers. I'd bring a light rain jacket, hiking shoes and a camera. I highly recommend this tour!

Don't miss this jewel of history of the lepers and Father Damien.
ott 2019
Because the mule trail not operating as the bridge is washed out, I flew into Kalaupapa. The tour was so amazing and our Guide Rick Schonely has such a love of this place and the people that we could have easily spent days with him. I will be forever changed after visiting this place! Be sure to go! Hopefully, the bridge will be fixed and you can go on the mules, for your visit.

Kalaupapa Tour - Amazing Experience
set 2019 • Amici
Best day excursion from Maui that we made. The only way into Kalaupapa at this time is by air (we used Mokulele - see separate review) and with a permit, as there are still a few residents (eight as of writing) living there. We secured our permit through a tour company, which means we had a guided tour - I don’t know how one would see the place without a tour as there are no cars to rent and no other way to readily traverse the area. The tour guide infused a lot of personal “historical” narrative into the tour, focusing fairly little on the experience of the people with Hansen’s Disease who were sent to the settlement, but we knew a lot about the history already and thus were prepared to look for certain things. Sitting in the church of Father Damien and Mother Marianne (both now saints) was pretty special. Lunch at the seaside cliffs was too. All in all, an incredible experience - heartbreaking but beautiful.

Breathtaking tour of a sacred space
ago 2019 • Coppie
This tour was a highlight of our Moloka’i vacation. We wanted to see where Fr. Damien lived and worked. At this time, a landslide has the trail closed, so one must fly in. We booked flight and tour through the national park.

There is so much sacred history here, and our tour guide, Rick, was so knowledgeable and respectful of the many rich faith traditions here. (Bonus: he serenaded us with traditional music!) The tour is mostly done by bus with many stops to see the lush landscapes and historic sights.
