My husband and I did the hike and tour of the Lepers Colony. It took us just a little over an hour to hike down. Going down hill was very easy and the scenery were breathtaking. We left the parking lot at around 8 am to beat the mules, so waited for about 45 minutes for the group that took... More

There are some many elements to my experience, and several different places on tripadvisor to potentially report it, so it is unclear where it should be, but I'm putting it here. Kalaupapa is an awesome scenic location at the base of sheer cliffs. We flew in and out, which gave us an even better view of the steep cliffs which... More

I booked a trip to Molokai and Kalaupapa (the Leper Colony). Because children cannot go to the colony, I stayed in Maui with my child, while my husband & parents went. My parents are in their 70's, so hiking and muling down to the colony weren't an option. We were convinced by Clare, the owner, to book the "SCENIC AIR... More

We were trying to figure out how to get to the Damien tour on Kalaupapa Molokai. We were staying in Kapalua Maui. Clare from Molokai Outdoors was superb. She put together a scenic flight through Iolani air and a package tour for us that was awesome.They even picked us up at the Kapalua airport which was really close to us!... More

I work as a stock photographer for barefoottours.com and they recently sent me on this tour. We flew in from the Kapalua airport on Maui on a small plane and landed on the Kalaupapa peninsula and then got on a bus for the tour around the settlement. I got some great pictures and am personally a history buff so I... More

This experience was awesome! So we started the day hiking down to the bottom of the cliff to Kalaupapa. Let me warn you, if you’re on vacation and trying to relax, do not attempt. My legs hurt for maybe 12 days. It was bad. We could hardly walk the next few days. If you can afford to avoid this pain,... More

A wonderful and humbling experience to hear about St Damien and the people of Molokai. Our tour guide Norman was an exceptional person. His stories and knowledge of the town made you want to read more about this place. Due to the rains in Apr 2010, we were not allowed to travel to the area by mule-ride. The tour company... More

You can fly in, hike in or the most popular is taking the mule ride down into the former leprosy colony. (Hansen’s disease) The worst part was making the reservation, we called and asked questions about all three alternatives, and the islander’s phone etiquette is different, very abrasive. We decided to hike down; we have hiked many different strenuous locations.... More

I have been to Kalaupapa, Molokai countless times and I have always enjoyed the beauty of the high cliffs, the salty scent on the breeze, and the sadness of the history. I have had the privilege to go on many tours with the late Mr. Richard Marks – who is the owner of Damien tours along with his wife –... More
