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… Full review by couplessPS

Will be in Honolulu from Sept. 10-13, on either side of a day trip to Midway Island with a military tour group. Both of us (a retired public health nurse and a doctor) have had experience with Hansen's Disease patients and wish to visit Father Damien's historic site. We can do it either as a day trip from Honolulu, if possible, or could stay a night or two in Molokai if there are nice accommodations and perhaps other things to do. Cost and time are not a problem. Your recommendations? Thanks.,

I think Molokai is still on quarantine, you should check that out. The only way to go to Kalaupapa is if you book it thru a tour co. It is a day trip. The only motel on the island is Hotel Molokai. When I ate lunch there I did notice they had a tour co.Thru them.. I think this would be your best bet to contact them. . I know they can also provide transportation From airport if you don’t have rental car. There is also the church on topside Father Damien built. Good Luck❤️
Do you now book a tour through the Kalaupapa Historical national park? We're having a very difficult time figuring things out. We're flying to Maui in April and would like to tour the Park and spend a few days exploring Molokai. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi! Try the mule ride website (cannot post it here) but book the fly-in tour (assuming trail is still not an option or one you’d want to do). You’ll need to purchase flights separately but Lori Ann with the tour will tell you what time your flights need to arrive and depart. Try Mokulele or Makani Air for flights.
Does anyone happen to know if they plan to repair the washed out bridge/trail used on the mule ride up and down? Would love to do both the mule ride and tour the area as well. Any insight about future development or is the flight only the new normal? Thanks! Laura

I was told that the goal is to have repairs done and trail re-opening by January 2020. Crossing fingers.
Hi, my wife and I will be staying on Molokai from November 5th to 8th. We would like to visit Kalaupapa and take a tour, but it seems very difficult to find accurate information on how to visit. We would like to fly, the mule ride or hiking down is not an option. Can anyone offer any advice and a rough idea of cost? Thanks

Hello! We visited Kalaupapa from Molokai a few weeks ago. I called Kalaupapa National Park and booked both my flight and tour through the park. They were very helpful. I don’t recall the exact cost. It was worth every penny! It is an incredible place full of beauty, history, and spirit. Enjoy!

Unfortunately, you will not be able to hike the Kalaupapa trail to the old leper colony as there was a landslide late in December 2018 or early in January 2019 that destroyed a bridge on the trail and there is no way to get in. The trail is blocked off at the road entrance. The only way to get is by helicopter or fixed wing plane.
