Kalaupapa Discovery Air and Ground Tour- Maui Departure

Come experience an amazing aerial adventure to the island of Molokai. Your journey begins with a short flight across the Pailolo Channel to the island known as the “friendly isle.” Witness the magnificent towering Sea Cliffs, the largest in the world. Get a glimpse of waterfalls, valleys and the historical Kalaupapa Peninsula by air before descending into the settlement, rich in history and with an amazing story to tell.
After Landing, you will be taken on a guided tour of Kalaupapa Settlement. From there you will take a tour of the island, Hawaiian style, and walk in the footprints of the Blessed Father Damien. Your tour guides have a rich knowledge of the history and life of Father Damien and the people he helped.
Our Kalaupapa Day Tour takes you on a spiritual adventure that will make you feel as if Father Damien himself is standing beside you. Our tour is a celebration of Father Damien’s life and his commitment to those suffering from leprosy during the late 1800s’, and the recognition the Catholic Church has bestowed upon him with his canonization to Saint-hood on October 11, 2009.
The entire trip is an enlightening and emotional experience. The dramatic scenery of Kalawao is breath taking and the simplicity of the church and it’s setting, inspiring. It is therefore easy to get caught up in the story of Father Damien and his cause, which in the end, was his demise. A day in Kalaupapa is an experience of a life time.
As you return to Maui, you will fly along the southern coast of the island, home to the most extensive coral reefs in the Hawaiian Islands. As you cross back to West Maui, you can see Lanai to the south, and the coastal resorts areas along the western coast of Maui.
