people, along with stories of courage and love. You

synonymous with Kalaupapa, love for the people that
he served so diligently, until he succumbed to the
same disease as his flock. Your
personalized tour begins with the day to day life
of the people of old and those who live there now.
Notice the style of homes, the quaint post office,
general store, medical facility and the dock. Visit
original graveyards at Kalawao and St. Philomena.
This church was built by Father Damien who was
recently Beatified by the Pope. Enjoy lunch
overlooking sea cliffs and waterfalls, dramatic
ocean rock formations and crashing surf. Returning
topside is also an adventure not soon
forgotten.
