The only company allowed to give tours of Kalaupapa (site of the former leper colony) is staffed by residents of the tiny settlement. Whether you hike, fly or take a mule into Kalaupapa, a representative of Damien Tours will meet you. They lead guests on a walking tour of the settlement, pointing out historical sites, churches and natural attractions. These tours are thought to be among the most unique, thought-provoking experiences in the whole state, and are highly recommended.
