Maui County Trip Overview
Launching from Lāna‘i, view where millennia of exposure to the natural elements of wind, wave, and rain have sculpted the tallest sea cliffs in the world. Touch down at our exclusive Molokai Lookout and slow down to “Molokai time”. The expanse of the Kalaupapa Peninsula nestles 600 feet below at the foot of the cliffs. This landing is a special opportunity to grasp how the unique history of Kalaupapa is intimately tied to the isolation of its landscape. It was on this remote finger that over 8,000 people were sentenced to live and die due to leprosy. Now a National Park, Kalaupapa is a monument to the strength of the human spirit illustrated time and again by these brave souls and by the immense compassion of the people who were compelled to help them. After crossing by the historical town of Kalaupapa, you will view northern and eastern Lāna‘i – including Kānepu‘u dryland forest preserve, Keahiakawelo (the “Garden of the Gods”), Polihua, and long, sandy beaches.
