Wind your way down a three-mile switchback trail from the top of the world's highest sea cliffs (1,700 feet) to the historic Kalaupapa peninsula on an amiable, sure-footed mule. Since the mid-1800s the site on the North Shore has been home to people with Hansen's disease, or leprosy. It was made famous by Belgian priest Father Damien, who served the outcasts in the remote colony and died of the disease. The seven-and a-half hour (7:50am-3:15pm) guided mule tour includes a picnic lunch, all permits and a tour of Kalaupapa National Historical Park. Package tours from Maui and Honolulu including airfare are also available. Minimum age 16 years or older.
