Kalaupapa Peninsula Photos

Photos of the Kalaupapa Peninsula on the Hawaiian Island of Molokai

By John Fischer, About.com

There are three ways to visit the Kalaupapa Peninsula - by mule, by hiking or by small plane. The Molokai Mule Ride is the most popular and the way which my wife visited Kalaupapa. Due to a broken arm, I elected to visit by direct fly-in on Paragon Air. Whichever way you choose to visit, you will all join together for the tour with Damien Tours with whom you will visit many of the historical sites on the Kalaupapa Peninsula by bus with frequent stops.

We have compiled 127 photos of our visits to Kalaupapa. You can view all of the photos by clicking on the first photo and then using the easy navigation to each photo. The photos are also indexed on these two pages should you wish to view individual photos.
