Kalaupapa Overlook, Hawaii, United States

4.5 (158 reviews) Spent < 1 hour Ranking #1 in Molokai Points of Interest & Landmarks

A view one never tires of

I live 2 miles from this overlook and never tire of walking up to it to see it. It is different every time depending on the weather, the light, the time of day. When you realize how isolated this peninsula is from the rest of the world, it also hits home as to what people had to endure when banished to this place.

    Great view and nice little park at the end of the road.
    We took a nice and short walk to the overlook to see the village below and it was a super clear day and great view of Kalaupapa village. The hiking trail down to the village has been closed due to a landslide and is inaccessible. We really wanted to hike down to the village, but it is off limits.

    Go on a clear day.
    You will want to go on a clear day to get a good view from this lookout. There is lots of parking and a well maintained paved path a very short walk to the look out. There is a rock wall along the clif so a seated person in a wheel chair may have trouble seeing. There are very informative plaques but they are very weathered and difficult to read. Best to be informed first . A visit to the museum about a mile before the park will help to understand the leper colony which was under the lookout
