Wharf to to Kalaupapa Lookout
Light trail hike (roughly 3 minutes) through ironwood forestry where you'll enjoy a phenomenal view of Kalaupapa Peninsula. In the 1850's when Hansen's disease, formerly known as Leprosy, swept through the Hawaiian Isles the worst cases were sent to this isolated peninsula. In 1873 Father Damien arrived and was revered for his infinite love for the residents of Kalaupapa. Take another hike to see the phallic rock as an added attraction.
Kalaupapa Lookaout to Purdy's Macadamia Nut Farm Purdy's Mac Nuts are "all natural". Tuddie Purdy invites you into his orchard educating and entertaining with hands on experience. Be sure to take advantage of all samples offered and 'talk story' with Purdy himself. Opt to purchase honey and nuts.

Hotel Molokai to St. Joseph Church
St. Joseph Church is the only church built by Father Damien in the state of Hawaii that is still in its original condition. As you look at the church, you will be seeing all of the other churches Father Damien built, as they were all the same size and with the same features. The original confession booth, Flemish ceilings and life size statue of him are on site.
St. Joseph Church to Kaunakakai Town (only if time allows) Kaunakakai is a quaint, two block city and is the main city on Molokai.
