Molokai Mule Ride

My wife and I took this trip with a little apprehension. We had heard stories of how steep the trail was and I was worried my wife would get off her mule and walk. The guides were very reassuring and watchful over us, my wife did just fine and we enjoyed a spectacular and beautiful trip down the mountain trail. The tour of Kalaupapa and the area gives me great respect for the history of the area. Very grateful this mule ride service is available.

We flew into Kalaupapa because the trail is closed to hikers and mules due to rock slides. Flying is the only way to get in and see where Father Damian helped those afflicted by Hansen’s disease (leprosy) It’s a 5 min flight .We had a very passionate tour guide today who works on Fridays. We absolutely loved the tour, site seeing and guide. Lots of history ! Not for little kids. Need to be 16 years or older, no exceptions. I recommend bringing snacks to get you through the day. Once in a life time event worth the money. It was cold and we did not dress properly. Wear layers !

What an incredible experience, I'd give this more than 5 stars if I could! Everything from the incredible views, the friendly and knowledgeable guides, the dependability of the mules and the history of of Kalaupapa was amazing. My husband and I were a bit concerned at first when we saw how steep and muddy the trail was but after about 10 minutes we truly learned to trust the mules, they knew exactly what they were doing! My arm was a bit sore the next day from holding on so tight but not bad at all. I would definitely recommend this ride to anyone, it was the highlight of our trip to Molokai!

Must do if you are in Molokai-book early on line or call directly. This company is very knowledgeable about the history of Kalaupapa & the mules are amazing! We (family of 4) were never worried or scared going up & down this amazing ride. The mules are sure-footed and boy, do they work hard hauling us! Glad we rode the mules instead of hiking. This is a once in a lifetime experience and totally well worth it. Scenery is quite amazing.

The mule ride down offers plenty of breathtaking views! The history of the kualapapa area is incredible!

I lived there for about 4months awesome place and people.

We purchased the hiking tickets and loved it. However, the tour was... unconventional. It didn't cover much history of kalaupapa, instead it seemed more like a sermon filled with personal anecdotes of the guide. The hike back up left us sore for a few days after.
