Doing what: Kalaupapa and Molokai Day Trip from Oahu

The trip was not exactly what I expected. We spent half the day just waiting - we were the first to arrive in Molokai and then had to wait for the plane to go pick up others on the Island then we waited some more for those who rode the mules down the mountain. When our tour actually began we were loaded into an OLD school bus which broke down and so we waited again while a couple of people tried to fix it before someone came along and gave our driver a ride to go get another OLD school bus. The tour of the Leper Colony and Molokai was probably only about 90 min as much of it has burnt down. Then we were dropped back off at the airport where we waited again for the pilot to take others back to their location and then return for us. Out of an 10 hour day, we received a 90 min tour.

Doing what: Kalaupapa and Molokai Day Trip from Oahu

The tour of Kalaupapa was wonderful and we would recommend it. However, we were dropped at the airport in Kalaupapa at 9am and we were not briefed about what to expect. Our group was alone at the airport until the tour guide showed up at 10am. Apparently that is the usual pick-up time because the tour waits for hikers from top-side Molokai. Some information about that would have been helpful.

Beautiful views and sights, with a knowledgable pilot. We brought our 8 and 11 year old daughters and they loved it, as did we.

A very interesting and enjoyable trip, start to finish. You will learn a lot about the history of Molokai on this venture! Scenery is beautiful as well.

really great experience, one of the best things we did during our vacation

Doing what: Kalaupapa and Molokai Day Trip from Oahu

There was too much "downtime," When we arrived at the little Molokai airport at not quite 9:00 a.m., we were told the tour would not begin until 10:00. By 10:30, we were still waiting, and got picked up sometime after that. The nearest we could figure out is that the mule driver (who was also our tour guide) had to bring the mule riders down first (they were already on the school bus when we were picked up and participated in our tour). The tour itself was very nice, but when we were brought back to the airfield, we had to wait another two hours for our return flight to Oahu. Mind you, we were in the middle of nowhere so its not like we could browse through town. The trip was supposed to have been 6 hours, but we were gone for 9 hours. Unexceptable and not up to Viator standards! We have been all over Europe with Viator trips and have NEVER experienced this.

It was everything I could have hoped for - and more. The flight over was smooth, the pilot gracious, and the tour operator at Kalapaupapa very knowledgeable and engaging. I would certainly recommend this trip to others.

Great views, and an excellent pilot, who obviously knows the area and gives lots of information. Well organised and punctual. Highly recommended.

Doing what: Kalaupapa and Molokai Day Trip from Oahu

We were at least an hour late in taking off because the pilot hadn't fueled the plane and because of a couple of other problems. Since we were on a tight schedule, the trip was partially spoiled for us because of worrying about getting back on time.

The tour around the peninsula of Molokai was very nice. We got a lot of history of the leper colony and walked in the footsteps of the unfortunate people who were forced to live there.

We did get back to Oahu on time although we had to wait again on Molokai for our pilot to show up and then for him to deliver a couple to the upper part of the island.

The views were breathtaking and well worth it!
The tour guide however was was too touristy and boring... Rather than being informative about the island and its culture it was as cheap advertisement for sites nd restaurants etc.
Could have and should have been better!
