Tours and religious pilgrimages draw visitors to Kalaupapa, an isolated peninsula cut off by 2,000-foot (600-meter) cliffs. Right now, travel to the area is only allowed by plane, Kalaupapa National Historical Park said in a statement. Hawaii banished leprosy patients to Kalaupapa for over a century, starting in 1866 during Hawaiian Kingdom rule. Their privacy means guided tours are the only way visitors may travel to Kalaupapa. Seawind Tours & Travel will operate the tours on Watanuki’s behalf, CEO Randy King said.
