The historic settlement of Kalaupapa is located on the isolated Kalaupapa Peninsula on Molokai’s north shore, at the base of the world’s highest sea cliffs, which reach about 3,315 feet (1,010 m) into the sky. Kalaupapa is one of the most remote and inaccessible locations on Molokai. It is surrounded on three sides by high sea cliffs (the tallest in the world) and fronted by the ocean. No road leads here. The only way to get to the village is with a small propeller airplane or on foot.
