JUNE 2009

Aloha

Mahalo, for contacting us for your upcoming trip to Molokai, and helping us celebrate

10 years of business. Our island is special and quite different from the other islands. I would

like to say; we are like the raw diamond buried in the dirt and if rubbed gently, a glistening rock

will appear! That is Molokai! We have many beautiful and exciting things to offer on our island,

and if we can’t offer you what you seek, let our on island concierge service help you find a tour

to your liking with our on island partners. If you are one of those travelers, and just wants to

experience a more authentic Hawaiian island lifestyle, you may be pleasantly surprised.

Our day excursions to Molokai for 2009, we will continue to work closely with The

Lahaina Cruise Company with their day trips to Molokai that includes the Ali’i and Guided Hike

to Kalaupapa. In addition to TLCC Day trips, Molokai Outdoors is introducing the

Downwinder, which is kayaking down wind on the longest fringing reef in US waters and a mini

tour of the highlights of Molokai as a day trip. This is a one of a kind kayak trip and the new

brochure shows it all. For those that want to find something to do for your families, this is a

perfect outer island excursion where everyone is happy. This is a great adventure for you

whether you are coming over from Maui or Oahu for the day or staying on Molokai. We will also

have some new kayaks rigged for kayak fishing, if you fancy catching your evening dinner

fresh, but you will need to be the avid ocean fisherman or woman.

MOLOKAI OUTDOORS

Let us offer you some of our MOA favorites like the Island Tour, Private charters and

kayaking. These are on certain days of the week and based on availability for those on

Molokai or who want to come via plane or ferry. New for 2009 will be the Kalaupapa guided

hike or the Pilgrimage hike that starts on Molokai at 7.15 am for those hikers who are not

advanced and want history of Kalaupapa and/or make this their pilgrimage to Father Damien

and Mother Marianne. Father Damien will be made a saint in 2009 and Mother Marianne

shortly after. They will be the first and only Saints in the United States, so more this makes

Molokai such a special place. Father Damien also appeals to so many types of people and I

find this my re-grounding every time I hike the trail, which is high in the 3 digits! You can still hike

on your own and we can arrange that with Damien Tours, or you can ride the mule down the

trail, and just be staring at the views. If you are scared of heights, I would suggest hiking or

flying down. Yes, 5 minutes of fear is better than 75 mins!

Or for those coming from the outer islands and want something more than just the

day, try an overnight with either Hotel Molokai or one of the condos on island, or I do offer a

short-term room rental for those on a budget. I can help you with those arrangements.

K indle your spirit as we look forward to your visit and remember all of us involved in the

visitor industry live in our community. We are here to share and educate visitors such as you, on

why this is such a special island. We are not commercialized, and we hope that your experience

here will be one of authenticity. When you leave, we believe that you will not only understand a

little more of the culture, but I am sure a part of Molokai will find a way into your heart.

MOLOKAI OUTDOORS

Adventure awaits, whether it is to hike the trails, kayak our reef, or battle your shadow

for room at the beach. Gaze at the incredible night sky, or watch the sunrise and the setting

sun. Get lost in your world walking the beaches, swimming the coves, or staring at the blues of

the ocean. Watch the palm trees swaying in the wind, or hear the birds singing their songs.

Leisurely swing in your hammock, or watch the grasses grow. And yes, perhaps realizing this is

old Hawaii of so many years ago. This is why; we want to share with you why Molokai is still

Molokai!

I n closing, we enclose some fact sheets and a trip planner to help make your planning

easier, or just choose to make no plans and absorb what the island has to offer. We look

forward to seeing you on Molokai.

Aloha from Molokai,

Clare Mawae

Owner of Molokai Outdoors

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ABOUT KALAUPAPA Kalaupapa National Historical Park was established on December 22, 1980. Still in its formative years, it is dedicated to the past, the present and the future. It is dedicated to preserving the memories and experiences of the past in order that valuable lessons might be learned from them. It is dedicated to providing a well-maintained community to ensure that present residents of the Settlement may live out their lives in this, their home. And, it is dedicated to the education of present and future generations with regard to a disease that has been shrouded in fear and ignorance for centuries. The park is open Monday through Saturday, by invitation only. Visitors must be at least 16 years of age. 1835 Leprosy is observed in Kamuli, a Hawaiian woman living at Koloa, Kauai. This represents the first documented case of leprosy in Hawaii. 1864 Joseph De Veuster arrives in Honolulu on March 19. He is ordained on May 31 in the Cathedral of Our Lady of Peace in Honolulu and is known as Father Damien. 1865 "An act to Prevent the Spread of Leprosy" is signed into law by King Kamehameha V on January 3. This act authorizes the setting apart of land for the purpose of isolating persons with leprosy.. 1866 The first "shipment" of patients to the Leprosy Settlement at Kalawao, Molokai, is made on January 6. The first group consists of 9 men and 3 women. 1873 Father Damien, age 33, arrives at Kalaupapa on May 10. Efforts are heightened to "apprehend" and isolate all persons with leprosy. 1885 Father Damien is "officially" diagnosed as having leprosy and the news is made public. 1889 Father Damien dies on April 15 at the age of 49. 1946 The Board of Hospitals and Settlement authorizes the use of the sulfone antibiotics at Kalaupapa. Sulfone therapy is started on six patients and the medication seems to produce changes overnight. 1969 Hawaii's century-old isolation laws are abolished. Legislation calls for the use of the term "leprosy" rather than "Hansen's Disease" with the idea that a concerted effort should be made to educate the public to accept the disease under its original name. All new cases are treated strictly as outpatients. 1980 President Carter signs Public Law 96-565 establishing Kalaupapa National Historical Park. The State Legislature again decrees "Hansen's Disease" rather than "leprosy" to be the official terminology in Hawaii. This action is based on the feelings by persons with the disease that use of the term "leper" perpetuates the stigma still associated with the disease. DAMIEN TOUR

Built by Father Damien in 1873 was renovated 100 years later to commemorate its 100 anniversary. The Bishop Museum along with members of the Catholic Church helped to prepare the church for the special occasion. The cemetery along the side of the church, are members of the Catholic Church and those from Kamalo. As you look at the church, you will be seeing all of the other churches Father Damien built, as they were similar in size and features. The original confession booth, Flemish ceilings and life size statue of him are on site. After St Joseph’s church you drive to Kumimi, better known by locals as Morris Point. This particular spot was used as a land mark to identify local family homes along the way to Halawa Valley. From this point one can see Napili coast of Maui and Lana’i. Kumimi to Kaunakakai Town (if t ime al lows)

Kaunakakai, the main town on Molokai is only two blocks long. Quaint and quiet, you’ll notice that there are no traffic signals.
