You see all the places, which might have made him the man he is today. His school, the places he lived, where he used to spend time or where his first job was. Guided tours are $40 per person.

Kalaupapa National Park

This place, located at the foot of the spectacular 1600-foot high sea cliffs on Kalauapapa Peninsula was an isolated settlement for victims of leprosy from 1866 until 1969. When the disease stroke Hawaii in the late 1800s, there was no knowledge about how it was transmitted, no effective treatment and no cure. To government officials, isolation seemed the only answer. The park was established in 1980 and is dedicated to preserving the memories of the past as a valuable lesson. Today the park can only be visited by authorized tour groups and all visitors must be 16 or older and receive a permit to enter.
