When Hansen's disease was introduced to the Hawaiian Islands, King Kamehameha V banished all afflicted to the isolated Kalaupapa. Today, 4 people with leprosy still live here. The colony is now included within Kalaupapa National Historical Park.
Hawai'i State law requires all individuals to secure a permit prior to entering Kalaupapa National Historical Park. For the general public, that is typically done in a guided tour, when permitted. This town is very isolated with no shipping, dining, or hospitals.
