You must bring your own snacks, lunch, and water if you travel by plane or hike in, and remain on the bus except for designated rest stops. No one may wander alone at Kalaupapa, and photographs are not allowed without prior permission of the subject. Remember this is home to the people here. No children under 16 are allowed. The tour starts at 10 am; hikers must be down in the park by then.
