Aloha Brandon,
Thanks and glad you find my blog helpful. I would do the loop the same way, as Malaekahana is overgrown from the top until you get to the pools junction, going down at least gravity is on your side as you bushwhack through all that green stuff. I believe it took us about 8 hours.

Kenji,

Aloha! Awesome write-up. This loop has been on my list for a while. If you were to do it again, would you go the same way, or would you reverse it? That’s sort of my only lingering question. Also, what was your time for the loop?

Thanks, and keep sharing! Love your blog.

Brandon

Definitely could miss the Malaekahana Junction, lucky Justin found it. You caught the entire hike in pictures, that’s pretty amazing.
