This lies along the trail to the summit, on the right as one ascends. A very large, very flat pōhaku lies just below, out of sight. Small stone ʻiliʻili fills the gap between the two uprights. It is possible that there is a deliberate astronomical alignment created by the two uprights. - Lae Kealaikahiki, 2015

Its name translates as "the path to far lands." The traditional departure place for voyages to the south. Modern sailors confirm that winds and currents make this an ideal place for departure. According to some accounts, the prominent line of pōhaku that used to extend out into the sea were used as target practice and destroyed by the US Navy. - Kanu kahakai, 2015

The only stone at a site with massive earth terraces, all under a thicket of hau. Chunks of branch coral lie in the stream below. The site matches McAllisterʻs 1933 description of Kahekili Heiau. However, members of the Koʻolaupoko Hawaiian Civic Club cite other cultural informants who located Kahekili near the H3 Freeway tunnel. A visit confirmed that a few chunks of coral were present there at that site. - Kaipapau, 2013

Probably the remaining feature of Pāhulu Heiau. The stones are where McAllister described them: 600 feel north of the ruins of the old sugar mill, out in the water. An elderly member of the family that owns the land across the road recalls a platform there which perhaps was connected with the heiau. All features would have been destroyed by the WWII airfield that occupied that field. - Kawainui, 2004
