The 10-mile drive up to Waikolu Lookout takes about 45 minutes, depending on road conditions. A mile before the lookout you’ll find the 19th-century Sandalwood Pit , a grassy depression on the left. The pit was dug to the exact measurements of a ship’s hold. After being filled with fragrant sandalwood logs, the wood was strapped to the backs of laborers, who hauled it down to the harbor for shipment to China.
