Because of this vast undertaking, the kings and their men spent over fifty days in the preparation for the expedition. As soon as everything was ready they set out, coming along the Koolau side (east) of Maui and touched at Kekaa in Kaanapali, where they landed and stayed over night. The next day they again set out, coming past Halawa and Waikolu and touching at Kalaupapa, Molokai, where they landed to spend the night.
