My wife and I hiked from MacKenzie to Pohoiki and back today. It is a rugged, slow trek across the a'a. Bring water, wear sturdy hiking shoes, carry duct tape, wear sunblock and know your limits. No snorkeling or safe swimming. No safety net. You are on your own. We got back to our car at Mackenzie around 3:00, totally spent. We both planned on riding waves but waves was junk. Heard was good a few days ago. Long walk to find out.
