- Looking for an adventure that most people visiting Hawaii for the first time would most likely never discover? We take you to North Kohala to discover Kawaihae to find the best burger and fish taco, Spencer Beach to see endangered Nene geese, the abandoned pier and mill of Mahukona, one of the most sacred of all heiau's (sacred temples) in the Hawaiian Islands, Mo'okina Heiau and we wrap it up in the charming town of Hawi.
Want to learn more about Spencer Beach Park beyond our suggestion of taking your Kohala Burger and Taco meal and enjoy it there? Here ya go: hawaiibeachsafe...
We didn't get to take you into Lapakahi State Historical Park due to COVID issues, but we DID let you see it from the air. If you wish to learn more- hawaiistatepar...
(Point of interest is the Kona Field System which is how the Hawaiians used water to grow the crops and that due to the plantations, the water was diverted away from the village.)
We DID take our 4WD truck, which you will need if you want to drive all the way to Mo'okini Heiau. If you want, you can leave your car at the Upolu Airport. airports.hawaii... and hike along the coast.
Learn more about this fascinating and culturally historic heiau at www.nps.gov/pl...

I’ve sat on that bench and shopped in As Hawi turns on many of o! Great little town always find something new! Thanx for stopping!
O=occasions
I adore North Kohala and hope to make it my home someday. Thanks for reminding me of all it’s beauty!
Thank you for sharing this
thank you for helping me to plan my weekend!
Love the Hawi Farmers Market. I can’t wait for things to smooth out and travel to pick up again so we can come back to the island. Thanks for showing people some of the cool stuff of North Kohala. You guys do a great job and please tell Eric that I love his truck. Those old Toyota pickups are simple, classic, tough and useful if you can keep them from rusting away. Yours looks pretty good!
Eric is pretty proud of that truck, Jeff! He even put the camouflage design on it himself. Thanks for pointing it out!
If you follow that chain out from the harbor at Mahukona, you'll find a large steam engine, drive shaft and propeller, from a wooden steamship that burned and sank. There is other wreckage around that, too. You can see them from the surface as a snorkeler, but it's much better if you can scuba dive there.
Good one! One of these days when we get PADI certified we will go there...with a GoPro!
Mahukona harbor is my favorite swimming hole on the entire island. Yes, two step is real nice, but too crowded.
wow that is a beautiful view...drone shots are the best medium in recording a video..very very clear
Thank you!
Thank you for this video your subscriber on the mainland Los Angeles🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Thank you for taking the time to show us everything on your island yes and too bad your pro camera thing was not working as I would’ve liked to see the fish under the water anyway have a blessed week you and your wife enjoy your videos take care God bless
I love Hawi! ❤️❤️❤️❤️
I like the way you keep the momentum going on your videos! But I did wonder why you jumped in the water but had no underwater footage! HA! Oh well, things happen! Thanks for another great video! Take care!
Shawbonez-I was soooo bummed that we did not get to catch the underwater adventure!! New GoPro is on the way!
Have you folks done videos about the town of Waimea? It's a town we've passed through several times whenever we are driving around the island, but we don't know much about it. Thanks.
Will be there in a few weeks, good to know whats on the drive to Hilo from Kona Thanks!
Ive been watching ur feeds since my mid july i visited kona having a layover flight from oahu and ended up staying here for a week and stopped at a mexican restaurant by kailua and while in there i saw both of u and asked if u could help me find an airbnb well i just realized it was you guys that helped me find a pkace to stay
We made our first visit in 2019 to the Hamakua Mac Nut Company. It was a nice place to visit and a great place to sample different flavored Mac nuts. Although, I’m guessing the sampling may be limited in the future.
Makes me want to move and try island life.
Love all the beautiful shots! Great job! Love to see my beloved Big Island from the other site of the world, although.... also very hard 🥲. Thanks!
WOW, Thanks for the video. I always wanted to go there but never made it that far. I use to live in a little town called Pahoa from 1973 to 1983 in Leilani Estates where the volcano all of a sudden happened. You ought to do a video of that area. Be interesting to see what Pahoa and that whole area looks like now. Mahalo.
You should follow @StrangeHawaii He lives right next to Leilani Estates and does video of that area often.
We have been there several times and did not know of some of these things. Just goes to show how much there is to do on BI!
Definitely!
such a sweet first gen runner! that thing is worth a pretty penny 😂
Love your videos, but would like to see a road map on the roads to get to all your hikes and explorations. Maybe you could add that to your videos which would help a lot. Just an idea, thanks!
Thanks for the input Reinhard! Will try and do a drop pin!
Kave Kafe up in Hawi!!! Best kava and organic food 😋 best aloha ohana too. KUMU LEIA LAWRENCE!
Thank you for your videos. We are planning on moving to the Big Island. Want to come check it out. Will buy a house on the Hilo side. Maybe Keaau. Our relationshipve say Pahoa not so good. Don't know how true that is. Have A Great day
Aloha Arlen! There are some sketchy places in Pahoa, but there are some great places, too! We have a fantastic Realtor team that we refer to folks considering purchasing homes on that side of the island. We would be happy to introduce you to them and also give you some insights we have from friends who live in Pahoa. Contact us at Eric@Ziemelis.com
Thank you for responding. For now we are in San Diego, CA. Oh also what are you shooting your videos with ? Thanks...Arlen
Great videos ! It would be helpful if you flashed to a map on occasion to help keep us oriented...
Intrigue by this video, I spent all afternoon looking for a way to access the heiau. Google directions are wrong - you will be led to a closed gate in the south. You need to access this site from the north, by the airport.
You guys are so cute together. How long have you been married and do you have children?
Don't forget to mention the hospital in Waimea.
I have that same 4Runner with bikini top!! Same silver color too lol
If you talk to the public about Hawai'i, you definitely need to work on your pronunciation. It's not
Kuh ha luh; you should say all the vowels, Ko Ha La. In don't say knee knee, say neh neh. ; )
Thanks for the tip! I have also learned its not Mana Loa,,its MAU NA Loa.
Hi. Thank you for the wonderful videos. I was wondering if you experience any discrimination? I know Hawaii is a mix of cultures but I’ve heard Whites are not as welcomed living in Hawaii as opposed to just visiting. I’m Latino and thinking about moving to the Big Island. I guess I would be considered Caucasian. Thank you
Hi Tom! Everyone has their own personal experiences based on how they treat the residents! If you bring Aloha and have a respect for the people and culture, you have a great experience here. Actually, as Latino, you would probably fit in even better, lol!
I also want to move to the Island of Hawaii. I am approx 90% white and 10% native American. So I am also a little afraid the locals won't give me a chance. But I am convinced a lot has to do with your character, personally and if you respect and adjust to the Hawaiian culture and nature.
Never had a problem here. Be respectful and treat people with kindness and aloha and you will get the same back!
don't forget to tell the people they need a four wheel drive to get to good surf spots (ask my daughter, and avid surfer) and private beaches, that you don't know about.
We are thinking of moving to the Big Island. We already have some land there but, thinking about buying more. We live in New Mexico and the crime is bad and will become even worse in a short period of time.. I know you guys don't want everybody and their 64 grandchildren coming in with their friends and their friends..it's just us two and a cat. I think we're gonna do it.. 👍
They killed people what did they do with the bodies?
Do us a favor....get your Hawaiian pronunciation right. It is not KAhala ....it it KOhala (long 'O'). KAhala is on Oahu. Thank you.
proper hawaiian pronunciation, would make your videos more culturally correct. other than that nice job.
You guys are not only do you mispronounce half the Hawaiian words you say but you are giving all kinds of wrong historical information. Please do your research first. Lapakahi dried out because the plantations diverted the water. Please at the very least work on your pronunciation of Hawaiian words
Aloha Joshua-We are taking that part out of the video. We had hoped to get into the park to talk to a park ranger and we were speculating and realize we should not do that for these videos. I DID learn alot about the Kona Field System however. We are also going to reach out to some Hawaiian cultural practitioners for more info on future videos and may have one of them actually do the voice overs. Thanks for your time to share your thoughts.
