@@NickJohnson thanks nick I’ve already watched them all . I love your content keep it up man and be safe out their I hope one day your come to Canada and make fun of use haha.
Yeah, we've been to all 4 Major Hawaiian Islands and we loved their all!
“Homie some of that cheese it’s bro” 😆 I love love love my chickens and ducks ♥️ lol😅 they all have their own personalities
The snail liked Pringle’s salt and all 😅 🐌 sooo cute lol Pringles for everyone! 😂 ♥️♥️♥️🌎♥️♥️♥️
45:00 😆 “it’s first time I been intoxicated once day 6” 😆🤣
Jack the guitarist .. amazing song
Hope it ends up on youtube music 🙂
I suggest he doesn't give up his day job.
@@phann860agreed
It gives me goosebumps!
@@phann860 you hate yourself
Roads here are designed for a primary and a secundary reason. The primary reason is that it must be easy for chickens to cross the road. Cars are secondary
why do chickens need to cross the road?
@@southernbreeze3278 To get to the other side!
@@southernbreeze3278To get to the the other side.
@@colanitower LOL
Chicken is king! Been living in Kapaa' for 2 weeks now! Lol
That song at the beginning was kinda catchy. Not gonna lie
ikr
Lots of people say zuck has his bodyguards kick the locals off “his” beach like he’s a king. Treats them like rubbish. Lots of very unhappy locals.
Back when he “purchased” the land, I remember someone telling me his elderly dad was getting the shake down by Suckaturds “lawyers”, who he described as a bunch of muscular guys. He said they would show up frequently trying to intimidate his dad into selling his land, to the point where it was probably harassment.
If it’s true, I can’t imagine his dad was the only one this was happening to.
So true
lots of people on the internet? is there any recorded instance of this
@@chemoboy-dannypheleps9234
“Recorded instances”?! In Hawai’i?! Where officials basically kiss his booty and let him do whatever he wants?! lol if there were a “recorded instance”, I’m sure it would disappear quickly… Hawai’i officials have a very well earned reputation for corruption, just ask the fbi who are frequently looking into them.
BEACH ACCESS
Shoreline public access is an important common law right that is shared by local residents and visitors alike. The right of access to Hawaii’s shorelines includes the right of transit along the shoreline and within beach transit corridors. Beach transit corridors are defined as the areas extending seaward of the shoreline and these areas are considered public property (HRS §115-5, HRS §205A-1).
It’s unlikely that Zuck has bodyguards that kick people off of “His” beach, because he doesn’t own it, and it would be unlawful. Locals would absolutely not stand for that, they know the law and are very protective of beach access.
I’m willing to bet locals would even go so far as to gang up and beat up the bodyguards if they did so.
Hey Nick, Great to meet you! Thanks for putting me in the vid :)
Hope you guys enjoyed your visit, Aloha!!
Jack!!!!!!!! People want you to release your single on iTunes! Email me again and I'll link to it if you do! Music 🎵 🎶
So Nick, I live on Maui. Been here from Georgia for 36 years. Anyway, I watch your shows here and there. Today you have me in stitches. I've been to Kauai. Totally wet place. Once I went to the big island and it literally rained 17 days in a row .I mean rain. Anyway I'm certainly enjoying your take on Kauai. And , yes, the chickens.
I live Big Island, I have seen it rain for more than a month, every single day!
Always said the best burger I ever had was at a little roadside spot next to a post office 12 years ago in Anahola Kauai. Imagine my surprise with my favorite influencer is standing right in front of it. Way to go, Nick.
Duane's Ono Burger!
@@biggieboy9229 Ono char burger. Damn I miss it too.

I lived 35 years in Kauai Island 🏝 now in Patagonia, Chile 🇨🇱 just moved last year in 2023 in September. I know very well,becoming very crowded of the people and not so friendly people, In Patagonia, Chile people really friendly from the heart .Every month, more and more will be people coming from the mainland
Hi! That’s so interesting 😊 I’m half Chilean and my next trip there will be a visit to the southern part of chile. I wanna start in Puntas Arenas
Hi neighbor! I live in central Argentina, been here since 1997. People in Patagonia are so friendly.
@@rimasmeleshyus9486 go go go👋
My fiend has a house on Kauai.
It is rural living there. Natural beauty.
Nick so happy you both loved the island! Kauai is known as “The Garden Isle” and Oahu is “The Gathering Place”, these things they teach us from small kid time. Born and raised on Kauai 👋🏾 saw your drone footage of my neighborhood🤙🏾 Here to survive, a lot of locals live in multi-generational family homes. Also, the price you saw for milk in Foodland was the sale price in yellow 😆 Wild chickens were once domestic animals who escaped their backyard dwellings during hurricane Iniki in the early 90’s. We used to have more chickens but the county hires eradicators 😢 they also eradicate cats. I can’t believe you picked up those toads 🤣 I know them as cane toads and they carry toxins as a defense, they can grow very large, larger than the ones you filmed. I have several of those toads in our yard that come out at night that remind me of Jabba the Hutt! This is true what you brought up about the prices of homes here. You practically have to be a millionaire to buy a house here 😢 Local people have been “priced out of paradise” and droves of them have moved across the US continent to be able to afford homes and a more affordable way to live.
I've never been to Hawaii, but have heard a lot of positive things about Kauai. This looks like an adventure!
It’s gorgeous. Kauai was the first Hawaiian Island I visited about 30 years ago.
Did not expect to see you here. Love your reaction videos!
Wow❤love the intro guitarist❤
🤮 muted that part
I like that song can we get information on it?
@@brianf4342 can, go Kauai search the beach 🤣
I've been there twice. Such a beautiful and chill island. Way better than the other islands.
19:51 I am in tears 🤣😂 I love that you’re encouraging the snail to eat up that pringle LMAO
I don't think those things are supposed to eat salt. :D
I hope that 🐌 has good health insurance for all the obesity & health issues he's going to get if he keeps those kind of eating habits for life😅.
If you pour salt onto a snail it starts to melt and kills it
I grew up on kauai and have so many unique stories that can only be explained as “only on Kauai”. Leaving soon due to high cost of living, but at least i have my memories to keep me warm.
I left in 2013 and it was expensive then. I can't even imagine what it's like now.
That SONG!!! Oh, wow - I could listen to that forever! Soooo GOOD! Thanks for this GREAT VIDEO, Nick!
kawaii has more magic than Disneyland
*kaua’i
My favorite island. Been there many times. Beautiful scenery 👍
I think everyone who is a local in a community that could be considered "God's country"- who struggles for conservation sake to preserve what all the tourists want to enjoy on weekends- has grown weary of the poor attitudes of the citiots and the disrespect of land and locals. We deal with 💩 people in Minnesota tourist towns, too. I have seen hundreds of thousands of people come for ice fishing and leave all their human waste out on the ice- which obviously becomes contamination of our crystal clear lake beaches. Weather you're visiting Minnesota or Hawaii, please be respectful of the locals who work hard to maintain the natural environment you love to visit. We have cameras everywhere too- please leave things a little nicer than you found it. 🥰
@@victoriadavis4339 nowhere in my comment did I intend to imply that Nick was anything but respectful of his surroundings. I was relating to some of the sentiments of locals in tourist areas or vacation destinations across the country. Nick is hilarious and authentic!
On one of my days off, I went to Georgetown in Colorado to walk around the lake. There was a small Mexican family.
The young mother had changed her babies diaper and just tossed it aside. There was also a bag on the ground further on. I picked the bag up, went back and rolled the diaper up and put it in the trash nearby. All the while looking at the mother, not saying a word. This was early 2000's.
@@Susan-sr3ge I won't stick a toe in any water at our beautiful state parks. I love our state park systems but there's always someone leaving diapers, condoms, etc literal health hazards. I'd be happy to share the secrets of the locals with Nick, tho!!
@@Susan-sr3ge Any reason you felt the need to tell us they were Mexican?
@mlwtennessee322 good info to know
I miss Hawaii so.... much. Yep, you can just pull up and take a swim or cool off.❤
Eggs should be the cheapest food item on Hawaii.
...and chicken.
It seems like coffee would be cheap too
@@mamadoom9724...but it's not. Weird
The chickens on Kaua'i are feral. They are tough and stringy. Not edible. The local "recipe" is: put a lava rock in a pot and boil the chicken till the lava rock is tender, then the chicken is done....meaning: Never. Not allowed to collect their eggs either.
@@PMMcDaniel Why can't you collect the eggs?
Love you talking to animals!! You’re the best, Nick!
My dad was stationed in HI for 5 yrs. My sister and I were born there. It's a beautiful place -- but most tourists don't see or know about the many creepy crawlers that are there -- flying roaches, scorpions, etc. People ask us WHY did you leave Hawaii ??!!
I stayed at a homestay in Kauai up in the hills away from town once, I'll never forget the GIANT bug that was trying to get into my bedroom one night. It was trying to squeeze in through the AC unit in the wall. All I saw were the giant fucking antennae and the *crunch crunch* sound it made as it desperately tried to squeeze in. It couldn't make it in, it was just too damn big. I about had a heart attack.
@@TanukiDigital Sounds like a big roach.
You have to leave! Because you reached the stationed limits.😩😩😩i grew up in mainland and got older moved here in HI bought a home , And loving it til this day! Tropical place clean air! Btw no scorpions here, no rodents. Sorry! 🙏🌈🌴Love those green gecko's
As someone who used to live here, it does look very picturesque to the average joe - but they don't see the invisible predators that make it tough to live here. The mosquitoes, centipedes and alll the critters that come along with really wet environments will make sure things "look" nice and keep all of the carelessness off of the island.
So besides how costly it is to live here, if you're a mosquito magnet - forget about it. You'll get bitten to the point of insanity and that is sadly what drove me out of the island (and I tried everything, from the natural remedies to the DEET crap).
@@TanukiDigital YIKES !!
Of all the places on this trip this is the only one l have any interest in visiting. Thank you for showing more than just Honolulu
43:25 that view is unreal, like something out of a dream
My view every weekend lol
Nick, Elvis wished to be buried in Hawaii, he loved that place more than anything in life. The only happy moments in Elvis' life were in Hawaii.
Nowadays just this part of Hawaii (this island) is beautiful.
Zuckerberg's estate is on the NE corner of the island, not the SE. Bill Kreutzmann, now retired drummer for the Grateful Dead, also lives on that part of the island.
Both are jews, not hawaiians. 🙄
My wife and I visited Kauai for a week a couple years ago, and it was absolutely beautiful! The next year, we visited Maui for a week. I much preferred Kauai, and my wife did as well. Much less touristy, more down-to-Earth. If we go again, i will be pulling hard for Kauai! It's simply lovely, and the folks are awesome. Not at all packed with folks like other Hawaiin destinations. It's like rural and chill. So nice!
You should check out south of Hilo area on big island, much more traditional and pure jungle
Around 33:12 you say sugar production was shut down in the 1850s. I think you meant 1950s.
Still not correct, they closed in the 1990's.
@@kerrymatthew I think different mills closed at different times. But you're right about Koloa; I was thinking they turned to tourism in the 60s when we frequently went there, but it was later as you said.
Shhh don't tell anyone. Love my Kauai. great time, Nick!
Unfortunately, I will never get to visit. So, I watched this video with great interest to get an idea of what it would be like to be there. Thank you so much for that.
Those frogs weren't humping....They were just playing a wholesome game of leap-frog!🤗
You can guess why certain homeowners in Kauai want to make some beach access difficult.
That was a very beautiful video of the island, glad you visited that one! The chickens and snails even seemed classier than the ones on the other islands. Even there, it has a bit of a polite hostility as seen at the general store by one of the regular customers. "Welcome! spend your money be respectful during your hopefully short visit, and leave". Inclimate weather just seems unavoidable apparently. I thought East Side Big Island only fell victim to constant wet shitty weather.
I think that this was your best video! Jack was awesome…. My first time to Kauai I was 8. 1975. Jeezus I’m old. Anyway, it was very junglie then. 1984, 1998….2003… the only difference between those years was the accommodations I stayed at. Everything else seemed to have changed very little. Hopefully it won’t become Oahu. Ever. As IZ sings…we walk hand in hand on the bright sandy beach of Kauai. ❤️
🙏
Where was that video of the squirrel from while you told everyone we have mongoose? There are no mongoose on Kauai. They first brought them to Hawaii to kill the rats But they rats slept during the day so the mongoose never saw rats but Kauai people refused to bring them over. Oh and It sure does seam like are main highway is a little road out in the middle of nowhere doesn’t it. Kaumakani almost burned up July 16. The brush fire got up to the buildings where the pay phone was. About 1000 acres burned. For an update
Nick, my friend
This is the kind of video I’m looking for. I love the travel guy just traveling around talking about the people, place itself and the history.
I’m not much a fan about homeless issues.
⭐️ Awesome video, love the content
I agree with you 100%
I've been to Kauai very nice place but it's haunted! due to the souls that was lost during a tsunami. I rented a Airbnb and we heard children playing outside and people talking around 3:15 in the morning...I looked out the window and nobody was there.. I talked to a local a few days later and they told me the story. Yes they do walk through the house but you have to be respectful and they will leave you alone.
Brah, was probably the mai tai’s you had drink. Please.
@@jimbrown4404 pshhh🤣 first time I heard of that!!?? On second thought... yeahyeah he is right. it's all haunted. From the mountain to the see. You better bring extra shorts cause you going 💩 your BVD's
@@HoneyKrisp69 if it a problem just move. I have some haole neighbors who have kids who are loud af too. They have yelling matches in which the kids usually win by cussing their parents out. The level of disrespect is quite shameful.
Everywhere is haunted.
The veils are just thinner here
I just spent a week in Kauai last May. Loved it - especially the free range chickens!😃 We stayed at a condo in Princeville.
We stayed at Kaha Lani Condominiums just down the street from where Elvis stayed at "Cocoa Palms. Elvis stayed here while he made "Blue Hawaii." Elvis brought Priscila and Lisa here too.
I remember GO airlines from Kona to Oahu. Had a 2 for 1 drink special and had to get your orders in and settled before takeoff. Had about 5 minutes to drink them before starting the descent lol. Good times.
Gee milk only went up a dollar and a half in 30 years?? Wishing the rest of the States would be that kind. PS. You two make the cutest tourists❤.
Great video Nick as always! I’m liking that song that guy was playing on the beach. Did you happen to get his information on how to find his music?
Yah, lived there for 8 years, loved it.
I say: Surfing usa ❤
Running a marathon there in a little over a month. I’m excited to visit paradise 🏝️ it’s going to be a big difference from Kentucky
I live here and dream of getting back to Kentucky paradise(with a helicopter to go surfing on cape hatteras) aloha
That dude playing the guitar .... at the end... perfect....in fact, that song kinda grows on ya!
Thanks Mike! I still havent finished that song.. still growing on me!
16:18 "Some random country road...". That is the main highway here 😅
Thank you Nick. Super happy you spent so much time in Hawaii. The rain is a blessing. You make great videos and these are fantastic ! Oh yah, Zuckerberg, Oprah, Larry Ellison, Jeff Bezos etc. are bringing their entitled attitudes and corruption to this beautiful place, despite that, still the best. Hawaii Nei No Ka Oi. Mahalo!

You never 'lived' there. nice try.
I was on Kauai once, in 2008. The Garden Island. The most beautiful place ive ever seen. That's where i want to go when I go back to Hawaii .
Dang Kauai is beautiful - Thanks Nick and Kim for a nice view
Kauai is very lush bc parts of island are amongst the wettest in the US and in the world. Waiamea canyon area receives 300+ inches annually for example. Another reason why all the basaltic rock is weathered down and less jagged.
I don't want to be that guy but isn't Niʻihau the most isolated of the islands? Anyways, keep up the good work Nick.
Yes, CG, you are absolutely 💯 % correct!
Kauai is not the smallest island. Of the eight major Hawaiian Islands Kahoolawe is the smallest. Kauai is the oldest of the islands and is number four in land mass.
Each island has a certain vibe to the island!
I stayed at Coco Palms Resort in 70s where Elvis filmed Blue Hawaii. It was beautiful. Then the big storm totally destroyed it. Maui was my favorite island.
I got married there, still waiting for it to reopen or something so i can visit that little chapel again. ❤
The last remnants were just torn down last month
@@carlthacker570Such a shame!! Is there any information about Cocoa Palms? Will it ever be opened to the public again? Has a corporation bought it?
You need to meet real locals that have roots hear from yrs ago. The islands history and stories can only be told by the people from Kauai. So much great families here live and work together with lots of aloha. Glad you enjoyed Kauai and its beaches. Mahalo!
dreadlocks and BO 😂
Those two go hand and hand
Don't forget the awful cat pee stench🤢🤮.
Doesn’t breed hate though.
Like your people.
Dreadlocks, BO, and a trust fund
Interesting fact Nick. The chickens took over after a major storm let loose tons of them decades ago.
Omg this video is amazing! You got off of Oahu. Best Hawaii docuseries ever!
I live in Kauai lol just so you know those toads are poisonous lol. Thank you so much for showing our island! If you ever go again you gotta go to the Waimea Canyon in the morning. It is less foggy and the views are stunning! You can camp at Kokee in the mountains and then see the Waimea Canyon in the morning. Also, you gotta check out Kalihiwai Beach if you ever go again. Did you know the chickens were actually largely introduced because of the underground chicken fighting rings, and then during Hurricane Anini they all got loose and here they are! Anyway appreciate you sharing the culture. Aloha!
I could taste the papayas and smell the humid, salted air throughout your video.
“This island is just one big beach.”
-Nick Johnson
You would have gotten much better views of Waimea Canyon if you had gone further up. At 1/3 of the way up it is just getting started 😅
Somebody give Jack a recording contract.
Thank you!!
Zuck has caused a scene 🎬 here in Lake Tahoe too.
Great Video Nick but wha wha? No Bums! That place is nothing like the inland empire! No pee stained streets
I live here and trust me there are homeless meth head EVERYWHERE here! They just hide during the daytime for the most part, but usually you'll find them on the beaches closer to the big cities here Lihue & Kapaa
Poor Nick. He has to be exploring the most brutal parts of America when he could be somewhere like....Browning, MT.
Thanks for taking one of the team going to Kauai, Nick!
Hawai’i is not part of America, there’s no treaty of annexation. We are an internationally recognized sovereign nation that is OCCUPIED by America.
@@The.Hawaiian.Kingdom I definitely empathize with that and don’t have any objection to it. It’s hard to defend imperialism.
@@kevinspilker6622
Mahalo Kevin… unfortunately many Americans in fact DO defend imperialism, typically with baseless “if it wasn’t us, it would’ve been someone else” claims… as if that justifies crimes. Imagine using that as your defense in court “your honor, if I hadn’t killed him, someone worse would’ve done it, he should be grateful it was me and not someone worse.” lol 🤦🏽♀️
Mahalo for the best video yet! Can’t wait to see the other islands.🤟
The island has only about 80k people but seems to have twice the traffic of the big Island
3:57 Not only was JP filmed there, but it was filmed during one of the biggest tropical storms to ever hit the island.
I just found you and Kim recently and had to subscribe as your videos and drone shots are phenomenal!! I especially enjoy seeing it all because I used to live in Hawaii. Thank you so much! ALOHA!
🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻
Nice video but I have to disagree with the title...Molokai would be more isolated and Ni'ihau even more so to the point you need permission to go there!.. Kauai is a beautiful vacation spot!
Thanks for your grueling work to bring us this 😃 Beautiful place!
what a tropical paradise! damn beautiful place 😭🌴🌴
not sure I would wanna live there permanently though. but it sure is pretty
That was really fun! You need hiking boots for some of those paths to the beach. What a beautiful island. Love all the chickens strutting around, the frogs, the peacock, all the animals! 😁
That surfboard that broke in half is easily 50 years old so no great loss. Foodland in Hawaii is like Safeway on the mainland. Kind of the big major supermarket chain. I worked for them a bit as a young adult. As always, if you insist on eating like a mainlander, food's gonna be expensive and if you eat like a local it will cost a lot less. The catch here is I don't know how to learn to eat like a local unless you grow up in Hawaii among local people.
We were lucky enough to stay with ex military at their hotel. Thank God for the PX! We got cheap eats to warm up in the hotel Microwave to eat! Nothing Cooler than celebrating New Year’s Eve on Oahu!❤❤❤❤
Nick- you would enjoy an ice fishing adventure through the communities on Lake Mille Lacs! Check out some drone footage and plan a great adventure for next winter. There's nothing in this world like the night sky on the lake in January and falling asleep to the sound of ice thunder!
Aloha Nick - Brent from Kauai.✌️
lol...this was fun...I loved the interactions w/the frogs, snails and sayin' hi to the piggies 🐌🐸🐖and...can't forget...the chickens! 🐔🐔🐔😁😄
Damn pigs!
@@NickJohnson lol, I just saw your comment...damn youtube!
Kauai is next level. I am thankful I got to see that place. People should read about the Robinson family and their history on Kauai. I think they even own Niihau. What a great job you do Nick. Cant wait to see you get to a million here shortly. Keep Reppin the Wolfpack. Safe travels
@@TheRedDevil_NC Yes, they do own Niihau. A strange history.
We stayed at the same hotel. Why didn't you name it. Didn't like the wooden shutters on the windows and could never use the washers. Place was fine for the rate. Rustic.
I like that you fixed the ALOHA Nick, you da man!
Yoga, dreadlocks and BO = trifecta of island joy
🤔...It sounds more like a elderly republican's nightmare🤗.
@@malwads1836 It is, I live here and the white girls on Tinder all say things like "I refuse to sleep with colonizers!!"
I'm sorry he didn't have better weather ,because his Video did not come close to doing the place justice, its that beautiful. The middle of the island gets over 400 inches of rain a year so you can imagine how green it is.
Thanks for the wonderful video Nick 🇦🇺
Rain or no rain, the water is warm. You just need to dress for rain and ignore it.
Zuck's place is north - north east, not south east.
Should have paid the $20 for the lighthouse. Very interesting. Beautiful view. First time we saw it, it was free. Second time we tried to go, it was closed for Columbus Day WEEKEND!! It has changed to gov't hands, so admission fee and federal holidays ruined it.
Another outstanding production 🌴🦀🧉 Elvis Presley
I like the song, it has been in my head all day.
I had the chance to travel to one island and we choose Kawaii, it is amazing. We did the correct choice.
Prices are insane, daily shopping is a practice of the nerves.
Another great video... Think one of my favs so far from Hawaii series 🎉.... Why didn't you bring MAPPY to Kawaii with you and Kim?🤣.... Have you gone to Mauo on this series?.... Think I've watched all of the series so far and I don't remember MAUI 🔥
Zucker's 'kingdom' is on the north shore between Anahola and Kilauea on the coastal side of the highway.
Your BEST work yet my friend! Outstanding compared to many others IMHO! Cheers and Peace!
No ones close
@@NickJohnson you are correct! Thank you You are a very kind man! Happy Travels!
Rain does not equal freak storm. Kauai is one of the wettest places on earth, BUT, there’s almost always sunshine after the rain. There are 5 islands, not 4. Molokai is the smallest island you can visit. My son was a priest there for 2 years. We got to know about lot of great locals when we would visit him. Hawai’i has a law that all beaches are public.
4 worth going to
Mahalo Nick, for doing my Home🤙#1....and keeping the good secrets out.
I'm really glad I watched this because now I know never to visit. Lots of dumpy areas, too much dreary rain, too expensive and Florida has the best beaches.
Keep on thinking that, because we don’t need your type to visit us anyway - not to mention the fact we don’t need any more people wanting to move here - and you can have Florida - crap for a governor, your oceans are overheating, too many super storms and in general, y’all gonna be under water, sooner than later - and junk beaches there because too crowded. 🤨
You have to open your mind though . I used to speak like you until I had to live in Oahu for 4 yrs. It’s a natural wonder. Definitely prefer Oahu as you have a bit of every island in one place.
You must know high tide and low tide times. It is the same way in Florida in parts of South Florida.
Those mountains ooze history...
