Pololu Valley Hike, Hawaiian Pancakes, & Shelter Dog Field Trip | Big Island Day 3
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 гру 2019
- On our third day on the Big Island, we ventured north to explore more of the Kohala and Hamakua Coast regions. We had MASSIVE pancakes, explored Pololu Valley and Waipio Valley, and ate shave ice, but the highlight of our day was taking a shelter dog out on a field trip! We took Bucky from the Waimea location of Hawaii Island Humane Society and had the best time hiking and cuddling with him. We love you Bucky!

Update on Bucky: He was adopted in Washington!!! 🙌🏼🎉 We’re so happy and hope to run into him someday!
A couple things we wanted to mention regarding our Hawaii vlogs:
1. The “Big Island” is officially called the island of Hawaii, but we may refer to it as the “Big Island” from time to time, as it is a more commonly known term worldwide and we want to avoid any confusion by making it clear which island we were on.
2. We likely mispronounced many Hawaiian words, so we apologize in advance. We tried our hardest!
Adventures of A plus K So glad to read that Bucky has a “forever” home. He just seemed like such an awesome dog. Very lucky new owners. Good video.
We are so glad too! 😍
Yay, I was hiking for a Bucky update! Makes me want to squeeze my sweet rescue a little tighter.
Same here! ❤️❤️ We hope he is enjoying life in Washington with his family!
Omg so glad Bucky was adopted - he is a gem for sure! How funny he was adopted in WA - I’m from HI but live in WA now. We’re loving watching all your vlogs - just found you on UA-cam. 💜
Man I love y'all Channel, you guys are always so happy warm and welcoming! One of the big reasons why I started my channel was seeing how much fun you guys have! Hope you guys have a great day!
They are awesome!
Thank you so so much for the kind words! 💗 It means the absolute world to us!
They're great!
Y’all are going to make us turn into this: 😭😭
For real though, thank you guys for the support! It helps keep us going on the tougher days! 🥰🥰
@@AdventuresofAplusK well we really enjoy what you do and appreciate it so thank you!
So sweet of you to take Bucky out. I almost cried when you brought him back at the end. Glad to read he has been adopted.
I definitely shed a few tears-it was sooo hard! 😭💔 But we are so glad he has a family now! Highly recommend the field trip program if you visit Hawaii!
Bucky loved it, so great of you guys to take him out!!!
It was one of our favorite things we have ever done! We can’t imagine how stressed the dogs may feel at the shelter, so it was awesome to give him a break. Now if only we could adopt all of the dogs!
Dang Mr Frazer u should be super famous ur so good with videos I hope you have been good we all miss you hope one day to see you again💯
Hey Dimitri. I miss you guys too. I hope high school is treating y'all well
Great to relive our third day with y’all in Hawaii! It was so much fun that day...love love love Bucky too! I’m so glad you knew about taking a dog out on a field trip! I have room again...more pancakes please! 😋
That drone coverage...WOW!!!
Thank you again for such a fantastic trip! 😘❤️❤️🌴
💗💗💗 Bucky was the best! Still wishing I could’ve convinced y’all to adopt him 😉. And more pancakes sounds amazing right about now! 🥞
I’m so glad you guys are both happy! Keep doing you favorite teacher :)!!! You’re videos are so educational too.
Thank you Kevin! 😄
Hey Kevin! I hope high school is treating you well. Did you join the golf team? I’m gonna be upset if you didn’t!
Adam Frazer, I couldn’t ! Because only tyee players joined and they didn’t want me joining golf so I just did cross country. Maybe in a few years when the right coach comes back 😂! Please don’t be mad and I hope you enjoy everything while it lasts and never look back.
@@kevinhoang5117 🧐🤔🤔🤔🤔 sounds fishy...maybe next year. Whatever you do, give it your all!
Love watching your guys' videos. I'm getting ready to take a trip to the Big Island and they have been very interesting. I am so going to try and take a dog on a field trip. That was so awesome of you!!!
Ahhh yay! We hope you can take one! It was the best, but warning, you may get attached and want them to come back with you haha 🥰😭
Good to see you guys in Hawaii. No Spam with breakfast? Have fun, enjoy and say Hello to Buckey for me!
You know what, we totally meant to try something spam related while we were there and forgot 😫. I guess we will just have to go back...darn 😏
I hate seeing homeless anything!!! Two legs and 4 but remember we can do something about the 4 legs no pets as Christmas presents it's just stupid!!! Good luck Bucky I really hope you get a great home. And Adam and Katherine this video just goes to show why people love your channel. You re just great genuine people. 👍👍
We really hope he does too! 💗 We have a huge spot in our hearts for dogs, especially shelter dogs, and we hope to do more to help them as we travel!
Thank you so much for sharing your adventures. You make the best Hawaii vlogs of the ones I have watched. So much passion, positive vibes, and great pieces of advice. Really appreciated the guides on your website :)
Thank you so much Mira! That means a ton to us! 💕💕
That was so wonderful of you guys to take the shelter dog for a field trip! What a kind, caring and great idea- I am going to search that option wherever I go now. Thanks!
It was so fun and rewarding! We hope to do that more on our travels! Thanks and thanks for watching!
Great video! Thanks for sharing
Thank you and thanks for watching!
We found your channel and love it. We also have a Kona. 😁
The doggie day trip is an excellent program, I am glad you were able to do it. I wish they offered here. It really is a win win for all involved. It gets the dog out of the shelter, the adopt me harness get the dog exposure to the local community that are the target audience to adopt, the dog is getting exercise and an adventure, it reduces the number of animals that the humane society have to care for a couple of hours, and you get to make a new friend and a unique vacation experience. Kudos to whomever came up with the idea. We loved the Waipio Valley and stopped at a macadamia nut company on the way up.
We totally agree on all of those points! It’s truly such a great program and we could tell how happy Bucky was to get some fresh air, lots of love, and a break from the shelter. The harness he wore and backpack I wore were such great ways to promote what we were doing too! We introduced him to lots of people, unfortunately mostly tourists like us, but next time we will want to find some good local spots to hopefully give the doggo lots of exposure to those who have an easier ability to adopt a new friend 🤗
@@AdventuresofAplusK We kept tabs and our dog was adopted two months later. If you guys are still on the Big Island I would highly suggest going down to Green Sand Beach at South Point also make a stop at South Point Cliffs to watch the cliff divers. It is the southern most point of the United States and Green Sand Beach (Papakōlea) is one of the 4 Green Sand Beaches in the World. 4:02 mark in our vacation video ua-cam.com/video/D_ESp4EPZa4/v-deo.html
We have been keeping tabs too! And we went to the green sand beach on our last day (3 videos away!). We went by south point, but no one was jumping when we went. Just lot of people fishing!
lovely ! great day of adventure !
It was a blast! We miss our Bucky! ❤️
LOL Bucky is a STAR 🌟 Gosh I loved reliving Hawaii via your vlogs! Also y'all are so cute 😸
Bucky is the best!!! We think about him all the time ❤️ Thank you so much for watching and the kind words 🥰🥰
Yeah I wanted to cry when you were crying while returning him 😭 Glad to know he's adopted now! 💖 Oh my gosh of course, I've been following for a while, not sure why this is my first comment 🤦🏻♀️ thank YOU for the awesome content!
Ps. Getting mad fomo about not taking the hike you guys did down to Pololu Valley 😹 I hiked down the steep road and it looks like the other side had better views, and less "OMGSH I'M GONNA DIE" moments from cars passing 😹
Thanks you guys, for this amazing vid! It's been 18 years since I've been to Pololu and I was single then, but now going back there with my teenage son for a wonderful trip! Loved the shaved ice and pancakes - we are going to check it out! Glad Bucky found a nice home in Washington!!
We are so happy y’all are going to go visit! This was such a fun day and so special to us to take Bucky out for a little field trip!

You guys are adorable! Thanks for the video it was awesome!
You’re too sweet! 🥰🤗 And you’re so welcome!
you guys are so great....
All of your positive comments have made us smile so big!
I love the videos, you guys do such a great job. I love planning my vacations and honestly you're taking the planning out of it. We're heading to Kauai and BI in September!
That makes us sooo happy to hear! Our goal is to hopefully make planning trips a bit easier for others. We went to Kauai quite a few years ago (we have a list of our favorite spots on our website) and hope to go back there next!
That must have been so hard having to take Bucky back 😪 I hope someone gives him a home soon , the scenery keeps getting better and better 👏👏👏
We really really hope so too! It was a heartbreaking feeling, but he is such a good boy and will find a great family!
We have now entered the lush part of the island! It was so pretty!
Yeah day with Bucky! So great to see that. How do you guys stay in such great shape with the food parts of your days.?
Oh myyyyyy. I love to enjoy did and see others enjoy food. I grave to be careful tho. 😛
I got my van!!! In one month, I hit the road. Happy New Year!!
We eat verryyyyy healthy anytime we are not filming a vlog (+ like to workout!) so that we can stuff our faces when vlogging 🤣🤣
Woo!!! Where are you headed first?! What a great way to start 2020 🙌🏼
Adventures of A plus K Not going to stray too far from San Diego County over the winter....climate thing. I will be working on making a living too. Currently giving Amazon a work out to get what i need....good thing it’s cyber Monday:)
San Diego sounds sooo nice right about now!
GOOD NEWS: Big Island Original Shave Ice 🍧 opened a permanent store at Kings’ Shops in Waikoloa Beach Resort. It’s right next to Roy’s Restaurant and is still delicious and super popular!
Awesome! The world needs more Hawaiian shave ice!
That was a cute dog!
He was so cute and sweet! 🥰🥰
Such a fun video, and Bucky was so cute. I'm going to see if they allow you to do that on Oahu!
We learned that the only island they don’t do it on is Oahu 😭, but maybe you can convince them because it’s seriously the best! 💗
Mr.Frazer!!!! Hi
Monce yamile hey Monce!
You better slide some pancakes Frazier , it’s me jack 👍 1st peroid
Kboom StudioZ haha! What up, Jack! I’ll get some banana pancakes for you next time

PLEASE take Bucky home with you! Mahalo
I soooo wish we could have, but we can’t have another dog with our pup and our van! 😭😭😭 I 100% cried editing this and wanted to hop back on a flight and go get him! 💔💔
I wonder where you can get Portuguese sausage, or an equivalent of it, on the East Coast.
What is the item on the left strap of Adam's back pack?
We are loving the vlogs.
That’s our camera clip (made by Peak design)! It’s super handy to have easy access to our camera without having to hold it 🙌🏼 And yay, we’re so glad to hear that! Thanks so much for watching 🤗
Mr. Frazerrrr?!?!?!?!
Kayylah G that’s me!
Good to hear Bucky is safe. Love your Hawaii vlogs. How does Katharine stay so slim after eating so much? Amazing! Huge portions.
Hahahah we typically eat super healthy and work out a ton! But on vacations we 100% treat ourselves 😂
🖒🖒🙌🙌🌷
