Really great job. Your photography is amazing. And you brought back a lot of memories. 47 years ago I did a bicycle tour and camped everywhere you pointed out. Hilo to Hilo in 4 weeks. Punaluu looks amazingly the same. My campsite at Kalapana is now under all that rock you walked on. It was about a quarter mile or so down the road. Gorgeous tiny spot right across from the sand. It was and is a special place. Thanks for sharing. Makes me want to go back one more time. 😊
Pohoiki, Richardson's, 4 miles, King's landing and secrets are the go to place to surf.. secrets and Kings landing probably not recommended because it's easy to get reef rash...
Thank you for this amazing video! I went in 2007 for 10 days! I can’t wait to go back! I will add that the hike to the green sand beach was kind of hilly and definitely seems much longer than it actually is….. well worth the hike though!
Thanks for the video. Great updated info. I lucky to have visited Big Island 2x with family. Group of 6-10, so we rented a house Hilo side on 25 acres where wild pigs roam after dusk. I hope to return.
That is awesome! Thank you for sharing, brings back great memories. Thank you for commenting too, every time I receive a comment it reminds me people do watch, a motivation to keep the vlogs.
@@JasmineWay Thanks a lot for the positive thoughts and feedback, keeps me motivated to continue! 😊 Yeah definitely hope to visit the US soon after 7 years since last time, and pass by to Hawaii too! Enjoy it over there!
Hi thank you for a very interesting video, we would love to spend a night in the accommodation on Lava Fields but we cannot find how to book, any ideas about how to get hold of them to book,myour help would be appreciated thanks Marcia Hammond
One of the best Big Island UA-cam videos I have seen. My daughter is a student at University of Hawaii Hilo so I have been to Hawaii several times. Thanks for all the work you have put into this video. I am going to the Big Island in August. When I am at Two Step I will make sure I eat at Kaaloa's Super J's.
Glad it was helpful! Amazing that your daughter studies in such a beautiful island. Enjoy your trip to the Big Island soon! Super J's will not disappoint :)
Hi Summer! I believe so, based on the reading from here, www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/recent-eruption, seems like the eruptions (despite large or small) creates lava flowing out from underground vents
I’m planning a family trip the Big Island (along with Oahu) in October. This video was so helpful! Would you say the hike down to the green sand beach is doable for kids? They are 9 & 11 and are used to moderate hikes.
Have fun! Yes green sand beach hiking is doable for kids, especially they're used to moderate hikes. The hike is mostly flat, one hour each way. If tired, can always wave at a truck passing by, there'll be many. Don't do it at night when it's not good lighting condition though, as there could be rocks on the round
Can I do Hilo for one day trip then fly back to Honolulu? I just want to go to Black San beach and volcanoes national park. Do you think I have enough time?
A DEFINITE beach not to be missed: The KENENA BLACK SAND BEACH. Located in the Pohoa/Puna district. Near the Uncle Roberts market, and nearby small town of Puna. Other nearby places to visit: the hot ponds natural volcanic heated wadding ponds!
If you are not smart with the ocean that can be a bad place. Also plan on no accommodations, cars getting vandalized. We’ve had a bunch of saves down there.
Thank you so much for the feedback! Really appreciate it. My husband says I edit the video too fast too, I'll adjust for future videos. Thanks for taking time to comment.
WOW Chester, you've been twice! So great! Next time you can check out the lava fields :D I also know a local who I can share the contact, who hosts Airbnb in the lava field.
Can I ask where this is? Is it on airbnb/vrbo? I'm planning a trip and I love the idea of staying somewhere like this. Especially given it's put of the way and gives a different view than the typical beach lookout you'd find.
Camping at the beach is just not good advice. There are personal safety risks your 10s of subs need to be aware of. That is where homeless and drug use is rampant. You’re basically influencing people to camp out in skid row.
oves you so much that He sent His Holy Son Jesus from heaven to earth, to be born of a virgin, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins, and to be put into a tomb 3 days and rise from the dead the third day, and He (Jesus) went back up to heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, and unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, and immoral persons and sorcerers and idolaters and all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire and brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent.

Great video! Thanks!
Great video!! Do you have any tips for visiting the telescopes?
Hi Heather, I recommend a podcast "Amateur Traveler" it has an episode on big island and talked about traveling to the telescope. Have fun!
Hi thank you for a very interesting video, we would love to spend a night in the accommodation on Lava Fields but we cannot find how to book, any ideas about how to get hold of them to book,myour help would be appreciated thanks Marcia Hammond
Hi Marcia, we booked "Lava Lookout" on AirBnb
Great video. Thank you. We sail on Pride of America March 1st 2025
Enjoy your trip! That sounds really fun!
What Drone are you using? We got back a couple of weeks ago and was nice to see all the places we also visited.
True! I also enjoy looking at video of places I've visited, it reminds me of the memories. Drone: I used DJI Mini2.
What about the west side? It was very nice for the east/Hilo side.
One of the best Big Island UA-cam videos I have seen. My daughter is a student at University of Hawaii Hilo so I have been to Hawaii several times.

The Hawaiian islands the ancient homelands of my ancestors . The islands will and forever will be my Jome . The people there are my OHANA
Did the live lava mean eruption? Thanks for sharing very good tips!
Hi Summer! I believe so, based on the reading from here, www.usgs.gov/volcanoes/kilauea/recent-eruption, seems like the eruptions (despite large or small) creates lava flowing out from underground vents
Mahalo for sharing the Big Island that my Ohana lives.
Mahalo! Big Island has the greatest people.
I’m planning a family trip the Big Island (along with Oahu) in October. This video was so helpful! Would you say the hike down to the green sand beach is doable for kids? They are 9 & 11 and are used to moderate hikes.

Can I do Hilo for one day trip then fly back to Honolulu? I just want to go to Black San beach and volcanoes national park. Do you think I have enough time?
I think so, it'll be super rushed, but you can spend 3-4 hours in the national park, 1 hour on the black sand beach. Leaving time to drive in between
视频太棒了
😃
Is there a website for the lodging in the Lava fields? Thanks

Pass on Lava Rock... 7.34 The last time we had burgers and not good...
Got it. Thank you for the information Dennis!
What is the name of hotel in the middle of lava fields?
Lava Lookout
Wow the pannning in this was so fast! I have to slow down the video in order to see the views.
Thank you so much for the feedback! Really appreciate it. My husband says I edit the video too fast too, I'll adjust for future videos. Thanks for taking time to comment.
i guess i miss the lava field last two times i went there.
WOW Chester, you've been twice! So great! Next time you can check out the lava fields :D I also know a local who I can share the contact, who hosts Airbnb in the lava field.
Are the Lava Fields on private property?
Can I ask where this is? Is it on airbnb/vrbo? I'm planning a trip and I love the idea of staying somewhere like this. Especially given it's put of the way and gives a different view than the typical beach lookout you'd find.
Aloha Jasmine from Puna Hawaii
Aloha Kimo! Such a wonderful thing to receive a comment form a Puna local! Mahalo!
全部都是用dji mini 吗
谢谢Jenny❤️😘😘😘😘 landscape是用dji mini，其他的是用pixel 4a手机📱😎😃
The most common car there isn’t Jeep. Most common are 4-runners. Jeeps most likely the most common for tourists
Love hawaii but the food is just not why I go.
Please pan the camera slower! My eyes almost went crosseyed! LoL
Haha definitely. I'll do it in all my future videos

Akamai trail is not for Handicap people.
Thanks for the correction!
