Make sure to take a diluted spray bottle of dawn for fire ants.
which shelter do you recommend in KONA
Definitely the Horses......!
Totally agree with your number 1. About 5 years ago we went for a hike in the middle of the night to view the lava. Definitely the most memorable travel experience I've ever had.

What an amazing trip you guys had! This was sick! Glad to have this for when I finally visit Hawaii
Glad you enjoyed it Tal, you'd have fun in Hawaii for sure.
You sure put that drone to good use out there.... and Narnia Falls looks incredible!
The drone had a really easy job in Hawaii, hahah thanks Dan.
Good stuff! Thank you!
I can't believe that I live 7 miles away from Waipio Valley and have never done the horseback ride there. Okay, that's on my list to do ASAP! Mahalo again for the great exposure of our island and especially of the Hawaii Island Humane Society "Field Trips for Shelter Dogs" program! You made a difference, my friend! :)
You should head over :) Tell them I sent you !
Rhonda P Rhonda did you ever go horseback riding, Ronnie from Connecticut.....❤️
Great vid. We live on kona side in Waikoloa. Love the big island!
Great video tour dude! Well done, we are heading there for springbreak
Excellent guide Jon!
Thanks Nico.
very handy!
Thanks Tony !
My Hawaii Hostel! So nice! So chill!
Thanks for the tips! Will be going to the Big Island for 12 days in a couple weeks...my first time to Hawaii...will definitely be visiting some of these areas!
Thanks Jeff. Check out the playlist if you need ideas !
Love the video. We were just in the Big Island a week ago
Incredible place isn't it ?
Yeah it's really wild there
Awesome thanks!
I would love to do the horseback riding, I haven't had much experience with that and those views looked amazing!! Great video my friend--loved this wrap up!
Thanks !! looking forward to your europe stuff when it comes out.
We did the riding. It was amazing!
The Big Island is our favourite. We just came back from our 3rd time.I think you missed the night swim with the Manta Rays! We wouldn't miss doing it.
Luna 333 where did you do that? I'm planning a trip and would want to do something like this!
Hi Lizandra, sooo sorry I haven't replied earlier. This msg was in my junk mail. We went with Sunlight On The Water. We did a snorkel trip with Sea Quest to Captain Cook. (great!) Fair Wind has excellent reviews, but pricier. We've gone with Sunlight on the Water 3 times. Good Luck! Hope I wasn't too late!
We snorkel every single day when we're in Hawaii. Another great place to go, that's free is 2 Step. Right next to it, is The City of Refuge. It's only $5 to park. You can walk to 2 step from there
Any info on the bike rental place to Mt. Kileau? Easy to find? You remember the name and do they tell you where to go?
I’ve never heard of the animal shelter program you mentioned, what an ingenious program! plus the big island of Hawaii is amazing and you came up with new ideas for me! Even though I’ve been there four times, great video!
Great info - I'll be out there December 2 through 4 - going to see the plantation where they used to work since 1909.
You're welcome, check out the whole playlist for more ideas. Enjoy it!!
Subscribed because of JayCation! ✌🏼 Travel vlogger here! I lived in Hilo for many years! Love the Big Island 😄 Great video!
Thanks :)
Definitely went on my list of selections for the 25th wedding Anniversary we have been trying to decide, and the horse back riding, the Night Market, and of course the waterfalls, we went to Hawaii for our 10th, oahu and Maui we loved Oahu, Maui was more laid back. This is definitely a contender, not to mention the observatory.
Great video with lots of tips. I travel to Maui frequently but have never been to Big Island. Thanks especially for the shelter dog tip, what a wonderful way to help!! Mahalo!!
Mahalo for watching :)
Excellent! 8v) Keep up the great work. Your video was very helpful and informative. 8v)
Excellent wrap up from your trip. Best excursion is definitely kayaking with dolphins🐬🐬We'll be doing that in the fall! Love Hawaii🌴🌴
Yeah, that was one of my faves to :)
Awesome tips, I'll lock this video for future ideas for when I make a trip to Hawaii, thanks for sharing Jon 😎👍
Thanks for watching David.
Here Be Barr Your welcome Jon and thank you for giving us awesome traveling tips
Going to the Big Island this summer. Definitely want to see Kileuea and try loco moco.
Thanks, Jon! Great job!
For me, kayaking with the dolphins may have been the one that SOUNDS most interesting, but I'd trust your judgment and do the things in your specified priority. So glad increased chance of saving a life ranked so high on your list - that speaks volumes about you!
We may be going in '19, and I hope to do at least some of your list!
Thanks :) I hope you can make it out there and use even 1 or 2 of these tips.
I love your advice about taking a dog for a walk! That's awesome.
Another thing people can do is to transport a cat from Hawaiian shelter to the mainland US. Alaska doesn't charge for animal flight. Cats have more chances of being adopted on the mainland here. Just reach out to your local cat or dog shelter.
Thanks!
As a person that lives here on the Big Island, I think the bike ride to see the Volcano Flow. Last week before Karina and Tom (in this video th-cam.com/video/OZaD7YMgnmk/w-d-xo.html) our Workaways from Germany took our bikes out to the flow. after watching your video on riding bikes to the flow (th-cam.com/video/j6UH3F-g91E/w-d-xo.html) . So now Mike and I will make the journey. Also, Congrats for volunteering to take the dogs out for a day while on vacation. So happy a new pup has a home.
Let me know how you two enjoy the bike ride. I'd go with Kalapana Cultural Tours, their bikes were good and had the lights included !
I live here on the Big Island of Hawaii. Uncle Roberts is where my family lives. I love Wednesday nights there. It's a completely different world living here, rather than visiting.
Excellent "blue" book. There are blue books from the same author about the islands Kauai and Maui as well!!!!
Great video! You can also take shelter dogs out for the day on Kauai!
Love the field trip with a shelter dog. Will do! Biking to Mt. Kileau is a great option to see the volcano! Thanks!
Awesome video thanks for the information. What was the name of the dog shelter?
It's in Hilo . Check the shelter video in description I'm sure it's there !
I recommend stargazing on Mauna Kea and riding ATVs around Waipi'o. If you go to Mauna Kea dress warm its very cold!
What company or who do I contact for the ATVs.
Going to the big island in August. Just saw this video.
had no idea of the Dophins for sure I'm doing that thanks
+webslider666 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
Omg 😍😍
thank you so much for this information homieeeeeee
Leaving for Hawaii on Xmas day...my hobby metaldetecting..where can and can't you enjoy?Also loowing for luau and great hiking
No idea on the metal detecting or luau. The hiking, the big island is full of spots. Where we went horse back riding in the Waipio Valley/Ridge, i'd look for hiking opportunities there.
Kilauea, but nice video!
Man I really butchered that spelling haha. Ironic b.c i talked about butchering a pronunciation on something in the video. Good catch !
What local company did you use for tours?
Love all the things you suggested! Fantastic chooses and comments. I was just wondering what horseback ride tour you took? Can’t find the 5 hour horseback ride. Thanks.

What is the music in the intro?
Hey mate, how much does it cost for Horseback Riding at the Waipio Valley Rim?
Not sure.. contact them: www.waipioridgestables.com/ Tell them i sent you ;)
You have not had real fun until you ride to rim of the valley on a 3 wheeler, or done Para sailing. Lava boat is up close and personal with Lava. Better than a hot bike ride and way closer. Big Island very cool.
Aloha~ nice video tour, can you recommend any tour company on big island for grand circle tour for local kamaainas from oahu... mahalo!
Did you buy a tour when you guys saw the lava?? Or did you only rent bikes and then hike/look around yourself?
No tour, just bike rental, look around at viewing point.
I would go horse back riding for sure! Looked like you could actually ride instead of walk around like you're at a petting zoo anywhere else in the US. I'd also do the the water fall hike and well, everything!
whats the best way to get around? car rentals are _insane_ any suggestions
download the Turo app! Beat the car rentals places ;)
where was the green beach?
Hi there! I will be in that island in a few days but we will be staying in the Volcano aerea.. I was wondering if is there any place nearby where you can do the kayaking with dolphins.. We will do the dog shelter for sure
Actually, I can not find information about the shelter dog in Hilo.. that is the only place where I can do this as we will be staying at Volcano village.
All what you say is awesome..one thing not to do is do not disrespect the land and the Hawaiian people
Sucks that we can’t go to the lava stuff now because of the eruptions :(.
The No 1 thing to do in Hawaii is snorkel or scuba. Living on the Kona side would have allowed you to get in the water a lot more.

zh koo hi in
Bobbi bu , and t it
In kona u can seim with dolphins in a certain place

how much was the horse ride please ... thank you
Check their website not sure
:}
In the winter if 1993/4 I went to Kona to earn my commercial helicpoter license. Went in December
and came home in April. N durring that time I got a job, purchased a used car. AND one of the pepole
I met turned out to be my best man in my wedding in 1997 at the little Blue and White church
on Alii drive AND to this vary day he n I almost talk or text each day........
:}
Great Story !!
Yes n Thanks. True Story often are the best.
Try this to see a little bit of Alii Drive in Kona if U want 3cats.com/wedding.htm
i can do the fire thing
I wish I could.
Improve your landscape. Call Josiah from Hawaii Tree Fellers are the best tree service there...they make homes trees and landscapes look like a Hawaiian paradise.
I dont need to pay to go to hawaii cuz i live there and loco mocos is goood and i lnow were rainbow falls and all kind other places
I went to many of these places when I went for a month each 2 years in a row, but I must say that among all of these cool adventures, there is a big drug culture and homeless epidemic. some of my family lives there and I personally have been affected by the drug culture. where I stayed was in more of the ghetto neighborhoods near downtown if thats appropriate, and I had met a crack dealer the next street over without knowing until later and that was only one of the encounters, the others were much worse. I even heard there were a lot of criminals who hide out within waipo valley and the police leave them alone because they're afraid to go down in there. go enjoy! But be aware
Elə bil evdə qoymurlar danışsın evdə danışa bilmədikcə yığır yığır 1 video çəkir videoyaya partlayır.
To much you and not enough Hawaii!
I lived on Hilo side for 3 years. Teachers cove is 1 of the ultimate spots. Or teachers ponds (or just teachers depending on who you talk to) . It's a series of waterfalls surrounded by banyan trees. The roots make a series of waterfalls & ponds. & it's not a real Long walk, but when I lived there it was a local hangout. Witch means if your white or black, or just anything besides Hawaiian you might get beet up or robbed. I went there like 50 times got jumped once, robed 3 times & once saw 2 Hawaiians fight & stab each other over some stuff they had just sold off a white family (dig cam & a purse). I know that sounds scary but in truth most areas that are not tourist traps are like that. As poverty is rife & so is meth.
Cool! I was there too, and I'll be happy if you see my videos and say your opinion))
Good review, but when you said "there were times I felt like I was in a foreign country", yeah, it's because it is the Hawaiian Kingdoms! They were basically forced to become U.S. territory. It's unfortunate that America doesn't teach this in History class... :(
Correct, they don't.
its kilauea not kileau thanks
Zzzzzzz
only one man live in lava field no man company will live natty dread has t ohurt would would be lie in chains no matter what the ydo world will never pass awy natty cat rides again thru psychic of tommorw ohave no fear cat no have no sorrow cat have no alie in chains cat ......
Stop advertising the island , tourism destroys everything
iska mu bhot ajeeb sa lag rhaa he iska mu bich me se phaad do
Thumbs down for jutting your chin forward...not sure why but it's annoying
Just here to say that approaching dolphins within 50 yards (boat) or 30 yards (swimming) is illegal and immoral. I'm sure you didn't realize this, many people are trying to make a buck off the dolphins and won't tell this to tourists. But you are endangering the lives of the dolphins when you're that close.
Yes you're correct. I had no idea about this when I filmed it !!
