Hawaii Big Island Tour

[sgbc101]

the waterfall in this vid is at the north end of the waipio valley beach... I think the flow was higher than usual that day. The place is awesome and well worth the effort.

[jaurbach]

Very nice video. I'm heading to the big island this week and was just wondering where that amazing waterfall is located? Thanks! :)

[veramann]

This is one of the best amateur videos about the place. Thank you for the upload.

[sgbc101]

the first couple of minutes are taken from the start of our trip to the big island, which included a stop over on Oahu. We can't fly direct to Kona or Hilo... There are some shots from Waikiki, having a mai tai at Dukes, then checking the place out the next morning...

Great presentation and lovely images.

[jessekalyn]

Wow, I so miss that island but thrilled to be going back March 2010!

one of the better vacation videos . A little of something to see. The waterfalls above and below were beautiful. The music was great not annoying at all but worked well with the sites. Great camera work and am curious what kind of camcorder that was used.

[sgbc101]

Thanks for the nice review! We have a Canon ZR800, it's easy to use, was cheap, and has been dependable. Also has a very good range of optical zoom... try the Big Island, it's great!

[lovelee193]

@lovelee193

@svt280363 Saw your question ... I live here on THE BIG ISLAND ...

The video above ... nicely done ... depicts some of the best highlights. Once here, at WALMART or COSTCO, get THE BIG ISLAND BOOK ... good guidebook to guide you through all the places to see. You'll want to take the main road, which goes AROUND the island ... on a 7-hour drive (that is ... if you don't stop ..) Obviously .. you'll stop along the way ...

@HatsuneMikuKat

You must go to OLD HAWI ... SPENCER BEACH ... CITY OF REFUGE, WAIMEA ... AKA AKA FALLS ... OMA UMU FALLS ... HILO TOWN ... VOLCANO NATIONAL PARK ... stop at the PUNA ULU Bakery for great bread, sandwiches and treats, visit Honokaa and see glass blowing ... and go to KEALAKEKUA and visit the CAPTAIN COOK monument, and snorkle in this wonderland of God's aquarium ... If you rent a KAYAK there at KEALAKEKUA BAY ...

[HatsuneMikuKat]

@HatsuneMikuKat the waters are calm and you can paddle across the bay to the monument ... you may see dolphins along the way ... they are friendly ... once you get to the bay ... you'll enjoy snorkling there ... then you'll paddle back to shore ... OR take the FAIRWIND CRUISE ...much easier ... they'll do the paddling (actually it's a big boat) and they'll supply all the gear ... you'll get the experience without the tired and sore arms ...

[HatsuneMikuKat]

@HatsuneMikuKat a MUST is a helicopter ride ... and of course ... don't miss the BOARDWALK in KONA, HAWAII .... lots of great items for sale ... gifts and souvenirs ... BEST SHAVED ICE ... and music along the way ...

CITY OF REFUGE is a great spot to visit ...

[telemov]
