Thank you for these!
Everyone else suggests the same 5 things over and over again...
Then I guess that's what we have to do!
Thank you for sharing these unique spots! I love the Big Island and will be making my 7th trip there in August. I will be sure to take your advice.
Everyone who visits the BIG ISLAND should definitely visit a little known gem-of-a beach in the Pahoa/Puna area. It is a black sand beach nestled down in a cove surrounded by volcanic cliffs. There is a rock stairway to get down to the beach, or you can enter via a less steep path through a rustic opening on the opposite side of the beach. The beach is not marked, but it is known as KENENA BEACH. There is some parking but also a neighborhood across the street where many park cars and walk across the road to enter the beach. This beach is phenomenal and often has drummers, dolphins, and whale sighting (seasonal). (additionally, nearby attractions are Uncle Roberts market, and hot ponds beach area...so, there is more to do in the area when you venture to this beach).
No facilities the only poo poos are all over the beach.
All the foreign hippies crap and piss all over the place. Drugs and stinky people hangout there!đĄ
So it's basically at the very south end đ
â@@marcielynn4886/No toilets? That's a bummer.
One error in this video. Only 61 people killed in the Tsunami to strike Hilo, not 200, 000.
Be careful with swimming at Hoâokena, it can be dangerous. For the to-do list: I would add ice-cream in Hawi , loco moco in Hilo, and coffee in Waimea (Waimea Coffee Company). Also, shave ice in Kawaihae, Pizza in Pahoa (Pele's Kitchen) and Punalu'u Bake Shop in Naalehu.
Thanks! This is stuff that interests me!
Yes, Hugoâs. You said it right đ
Hilo's worst tsunami was April 1, 1946, 159 deaths total.
It was not 200k people that perished in tsunami it was 61 and majority was a school class field trip.
The big Island is just that. It's big. We've been going there for 30 something years. First time we camped at Namakani Paio in Volcanoes park, we were going to stay a few days &wound up staying for 3 weeks. So much to see and we met people who are outdoor types as we are. We would take our coffee making stove, cups etc. over to the picnic area around 6am & drink our coffee and watch for the flock of nene to fly over on their way to Volcano village where they get fed. We'd often hike to the Volcano House for breakfast, hike back to work off the calories. We've been on every hike
in the park. We did take the earliest helicopter ride once & there was an outbreak so that was great. Once is plenty. We went to Merrie Monarch maybe 7 or 8 times. That's the Hula Olympics & it takes a lot to get tix, but for hula dancers it is fabulous! Don't try to see the whole place in one or 2 days. Just plan more than one trip there.
One of a kind place in the world
Just booked my trip for a week in May
Man it's no wonder they don't want tourists
Keep up the great videos!
The video is really informative. Keep it up and looking forward to see more videos like this.
Its poo-a-ko. Great list tho. Lava lava, sister to huggos, is another great spot. San sai is great for sushi, merrimans, big island cafe, broke da mouth grindz, my buddies koa wood shop down by the harbor ( gunther )âŠ
The tsunami killed 120,000 people? Five times the population of the entire area? Yeah.
Love your videos!
You said in your video that the tsunami killed over 200,000 people did you mean 200 instead?
Hah-nu-kah-nay new-ee... LOL. Also - not "awa", ah-va. ;)
Uncle Roberts is still open? I thought they stopped doing the Wednesday night farm markets??
They did stop
They have a large farmers market now on Saturday.
â@@HiloBoiz808/only on Wednesday evening right?
Thank you for your video going to The Big island đ in a few months Iâm Ecstatic đ€© I just went to Honolulu 2 months ago and I fell in love with the people and sceneryđ
I just booked my hotel and flight to the big island today for May â€ïž canât wait for this solo trip
Video started off with map locations given but they stopped, darn!
Wish you would have said where the botanical garden was, it looks beautiful. Off to google
Thanks so much for the great and entertaining video! My family and I will be visiting the Big Island for the first time in less than two weeks and we are so excited! Great job and thanks again for all the suggestions and tips! :)
Where is the Farmers market? Kona?
www.google.com/search?q=kona+farmers+market&ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-us&client=safari#
None of these things existâŠtake my word for it. Donât come here. HAHAHA! Seriously! This is the best life! Natural beauty abounds. My husband and I moved here after retirement 5 yrs. ago and I feel like I am a kid again! đ€đ
Go back to where you came from this is not a play ground for you.

We have been traveling to the Big Island for the past two decades for our Hawaiian vacations. I love the Big Island. What I have found out about the Island in all those years I keep to myself. Why? Why would anyone give those secrets to people who haven't earned it by being there enough to find those things on their own? I don't get why any local, or anyone who respects the locals, or the Islands would give tourists any new information beyond what has already been touristed out. That is what happens to the places the locals know about, they get overrun with tourists and ruined. I know of things to do and the order you should do them in based on what day of the week it is and depending on where you are going. To my friends who I share that information with, I tell them not to share it with random people and why. I love it when they get home and tell me that the things I suggested being their most memorable experiences. You have to earn your knowledge about an area to get the most out of it. Want to know why the locals don't respect most tourists? They have not earned any respect.
Right just like that beach by 4 miles in keaukaha. Carol Smith overrun by tourists. they take up all the parking in 4 miles just to walk over to coral Smith and let there sun tan lotion leak all into the waters
You went to Dr's pit? Really? If you did, you would have mentioned the hours of four wheeling over rough, rocky terrain just to reach the site and that its only a five minute walk to see it instead of a " hike" and then hours of four wheeling over rough, rocky terrain to return to the paved road.
You would think that the presenter of this video would first learn the native Hawaiian names correctly before recording it for CZcams. No wonder the Hawaiian's don't appreciate it. Having said that, there were a few new things in it. Don't have any idea why she would bring up that Dr. 's death location as a place to visit. Who cares or should we?
Don't be a heather, she really tried, not even local people can pronounce it right.
@509hecjm No, it's not that hard. Don't be an apologetic for someone u don't know. probably same race as you huh?? Mf
You are giving false info on how many people died from Tsunami
let's not forget Hawaii is not your country, it belongs to the indigenous Polynesian people.
And Kamehameha didnât drive his own people off the pali ....with Dutch weapons ..So he could unite the island under his rule :)
@@KNBARON yes it's their lands not yours Dutchi
@@nm1978 not anymore:)
@@KNBARON so what do you mean? :)
what a cruel thing to say, you must belong to Hitler, yes? ha ha ha, who would accept and believe your nazi ideology anyways, invading so called Democratic like you.
@@KNBARON it's never been and never will be yours, get it into your head
If you are going to post videos about our islands, please get the facts correct. And learn how to pronounce our wordsâŠ
STOP PROMOTING OUR ISLANDS FOR EVERYONE YO DESECRATE OUR âAINA TO FILL YOUR POCKETS!!!
Most of these spots are our Hawaiian sacred areas that tourist DONT belong there!!!
Brother youâd starve to death not have electricity or water that doesnât kill you, schools for your children, good hospitals, nice roads, sewers etc without the tourists. Get over yourself the earth isnât owned by you. Donât forget Natives are only natives since the day they arrived there.
I hate it
