We are glad to here this video got you more excited! We're also happy you liked the Flume tracks we chose for it too haha!

Hey, the first Airbnb we stayed at on the water is unfortunately no longer listed on Airbnb, but the host has another great stay in the same area which we linked under the "Sources" section in our description. Thanks for watching!

Hey, the Airbnbs are linked in the description under "Sources". The first Airbnb we stayed at is no longer listed on Airbnb, but the host has another great stay in the same area. Thank you for watching!

thank you so much! have a great day!

Thank you! We hope you enjoyed your vacation there. We did enjoy the Holey Grail Donuts, they were pretty good!

That's great to hear! We hope you enjoy your trip, thank you for watching!

@@WiththeNovaks It was awesome! We hit that same food truck in old koloa and it was a little dicey looking, but the rolls were SO good! Also did the same kayaking trip, and the float tubing adventure a separate day. If it wasn't for our kiddo's back at home, not sure if we would have come back 😂😂 Thanks again for the overview. Big help on the decisions for a shorter trip.

That’s a great question because we enjoyed these beaches for different reasons. Disclaimer, we didn’t get in the water during our trip because the current was very strong so we can’t speak to the water itself. Here is our rankings for the beaches we visited: 1. The beach at Polihale State Park - Sitting on the beach with a view of the Nā Pali Coast was really cool, also the beach was very secluded and we hardly saw anyone the entire time we were there. We went early afternoon but if you can make it during sunset we saw a few videos that recommended going during that time because it’s beautiful. 2. Kauapea Beach (Secret Beach) - This beach is right next to Kilauea Lighthouse and you can see it in the distance on the cliffside from the beach. This area was also pretty secluded and a very relaxing spot. 3. Tunnels/Ha’ena Beach - Putting these two beach together since they are next to each other. Kind of secluded depending on which area you are in. Ha’ena Beach got a little crowded but not as busy as Poipu or Shipwreck Beach. There is a public parking lot with restrooms and Maniniholo Dry Cave is across the street which contributes to the likely crowd. Tunnels Beach however, is more laid-back because there are private homes along the beach and there are not any obvious public beach access points. 4. Lae Nani Beach - This is a little beach that was in front of our first Airbnb. This was a unique beach with not much sand surface because there was a lot of foliage and even a big fallen tree which we sat on for dinner on night. We aren’t sure if there are any public access areas to this beach. 5. Shipwreck Beach - This beach is located next to Maha’ulepu Heritage Trail which is a beautiful hike. Shipwreck beach itself has some resorts and a country park along its shore making it a lot busier than the other beaches listed above. 6. Poipu Beach - Was a nice, very calm beach with chickens roaming everywhere, we saw a Hawaiian Monk Seal (currently on the endangered species list so keep your distance) laying on the sand and we came back during sunset to see the turtles come out of the water to rest on the shore. There are also some restaurants and other things to do as well. That sounds like a lot of great things, but we placed this beach last only because it was very crowded. You can’t go wrong visiting any of these beaches as they are all gorgeous and different. Our main appeal when going to the beach in seclusion which you can probably pick up on from our comments above haha. If you enjoy things to do and don’t mind crowds, Poipu and Shipwreck Beach are probably more up your alley. We hope this helped you figure out which beaches are more suitable for your needs. Thanks for watching!

Thank you! We are glad to hear you grabbed a few ideas from our video. Hope you enjoy your trip in March, I'm sure it will be a blast!

January is during the wet season so there likely will be rain at some point unless you get lucky like us with no rain. We read during our trip planning that the rain comes and goes in 10-15 minutes a lot of times then clears up, but we also read elsewhere that others saw nothing but rain for a couple days. We wish we had better advice but it really just depends.

@@WiththeNovaks I think that explains it well! Thank you!!

@@darkness4382 You’re welcome!

Thank you so much! That means a lot!

Thank you so much for those kind words! We worked really hard on this video so we are glad to hear you liked it. Enjoy your trip and save travels!

Thank you! Yes we have more videos on our Channel in Oregon, Folly Beach/Charleston, SC, Mexico and more! We hope you enjoy your trip to Kauai!

Thank you!

Thank you so much!

@@WiththeNovaks random but do you have a Spotify playlist? Love your music choices here

​@@wbynan we don't unfortunately. We grabbed them all from Epidemic Sound though, beside the three Flume songs we used. We purchased rights of use for those three off of lickd.co

Thank you for your feedback. Our voice overs are something we've been trying to improve with each video we make. We are still fairly new to vlogging so we only hope to get better with each. Thank you again for your thoughts and for watching!

Thank you, we think so too ha!

You’re welcome and we are glad to hear that! We hope you enjoy your first time to Folly Beach!

You’re right, it would’ve been a better choice not to go out, but looking back I’m glad I was able to experience it safely. It is refreshing knowing that there are people out there who still hold life in such high regard, even in such early stages. Blessings!

Thank you so much! Hopefully we helped you find a couple things!

Thank you very much! We're glad we gave it the attention it deserves! It's our second home!

Hey, we are glad this video was helpful for you! A 4WD isn't necessary unless you plan on venturing to places off the roads such as Polihale State Park. During our 9 day trip, Polihale State Park was the only time we felt it was necessary to have one, even then we saw a few people driving none 4WD sedan through it (at a slower pace) fine, but we wouldn't recommend it. If there is anywhere you are planning to visit while you are there that you are unsure about I'd do a little research before hand. We hope this helps, thanks for watching!

Thank you!

Thank you for your kind words! We took this trip in June.

we are thinking of going to mahekal this summer. what was the extra 1000 for? and what site did you book through?

Thanks, we love some D&B! We try to use good royalty-free EDM whenever we can, one of our favorite genres.

Lucky you, have a great trip and thank for watching. Aloha!

We are glad you enjoyed the video! There is a lot of free street parking along the road (E Ashley Ave) leading up to the start of the Lighthouse Inlet Heritage Preserve. There is also a paid parking lot called Summer Place Parking Lot on the right side just before getting to the preserve. We hope you enjoy your trip in July!

We are glad you enjoyed the video and we hope you enjoy the spots too! Thank you for watching!

Thank you so much!

Thank you so much for watching, and for your kind comments! We are glad you enjoyed it!

We liked the first Airbnb more but we liked the second location, Hanalai, better!

We’re sorry to hear it was cloudy for you, hopefully you were still able to enjoy it though! The hike back up is definitely difficult going uphill the entire way 😅.

Thank you so much, we really did enjoy it!

We have the GoPro HERO9 Black which we bought back in 2021. We didn't actually use the GoPro while we were on the helicopter. We used our Lumix S5 mirrorless camera which takes beautiful footage (we are still learning the ins and outs of it though) and an iPhone which took pretty good footage on its own. The standard settings we typically use on our GoPro are: 4K | 30fps, bit rate high, sharpness low and color flat (so we have more control over the footage in post). One full battery would probably last you the whole tour unless you are planning to film the entire flight.

Aloha! That’s awesome, what a place to live in. Thank you, Mahalo!

Likewise

Aloha! Thank you, we are glad you liked it! It is very beautiful.

Thank you! Actually this trip was last January so he is 6 months old now! It just took us until July to post this video haha. Thank you for your kind words and we are glad you enjoyed the video!

Thank you so much! We are glad it helped you!

We are glad to hear the video was helpful! We have a few more vlogs in the works that we will be posting soon. Thank you for watching!

Hey, we're sorry about that. We updated the link in the description and it should work now. Thank you for letting us know!

dang. i just tried it again and it still says “ooops”. maybe they deleted the listing? 😬

@@ChristopherDornan Sorry about that, after clearing cache on our computer we received the 404 page too, they must have taken it down. However, we looked at the host's profile and they have another cool stay in the same area around the same price point which we linked in the same spot, it looks really nice but unfortunately it's not as close to the water.

@@WiththeNovaks thanks for the time and effort. i appreciate it! 🤙🏻

Thank you so much, people like you that benefit from our video are we why do this. We hope you and your family enjoy your time in Kauai, such a beautiful place!

Just found your trip to Kauai, can you by chance let me know which Airbnb you stayed at and where??

Hey @@junkookamura2567, The Airbnbs we stayed at are listed in the description. The first one is in Kapa'a but it isn't listed on Airbnb anymore, however we provided a link of another stay from the same host in the same location. The second one is in Hanalei.

Of course! I have a few staple items I use when I need longer wear. For trails or hiking, I don't do much, mainly just a tinted moisturizer, bronzer and mascara. Tinted moisturizer: Morphe Glowstunner Hydrating Tinted Moisturizer (SPF 30) Bronzer: NARS Laguna Bronzing Powder Foundation: BAREPRO Performance Wear Liquid Foundation (SPF 20) Concealer: MAC Prolongwear Concealer Setting Powder: Morphe Bake & Set Soft Focus Setting Powder Mascara: MAC Extended Play Mascara

Hey, we went in January!

@@WiththeNovaks okay cool because we’re going in June. Thanks for the response! 🤙🏽🤙🏽

Hey, it cost us about $8K. We saved up and splurged with this trip as it was our last big trip before having our baby. There are definitely ways to save more, such as a cheaper car rental, Airbnb (or not using Airbnb), less expensive tours (sunset dinner tour is more than standard), getting more groceries and not eating out as much as we did.. but we really wanted to try out so many restaurants, tours, etc., that we decided to plan and budget for this trip.

We totally respect that, and it of course crossed our minds. In that moment, our thought process was not to prevent ourselves from experiencing moments because of fear and trusting that God has us covered, partnered with analyzing the situation thoroughly and using our best judgement based on how this climb looked up close and personal. We’re so glad that you enjoyed the other parts of the video! :)

Glad to know you have God in your lives. May he continue to watch over you and your family.🤙🏼🥰@@WiththeNovaks

Hey! We went during spring break so the beach was pretty crowded, but since we were staying at the resort they had areas up against the hotel blocked off for guests so we had a place to lay/sit everyday and didn’t feel crowded. As far as the beach itself, the sand was very powdery and the water had a little seaweed but was pretty clear, we enjoyed it.

Thanks for the information@@WiththeNovaks

@@lmiller1528 no problem, thanks for watching!
