The greatest thing I love about Hawaii is that even though it’s broken up into many islands you can never say “see one, you’ve seen em all”. They each have their own character and climate. I absolutely love the place and pray I can retire there one day.

Last time I was there, I went to the seahorse farm. The only one in the entire world. They ship mature seahorses all the world for aquariums. They only let so many people experience this. You get to see them in every stage of their lives, in their cold water, pristine tanks. With an adult seahorse in a tank, you put you finger in, and the seahorse swims over and actually CURLS around your finger, so gently. An experience of a lifetime!!!

I know this is a yr later but just back a from a week at BI. Used this channel a lot for research before trip! Added 22 birds to my list. Was a great time but wanted to share something only birders will appreciate! Went to botanical garden with family and was super excited about to see a bunch of birds. It was late in day so kind of overcast. The ONLY bird I could positively ID was a northern cardinal (womp womp) lol. Everything else was too far away for my binoculars or my skill level ;). Did end up seeing a Hawaiian creeper in parking lot while fam was in gift shop!

I’ve done that night dive with the mantas, and it is ONE of the best experiences of my lifetime. They are busy feeding on plankton. There mouths open to 12 foot wide, come at you & you think you are going to be swelled up. At the last minute, they know you are ther, and lightly brush by you. It’s surreal.

Very nice!! When leaving Akaka falls, don’t forget to stop at the fruit stand for a coconut of fresh water and some fresh fruit and then at the baby goat farm for a snuggle!!! Also in Volcano the winery is a hidden gem! Do a tasting and then grab a glass or a bottle and some local cheese and crackers and sit outside among the grape vines while enjoying! For a good sampling of local food, stop at Tex! Don’t forget Green Sand Beach. It’s a must see!

Please don't. The guides help keep everyone safe and keep the manta rays safe as they are delicate. Plus, the guides know how to attract them. You can watch our manta ray video for tips: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWq1fayIabygopY

They're expensive but you can save by renting from the locals, if you prefer. I don't remember the website but you can google it.

I love the big island ! However, we were afraid to do the Manta ray snorkeling. Do you have a video on just the whole snorkeling experience?

The manta dive is the best! Every guest that visits me Is always unsure and nervous and almost ALWAYS leaves saying it was the best thing they’ve ever done!! I’ve been on small tours and larger ones. Both have pros and cons but I’ve liked them all and I prefer when they head to the airport area with the underwater campfire!

Oh my gosh, no! Don't be! It was surreal! If being on a boat in the open is what gets your nervous, there are some you swim out only a few yards and you'll have the experience of your life!

Jordan & Erica, yes there is so much to cover to value & appreciate visiting each of the islands. While watching Ii did not hear or see you promote as GUEST(S) to the island(s) I did not hear anything about being respectful to the the island resident by how you talk, don't assume to change the islands culture this is not the mainland, if not sure ask question respectfully. Read & research the Hawaiian history behind the places visiting. Respect nature not leave your(opala-trash), watch where you walk on the lava rock(it may look solid) many areas could be lava tubes underneath. native plants, where you park. Please in future videos share these ideas not just visiting Hawaii but other vacation spots you are promoting
