My favorite place in the world to hike and backpack

[@robertharley4554]

Have actually stayed at all 3 cabins and tent camped

[@HungaroExplorer]

I totally understand!

[@HungaroExplorer]

Cool! My friends always do cabin life, but I always get stuck with camping haha. It is hard to get those cabins nowadays. Which is your favorite one?

[@robertharley4554]

The trick to getting a cabin is to have multiple people put in for it and get on the cancellation list for your choice dates as well as the days before and after. It is possible to stay at all or at least 2 of the cabins in a single trip. Oh yeah, great video of Haleakala and Mauna Kea.

[@HungaroExplorer]

Thanks for the tip! I will try it for my next outing. Two cabin nights are optimal To be able to enjoy the crater.

[@FlyingConstantin]

wow a really nice documentary of your trip. You are getting really good at this!

[@HungaroExplorer]

Big Mahalo Constantin! I am always trying to improve, and comments like yours keep me going 🤙🏻

[@kennonwrench462]

Dude I gotta hit the other islands and hike , fantastic video man

[@HungaroExplorer]

Big Mahalo Kennon! You’ll love this place! Good luck finding a camp or cabin spot.

[@AngelaGarcia-fi5rt]

Spectacular! Me gusta mucho Nandor!

[@HungaroExplorer]

Gracias Angela!☺️

[@lhs761]

Maika'i. I love the music along with your shoes crunching along the trail. I love your appreciation of the surroundings. The nene couple made me smile.

[@HungaroExplorer]

Mahalo! Haha, yes I actually met two Nene couples. One at Kapalaoa cabin, and the territorial ones at Paliku :D It is hard not to appreciate the beautiful surroundings of this place!

[@SeeChadRun]

Such a beautiful film! You really captured the majesty of that area! I enjoyed the sites and sounds of your journey. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@HungaroExplorer]

Thank You Chad! I am glad I was able to capture and share the beauty of Haleakall😀

[@mikewade2188]

Awesome Nandor! Beautiful twilight shots and the night sky amazing. It's good to get alone with the creation. Perhaps one day we get a glimpse of the Creator! Thanks!

[@HungaroExplorer]

Mahalo Mike! It was such an amazing experience to be out therr. A perfect place to clean your mind.

[@alaskanborn3459]

Awesome views.

[@HungaroExplorer]

Theere were some amazing views out there for sure 😀

[@WuInTheWild]

I'll be going next week. Your filming and editing are excellent. I am too lazy to do more than one shot

[@HungaroExplorer]

Enjoy it! It is still one of my favorite backpacking trips in Hawaii. Hopefully you catch good weather!

[@melodytaporco4133]

Loved all the different landscapes you shot, some parts looked like Ireland! Is it hard to get the cabins?

[@HungaroExplorer]

Thanks Melody! Yeah, it is hard to get a cabin spot. They get booked fast, months in advance.

[@TobyVisuals808]

Nice, did you consider heading down the Kaupo Trail ?

[@HungaroExplorer]

Thanks! No. I actually want to do Sea to Summit, Kaupo Gap to Haleakala one day. I kept it for that time.

[@BenHinders]

Dope video as always, mate! Such an unreal place. Love the fonts you chose too.

[@HungaroExplorer]

Thanks mate! I was debating about those fonts, but worked out pretty well.

[@yuezhongzheng215]

Thanks for the video! This is so beautiful! What month of the year did you go?

[@HungaroExplorer]

Thank You! I went for my birthday in November.

[@ulohahawaii8343]

Great video and adventure man! We heard you enjoyed your Trailtopia dinner :D

[@HungaroExplorer]

Thanks guys for providing that! That black bean, rice Trailtopia dinnert was awesome! Made my evening after the 11 mile hike for sure!

[@phillipnunya6793]

Do you remember if the camp ground had trees for hammocks, or if it seemed like it was tent only?

[@HungaroExplorer]

It is tent only if I remember well. Paliku might have some tree area but it is off the campground.

[@phillipnunya6793]

@@HungaroExplorer Gotcha, thanks for the info. My family is visiting and will be borrowing my gear for a three day trip out there. Never been personally. Your videos help deciding what routes and camp sites to use.

[@HungaroExplorer]

@@phillipnunya6793 3 days up there sounds like a good time! Too bad that is so hard to get cabin permits lately…it would be an even better time. For 2 nights the best plan is to do 1 night at Paliku and 1 night at the Holoa cabin. I want to return soon, it is one of my favorite backpacking trip in Hawaii. I hope your family will have a great time🤙🏻

[@phillipnunya6793]

@@HungaroExplorer Thanks for the info. I'll definitely look into that route. Hope things work out with your schedule and you have a good time there again as well.

[@morningmadness3846]

I'm going to visit in February for the first time and I'm so excited. I will be traveling solo as well and I already have a permit at the same campsite. Is the trail properly marked? Any tips for solo backpacker for this particular backpacking trip? Thanks in advance!

[@HungaroExplorer]

The trail is pretty easy to follow, so doibg it solo shouldn’t be a problem. You can even have a paper map from the National Park so you can follow your journey like that. February the weather can be tricky. It can be rainy and cold, but the same time you can have a great warm day. Ypu have to check the weather closely before you had out. Have a good rain jacket, a 20 degree sleeping bag and some change of clothes will prepare you for the worst. If it is really bad weather you can ask the people in the cabin to let you in, but I don’t think it will be the case. Don’t forget to think about your transportation and parking situation. I hope this helps!

[@kahoo.manawanui]

Your videos are always informative and beautiful. I emailed you about a hike but something happened to my email and it had to be changed. I hope to hike with you one day 🤙

[@HungaroExplorer]

Mahalo! You should send that e-mail again, I don’t think I received it. Maybe we can make that hike happen :)
