[@Kellie---7]

Loved those waterfalls tumbling down the high rugged cliffs and the misty valleys, almost looks unreal. Blue and jade waters sparkling like a jewel - beautiful.

[@sophiazeline4038]

BEE-U-TEE-FULL. Big thanks to John L. (our pilot)...and to you (Scott) for filming this tour and showing how beautiful our island home is. I love this video.

[@danapeckham4754]

Absolutely breathtaking! Thank you for sharing. And Thank You John L for bringing us all along.

[@allthingsharbor]

What beautiful scenery along the coast...the valleys and waterfalls are incredible. Love it!

[@susanstovell7737]

Whow, the place of waterfalls, that is Hawaii, absolutely breath taking. Thanks so much Scott and John L for having me along for the ride. One day one day I will visit, and explore all those waterfalls.

[@faywheat4816]

Didn't watch this last night but viewing it now as I drink my morning cup of coffee. I have turned the sound of the TV thereby silencing Piers Morgan giving some hapless guest a hard time. This video is SO much more enjoyable, love the music too. To sum it up in a word ( think I'm learning to speak American) awesome !!! I really have to find a way of getting there without flying. It must be possible. Thanks John and Scott this filming from the air has been truly beautiful.

[@mareenewman]

Wow, love the statue in the opening scene. Thank you again for the footnotes. Donkey trail. I saw rainbow falls. Another stunning video, thank you Scott and John L for taking us along. Much mahalo guys.

[@tundramom4010]

Brings back wonderful memories of a similar flight we took around the Big Island for our 40th wedding anniversary! We didn't record any of that flight. Now we can go back and watch your video Scott. Thank you and your flight crew for a great presentation.

[@wolfgangtruedinger8223]

I was live 3 times on this beautiful island. And now these beautiful pictures from the air. - You are so great. Thanks and special greetings from germany

[@dianagalaxy7928]

This is so beautiful, I may have to keep it marked so that I can rewatch it every once in a while. Thank you. The music is perfect.

[@mareenewman]

Me too, I have saved it.

[@bernadettemamo2692]

Thank you for sharing, this was the best tour(Next to the lava tub tour) ever.

[@juanitajackson2721]

So cool. I just made my first trip to Hawaii last week. At 38:30 in this video you zoomed in on our snorkeling trip! I recognize my daughter and husband. I watched your videos throughout the eruption. Keep up the great work!

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

How cool!!

[@b.jmcwhattabloke8624]

Spectacularly rugged and beautiful coast !.Waterfalls all along the coast, just wow ! Thank you for giving me the ride of a life time. 🙂 👍🏻👍🏻

[@susanstovell7737]

I had to watch this again, today, I dont think people realize that Hawaii has this side. And I think this wild rolling rock and valley scenery is by far the best side. This is one of the best videos you have made, almost have tears in my eyes watching this spectacular land go by. Thanks you Scott.

[@theartness1]

Scott, you outdid yourself. Have been going to Kona for over 30 years, have never seen the coastline from the air. It is awesome, what a treat. I can only wonder how those who have built those homes on the ocean in the North got to the spot. Got to be their paradise. Thank you and John for taking the time to do this.

[@russell3380]

Just what I needed. Great work, a beautiful coastline, outstanding music, seriously refreshing. Thank You!

[@marleabd]

Majestic and magnificent coastline! All those waterfalls were amazing! Mahalo so much again Scott and John for sharing this flight. This is one I'll have to go back and watch again and again full screen to take in all the beauty!

[@gee1118]

Amazing tour, breathtaking coastline, and the music was perfection to my ears!!

[@cathy0954]

Wow Scott!! you have outdone yourself. This is an outstanding video. Love the music. You are a great photographer!!! I so so love each and everyone of your scopes.

[@mareenewman]

Professionally done.

[@rebeccanorton2892]

There are so many amazing natural sites to see and you showed them to us. When the Waipio valley with those rock formations started my mouth dropped open in awe. Scott and John Thank yoou thank you thank you for this amazing video.

[@alexwake850]

Beautiful scenery from the air, such diversity in landscape, lush and green and baked desert but always the blue of the Pacific Ocean, fabulous. 😎😁

[@stuartlast8156]

Scott, you just keep getting better and better, many thanks to all of you, regards.

[@Fox1nDen]

so after hundreds of years the recent lava fields may look like this... thank you!

[@djtrishm]

so Very Beautiful scenery. Thumbs way up! Trish

[@eileenlynetteadams9182]

Kia Ora everyone from NZ. Hi all

[@clarelawton4653]

This was amazing, thank you Scott and John, thrilled to have seen Waipio Valley from the air ❤️

[@klams8851]

Amazing, and wonderful. Thanks for sharing this.

[@jamesbarnes1358]

At 21:34....someday all this area will look fluted like the wet sides of Oahu and Kauai. All those streams have a unique freshwater fauna that are closely related to the marine species. Many to compete their life cycle produce larvae that drift down into the salt water which starts new growth and migrate back up stream . Loved the video, thanks John and Scott!

[@patriciacarlson8858]

This was a fabulous flight! So many memories of the great landmarks you covered!

[@brownie4917]

Just Glorious!

[@renaebettenhausen3611]

Beautiful. THANK YOU!

[@jeffdunnell508]

Watching again,so beautiful and awsome,thank John for taking us all along Scott,now I wonder who's the tour guide

[@davidvoinier6008]

Just north of the WaipioValley, I was amazed at how the trees and vegetation have invaded the sides of the high cliffs.

[@renegade44040]

Nice!!!

[@shell-westaustralia8522]

How stunningly beautiful. Thank you

[@lavatrip9344]

Excellent, one of your best videos. I did the same tour on Google Earth but it wasn't near as good.

[@Fox1nDen]

good music. thanks

[@eugenetrollip751]

Wow, what an astonishing island, real paradise. Thanks for this extraordinary tour of your island. Do you know how many waterfalls there are?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

No, sorry.

[@m.d.grimes1622]

Even the music was nice, thanks.👍👍😎👌

[@JimInYamaguchi]

Mahalo for showing!

[@shell-westaustralia8522]

Thank you John L for flying

[@davidvoinier6008]

I see now how access to the water is precious in the few places that there are. Very few beaches anywhere.

[@reception73]

At 1:27 It's the radio tower in Papaikou 670/94.7/97.1

[@eileenlynetteadams9182]

Its 10:46am i just fin writing a letter to old friends in Aussie aaand i missed the premier???

[@davidvoinier6008]

How practical are solar stills for desalinization? Could be pretty maintenance free.

[@lavatrip9344]

The APAU spy plane. Lol!

[@davidvoinier6008]

Those deep mountain valleys are a good place to get lost so nobody could find you!

[@marenpurves2406]

Pretty! Scott, where is the place where you put that you don't know what it is (towards the beginning)? The coordinates of the Kohala Radar (as per Google) are latitude 20.125389, longitude -155.777713 (basically going uphill from Kahua Ranch).

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

Somewhere in Mountain View. I think it is a Buddha place.

[@marenpurves2406]

Oh, completely different area then.

[@nuclear314]

coordinates to front gate: 19.5231076,-155.1528389 Says private property so not open to the public.

[@marenpurves2406]

Thanks for the coordinates! Never would have looked there, that's off Mauna Kea Drive (other side to Aloha Estates), owned by the president (corporation) of PRIEST (MONK) OF BANG SAN HO TEMPLE YUN HWA DENOMINATION OF WORLD SOCIAL BUDDHISM. (For clarification: I meant the whole video was pretty, not that place, I think that place looks weird, I just wanted to know what it is, out of curiosity).

[@nuclear314]

Thanks for the extra info on what it is. That explains the restricted access!@@marenpurves2406

[@jamesbarnes1358]

Music....name please? Thanks, have only seen some of this area coming in on commercial airlines, like good old Aloha Airlines.

[@davidvoinier6008]

It must be hard to catch enough rainwater on the north side.

[@poetryqueenau]

Aloha

[@bezzlebedeviled4756]

Where can I find the music?

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

KZbin music library

[@eileenlynetteadams9182]

Do u mean i just missed????

[@redracer5521]

STOP!! Stop! Stop it, Scott! You have to stop making videos like this! They make me want to sell everything and move to the Big Island right now 😎❤️

[@ApauHawaiiTours]

LOL

[@poetryqueenau]

Aloha
