Welcome to our Hawaii adventures! We're Erica and Jordan and we've lived on Maui and Oahu. Now, with our son and daughter in tow, we continue learning as much as possible about traveling in Hawaii. We share everything we learn to help you plan your best trip to Hawaii. We share tips, activities, and reviews. Sustainable travel starts with building love and respect for the islands. We hope these videos spread that message. Mahalo for watching.
Woke up at 3:30am-4am first few days and I’m from the West Coast. Must be a nightmare for East Coasters. Even after a week, couldn’t sleep in past 6am 😂. It was nice starting the day early. Time goes by more slowly on the islands.
I was at a private event this time last year that spent the whole week here at Common Ground. Super fun and beautiful place. Too bad you didn’t show the Buddha at the falls. 😉 He’s quite spectacular 😊.
This is exactly what I needed . I went on a snorkel trip to turtle bay and I'm a terrible swimmer. I was given a "noodle" and still felt unsafe. After 3 mins in I decided I'll just wait on the boat til everyone's done. If I had a real life jacket I would've enjoyed it 100x more. Well. Next time I guess! Great video
My boyfriend and I are going to be spending just over one week in Oahu and almost 3 weeks in Kauai later this year! Taking allllll the notes from your videos! Thanks for all your work!!
We are going next week and can't wait! We go every year and we stay at the Sheridan in poi pu. And that shopping center at Kukui'ula is so great! Although we hear one of our favorite restaurants is gone (The Dolphin)!? Anyway, great video. Good to see a young family building memories together!
@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide we've really enjoyed your channel since we booked our trip in November. we've spent so much time planning all of a sudden we're realizing we're actually going!!! we definitely will book this one (I think the 3 hour sunset one)
The Mahaulepu Heritage Trail hike is one of my favorite hikes on Kauai. We hiked past the cave reserve and stumbled upon a wonderful tortoise sanctuary. We were able to meet some of them. A restroom was also available there.
The hikes we share are on public land and accessible. There are some hikes on Oahu that are on private land. We don’t share those. Check AllTrails for current conditions and rules and follow posted signs for trails in Hawaii.
We recently completed our visit of all of the major Hawaiian islands. We left Kauai for last since we didn’t really knew much about it and originally only planned on going to cross it of our list but boy where we wrong! Kauai is easily our favorite island. It’s the most old school rural island with just the right amount of big hotels, modern development and charming little towns. Amazing beaches, plant life, hikes and the Kaanapali Coast is incredible! We just got back but are already planning our next visit! 🤙🏽
That is wonderful to hear! Visiting all four islands is a big trip but you get the luxury of seeing which one you will return to on your next trip! Enjoy the trip planning for Hawaii. Thanks for watching.
Have seen just about all your vids and can’t believe how big your kids are getting! They are darling. Bought 2 itineraries-Maui and Kauai. Can’t wait for 6 months to pass😊 thanks again.
I have a question about the river trip to the Fern Grotto. My grandparents took me there when I was 14 and I have been talking about it all my life to my mom. I am now 55 years old and taking my mom to Kauai in September of this year. The reviews on the fern grotto say that it is not worth it and kind of cheesy. Would you agree and is it worth spending our time when we are only there for 2 1/2 days?
We enjoyed it as our expectations were low. It is an old school tour. I liked the hula show on the boat and at the grotto. It is a pretty spot. But, as your short on time it can be missed.
Mahalo! At 5:57 is that sleeping giant? Or King Kong mountain? Have you hiked it? Also when did Sam’s ocean view close? I loved that place! We were in Kauai for our 5th time last month and it’s our favorite place on earth! We highly recommend new koloa Thai homemade pad Thai, so spicy and delicious!
That is King Kong Mountain! You can get a good view of Sleeping Giant when on the Wailua River. I don't remember when Sam's closed, I think late last year. Thanks for the tip on Koloa Thai! Enjoy your sixth trip, when it happens.
Great timing on this video. I was trying to decide what island I wanted to go to on my next trip in a few months. This one made me decide to make it Kauai.
