Hawaii Travel Guide 2023: Big Island with 9 Indispensable Travel Tips

We stayed in a beautiful house in Captain Cook and we could see the statue and watch dolphins with binoculars it was amazing. Hoping to move to this island in the future.

Jordan/Erica, Enjoy the videos and newsletter. Interested in Driving to Mauna Kea. Can it be done in 7 hours? We are coming in on an NCL Cruise. Do you suggest Hilo or Maui? Saw the newsletter about Big Island Jeeps, but he is a 4 night minimum. Any help would be appreciated!!!

I just suscribed. I have been twice to Hawaii but I would like to come back. I still have to visit the big island. I really enjoy your videos. Do you live in Hawaii?

Thanks for the info. Appreciate all the tips and insights. Will have to check into the waterfall hike and Jeep rental link as we feel renting a Jeep is the only way to go on the Big Island. Our friend, Scott @ Apau Hawaii Tours does the best guided tours of Volcanoes Nat’l Park and we absolutely loved the night snorkeling with the mantas!! Going back with our adult children in Jan for a late Christmas. Some want to sky dive, some want to see the whales and others want to scuba. And, of course, we’re all hoping Kilauea is erupting 😊. Too much to see and do in a week that’s for sure! 🏝️ 😎

Do you think it’s still worth visiting the Kilauea Volcano?

I'm planning a trip with my family for next summer. What's best beach for kids in the big island?.

I was watching and my wife was in the room not paying attention on her Ipad, she kept asking me to turn the volume off, she thought she heard one of our cats up to something....but every time I paused the sound stopped...the 3rd time I had to say..."Hun, there on a balcony....it's the birds on the show in Hawaii".......thanks for the laugh.

20 year anniversary trip, Big Island, t-minus 5 days!
Costco travel is the way to go too for car rentals. Got 5 days for Big Island (been checking each week past month and it keeps going down) 5 day standard SUV for $390... super cheap!

hello thanks for the informative video. my question is do these islands connect via roads or is it boats that take there. please update

Just got back from the Big Island. Second time we’ve rented a Jeep Wrangler. Stayed in Kona. Jeep
was great to drive over to Hilo, etc. Miss it already!

We made it to Maui last week Friday. We are having so much fun here.

Was on the Big Island earlier this month and absolutely loved it!! Your tips and itinerary guide (plus all your videos) were extremely helpful!! I would never have had as great of a time as I did without your help!!!

As always great video! Your videos helped me plan my trip back in December. Now I just enjoy watching them to reminisce and plan my next trip. I really like Jordan's shirt in this one. Where did you get it?

Love your channel!! Can you PLEASE recommend a top notch snorkel tour in Waikiki. We recently spent a week in Waikiki and booked a “reef” snorkel trip with Port Waikiki Cruises, Waikiki Hilton and was totally disappointed. The boat “captain” Justin was completely arrogant and had no people skills. Made us feel like he was doing us a favor to be on the boat. The boat ride was to the snorkel site (not a reef) was just a short ride. The snorkel site was occupied by several other boats. The reef was a rock on the bottom of the ocean. Very little marine life to see. The music was so loud, you couldn’t carry on a conversation with others. 95% of the boat ride was on the motor. I think the only reason they hoisted the sail was to display the Hilton sail. This was a complete waist of our time and money. Thanks again for a informative channel.

I know a lot of places that off-roading is done and questionable. However, I would ALWAYS get a Jeep so I could get up to the top of Mauna Kea.

Awesome video! We honeymooned here. What an amazing island! Thanks for the tips!

I'm here rn w my family!

Great tip- thanks. Planning our trip for January 24- all thw wat from the UK. fter all it is only a15 hour trip by 'plane✈10 to LAX + 5 to KOA 🙃 Volcanoes, whales, Manta Rays & waterfalls are top of my list, & hopefully some astronomy too! 🌠🪐

Leaving next week to big island for 10 days. Love your videos and your itinerary guide

Any videos on traveling to other islands not by plane?

How come you never go Southpoint

How come you neva go Waipio Valley

So excited to watch this video. The family and I are visiting at the end of May. I love your channel. I must purchase your guides on your website.

Great tips! I must admit, while I have been to the Big Island numerous times, I feel like I have seen very little of it-especially the Hilo side.

Yes, you really need a rental car on the big island.

One week dry side, one week wet side!

Watch all of your videos leading up to our trip. Watching now as we are in Hawaii!

Yahoo, 2024 we're coming back!!!

Clare and my mother, Susan here in the Uk again, we booked a day trip to this Island and just enjoyed watching your video, too much fun to be had in just one day! What shall we prioritise? Any help would be appreciated as always x

I went the the Big Island in January, extended a business meeting in Honolulu for a few days. The night snorkel with the manta rays was absolutely amazing! They were just inches from your face. I learned about it the first time I was on the island, but the day I was leaving. Had it on my list to do, so glad I did it!

Planning for end of sept/Oct trip rn!

We love you guys ❤
