I was out there just last week the first week of August 2021 and my buddy lives out there he's lived out there for 15 years as well and we went down by the fissure 8 lava flows as well and it is very inspiring and somewhat speechless about the power that lava has
We will be visiting Kona in a few weeks and will be staying both the east and west side of the island. Can I hit all the areas in the video in a day while we are in Kailua ? Route ? Thanks!!
If you will be staying on the East side while you are here, you will find that to be a much easier adventure. It takes two hours each way to get to where we were. But yes, you can,.we did! Just Google Issac Hale Beach and you will see most of what is in this video. The flower farm is not really a public tour, but if you called them from their website and asked and offered to buy some flowers, they may show you around!
True! I think the INTENTION to take something that is not yours that belongs to the island is the key. Now, I don't know what happens when its used commercially, but my Hawaiian friends will say, "Ask it if it wants to go with you". That piece said, "Let me stay here!" and I DID want to take it, but felt an energetic experience to just put it back where I found it.
@@365Hawaii Yeah, probably for the best. Still, I don't see any harm, as long as it stays on the Island right? I see it as only as honoring a small piece of Pele's beauty, though I could have it all wrong haha!
@@3000gtwelder As long as it stays on the island is the most important part! If I had just picked up a little piece for my garden, I would not have made a deal of it. But a piece so fresh and colorful..I wanted it! But I had a little voice..lol.
First rule about Jacaranda Trees is Never park under one!! You will have the hardest time washing off the sticky sappy flowers from your paint! Haha! Take my word for it, as someone who has done it in the past. They are beautiful though, just really sticky flowers! :D
No! No more people to upset the Aloha. People will come w/o advertising. If it’s just you trying to make money by joining your “ohana” & pay for your services... stop. Living in Kona you SHOULD know this.
One of the things we do with our Ohana group is NOT encourage people to move here without knowing what they are getting themselves in for and we also educate them about taking care of the island, volunteering, being pono, showing aloha and being good citizens. No one else is offering that to folks who are trying to move here.
Now now Ed where is your Aloha spirit. You know as well as I that people come and many of them return to the mainland after a year or so of our high cost of living and isolation. Julie and Erik are performing a much needed service and they are compassionate, caring people. The kind the world could use more of.
Abby Rhode - my point being that people will come but we don’t need to encourage it. Aloha also applies to those of us who are impacted by those who don’t understand Aloha. Come, spend your money, have a GREAT time, then go home. No one needs that cousin who lives in the couch, doesn’t contribute & expects the home to cater to him. Just saying it like it is. BTW, I know some are better than others.
Thanks Eric & Julie!

Great trip! Mahalo for taking us along. 🤙🏽
Nice tour, next time come and check out the amazing Kapoho black sand beach that isn't so well visited
Off the 132 you didn’t show the only house that survived the lava going around the house.

@@365Hawaii Thanks a lot!! Yes, I just route it on google map, less than an hour to Issac Hale Park from where we are staying.
If it's bad JuJu to take lava, how come they sell crushed cinder for driveways and such? They also use Blue rock to fill areas and fix roads with it?

People at gardening stores here in San Francisco pay $6.99 for a two quart bag of Pumice.

Erik and Julie are kind and giving and Love this Island. We are a group and collectively help each other - as it should be.
