this is a product of passionate people sharing a story that means everything to them and it's so beautiful in every way. Can't imagine how much effort went into this but it's so worth it in the end. Congrats Sam and Nainoa on this, thanks for sharing stories that matter with the world! :)
Ben S because U.S business men took over and took their land, and forced them to only speak English and took their traditions. And then for the U.S to apologize 100 years later. And yet people still ask why we say that we were robbed of our land and culture.
Wow Sam and Nainoa!! this such a beautiful video and i can really see your hearts went into every second of it! it really makes me happy seeing you guys spreading the love and warmth of your home and sending a strong message of sustainability through it too! the world needs more people like you guys! much love.
Being born and raised in Hawai'i I really thank you for not only including the beauty of the islands but the tragic events that have happened, I appreciate the time and effort you have taken to make this video. Ku Kia'i Mauna (:. Mahalo!
I had such a lump in my throat and tears running down my face watching this. I will never forget how my heart tightened and almost broke when I had to leave Hawai'i to go back home. Please let your friend know that I have done as he has asked: took a little bit of Hawai'i with me and left a little bit of myself there.
Absolutely beautiful, and a true work of art. These are the stories that need to be shared more often and I'm so glad BD is using that platform to share these stories!! Well done Sam & Nainoa. The true dynamic duo!!
This is an artwork and a great example why. you inspire us all to go out and travel the world. To be honest guys, without beatiful destinantions, sam kolder, jr alli, naiona langer etc. we would never be so passionate about travelling. Thanks for always spreading the passion! Just because of you creators I started with my journey of experiencing the world and making adventurous travel videos!
“On an island you can feel isolated from the world. And maybe it’s in that isolation that we find togetherness. But Earth is an island in itself. One people. One planet. Aren’t we all in this together?” Beautifully said. I took away a lot from this video. Thank you.
What islands are the best for solo travel? I am a photo/video creator going and don't know if i should do touristy Waikiki or try a smaller island for more of a "retreat"
I cannot describe how I feel after I watched this short film... I just could not stop watching! The pictures you captured are so beautiful and the message and the thoughts behind it are even more important. This is exactly how I want to travel trought the world. Not just being a typical tourist but to really see the place you are and to talk with the people there to get to know and to understand them. Because it is as you said that after that you can see the world through their eyes. And this plays an important role today I think! You say that all tourists should travel like this and I totally agree but my main problem is the language... So I'm from Germany and so I speak German and English. But to really get to know the people from all over the world when you are visiting very different places, it would be perfect to talk the language of the people there. In addition to that I really have no idea how to plan a trip like this where you don't stay in a hotel but in nature. This is exactly the kind of vacation I want to do and this thinking of living with respect for nature should have everyone! Do you have any advice for these people who want to do it but don't know how? Maybe a little special video? I would really appreciate this!!!
This just took Beautiful Destinations to another level not just about going places and taking pictures and showing the world you went somewhere, but also that you gave into the culture and its practice and that makes traveling beautiful. Very inspired
Unbelievable. Not many people out there are using their voice in film to cover these kinds of stories, props to you, Sam and the team on this, it's a masterpiece.
I just don't understand what planet the people who disliked this video are from. This is so beautiful! Well done to the BD team...I'll love to showcase my country with the BD team someday.
This is an artwork and a great example of why. you inspire us all to go out and travel the world. To be honest guys, without beautiful destinations, sam Kolder, jr all, naiona langer, etc. we would never be so passionate about traveling. Thanks for always spreading the passion! Just because of you creators I started with my journey of experiencing the world and making adventurous travel videos!
I feel sorry for the bitter souls disliking this video. May you find some light in your souls someday. To the authors: wow, discovered your channel yesterday and I could sink in jealousy and envy feeding bitterness to my soul (I'm a rookie videographer precisely trying to make something meaningful for mother Earth), but I salute you in respect, admiration and thank you from the heart for spreading this kind of messages. Blessings!
Beautiful movie, Beautiful message! Sam and Nai, continued blessings and gratitude for your stunning visuals and storytelling! Mahalo! Ua Mau ke Ea o ka Aina i ka Pono.
THIS IS WHAT IM TALKING ABOUT!! MEANINGFUL CONTENT, WITH MEANINGFUL STORIES OF MEANINGFUL PEOPLE AND CULTURES. NOT JUST ANOTHER TRAVEL BRO, WHO BACK FLIPS AND STARES OFF INTO THE SUNSET. GREAT JOB YOU GUYS, AMAZING STORYTELLING, AMAZING RESPECT TOWARDS THE ISLAND YOU CALL HOME. SUPER EXCITED FOR WHATS NEXT!
i love this.... thank you sooo very much .... we've been going to Kaua'i every year for 8 years now and would love to call it home one day.... these stories very much inspire me to learn more about Hawaii tradition and also to give back.... mahalo nui loa Sam :)
its amazing to see a video with actual story not just dope shots.. I think we're all kinda tired of these travel videos with just transitions and slowmo.. STORY IS THE KING
Never watched a video that was so breathtaking and that spoke to me like this. It's been a dream to visit, and not as a tourist but as someone who just loved the culture there and enjoyed nature. The feeling of being out there with mother nature is something you can barely find in the cities where i've lived and been to. I would always try to find nature outside in the city and just breathe in fresh air. I need to go there this summer. :')
Nainoa with the magic! Super pumped on this one! Y'all are awesome and I cant wait to see whats to come from both Sam and Nai! Keep pursuing the stories you wanna tell.
"If you find yourself here in Hawai'i, if you find yourselves on our shores, you too should be obligated to its traditions and our people. Leave a little bit of yourself back, and take a little bit of Hawai'i in." ...Absolutely captivating project with a message that deserves to be heard by all. Thank you for sharing. Always live Aloha. ❤️
This is an incredible piece of work! Sam and Nainoa have managed to tell a beautiful story about a whole culture in the best way they know how! Awesome job guys
Oh, Mr Potter, I am so glad that you’re doing this series. Your work gives me great hope that more people might learn to respect our island garden in space and embrace it with aloha. Thank you! Keep it up, young brother. Aloha!
Just wow. This was too good. Honestly super impressed about the sound design; great music choices, folio really adds to the atmosphere and the mixing absolutely on point. Been a long time fan of your work Sam and this has to be the best yet. The story was so well told and with such passion. Truly epic! Can't wait for the rest! :)
I'm going in 2 months and I've been doing so much research about Hawaii because I think it's important to know as much as you can about a place you're going to, I have found out so many sad things and at the same time so many beautiful things. I can't wait to finally go.
The best I saw for a long time. Guys I appreciate your perspective and value of our world. I guess I will watch it again. 😊😌👏👏 Thanks for inspiring me.
Truly one of the best videos that’s both visually great and most importantly a great story. This is how you tell a story. Well done Sam, Nainoa, and beautiful Destinations. Y’all the MVP, inspired me since 2016. 🙌💯🙏
this is my new favorite video. not because of the visuals, though they are the best I've ever seen, but because of the lessons I've learned. I feel like I just experienced full Hawaiian cultural immersion.
So genuine and true. Such an amazing way to spread knowledge and understanding of different ways of life while incorporating the importance of sustainable living Xxx
Okay this really makes me want to go to Hawaii. To take in Hawaii in me. Respect to Sam and nainoa for showing us the stories through this beautiful piece.
amazing cinematics.. an eye opener.... inspired how you tell a story... wish i can do that too and share what i experience here in philippines to the world... i love the island mentality... thank you for sharing 😎👌
Absolutely beautiful! I lived in Kailua for 12 years and think about it literally every single day. This perfectly captures what I desperately miss about living there! Mahalo nui loa 🙏💚
0:55 Swyambunath Temple in Nepal 🇳🇵 always a fan of Captain Potter an Beautiful Destinations Team Love from Nepal 🇳🇵 As a filmmaker myself, I'm proud of ur work. 😊🤙
I will be watching & discussing your video with my two girls, 9 & 12, before our trip this week from Kansas. I want them to understand the importance of respecting the people and the land. What a beautiful culture. I pray Hawaii plants a seed of values that have been lost with technology. This week we will all open our eyes more than our Instagram. You have made an impact. Thank you.
I hope I can go to Hawaii and feel the positive energy that Hawaii could over and learn the real culture itself. Nice work Sam and Nainoa! Greetings from Indonesia!
one thing that I feel when I watched the video is a goosebump! Such a strong message about sustainability and beautiful visual of your home. Thanks a lot for sharing the love through video, Sam and Nainoa!
Incredible. This is why I love Hawaii 💯 the connection I felt the very first time. My soul was happy. I got emotional watching & listening to you. Because I miss my Hawaiian brothers & sisters. 🌺
This is so beautiful it carrys such a strong message and that way of life is beautiful and should be rexpected and remembers for generations to come. Thank you for shairing such amazing beautey and traditions with the world.
It’s more than just those two, all of Polynesia is one big kingdom. Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Hawaii, New Zealand and many more! All been stripped from traditions, but trust we still stand strong! #Togetherwestand
All of us Polynesians are related Hawaiians, Tongans, Samoans, Maori, Rarotongans, Tahitians, people of Rapa nui have the closest Language to us Maori but most words can be understood from each ethnicity.
The original settlers of Aotearoa were kanaka maoli from Hawai’i. The linguistic similarities between OleloHawaii and Korero Aotearoa are greater than the differences. The o’o or spade was taken with them on their journey for is was an important tool of agriculture and survival. The Maori developed it into the taiaha. When tangata Maori song of their distant home where their ancestors rest, it’s of a place they call “Hawai’ki”.
Wow.. just wow.. What a moving piece. I've been to a few of the Hawaiian islands and I have always felt so at home and so comfortable there. Connected, in a way. Especially in Kauai for some reason. I feel that you really get down to the roots of who you are in Hawaii. I am always told that I move too slow or need to rush more.. why rush.. slow down and relax! What a great message and magical place! Great work you guys! Can't wait to go back and share Aloha again, hopefully very soon.
beautiful message with incredible visuals. you guys killed this!
You are definitely the best visual storyteller!
Great work guys really love it 👍👍👍
And the fishes
why are people named with sam so talented?

See India through our eyes.
Journey through the experience.
Much love.
I see your comments everywhere I go brotha, I love it haha! Peace!
This really brought tears to my eyes. "Earth is an island itself, One People, One Planet" That touched my heart
I like the way you put that.. "Earth is an Island itself" Good stuff :)
True
Andrei Tamas 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
Sort of ironic though isnt it? If earth is an island itself, why do Hawaiian say people 'steal' their land? Does it not belong to all?
Ben S because U.S business men took over and took their land, and forced them to only speak English and took their traditions. And then for the U.S to apologize 100 years later. And yet people still ask why we say that we were robbed of our land and culture.
Unreal guys! Nai and Potter you guys have truly smashed it!
Totally agree
Thank you, Mike!
That was better than anything I've watched on Netflix recently. Sam and Nainoa, you guys crushed this! So many beautiful frames
Huge compliment, thank you Justin!
Wow Sam and Nainoa!! this such a beautiful video and i can really see your hearts went into every second of it! it really makes me happy seeing you guys spreading the love and warmth of your home and sending a strong message of sustainability through it too! the world needs more people like you guys! much love.
🙏🏾🙏🏾
Hey Benn Big fan ❣️🤛🤛
As a proud Hawaiian from Hawaii. Aloha Aina is a way of life. Great job 🤙🏼
I was so shook when I heard that meaning. So significant and meaningful.
Being born and raised in Hawai'i I really thank you for not only including the beauty of the islands but the tragic events that have happened, I appreciate the time and effort you have taken to make this video. Ku Kia'i Mauna (:. Mahalo!
My boys making me tear up. So proud of you two, from Hawaii to the universe ✨
Rob Strok thank you brother, miss you!

@@andreas__charlas loved the storytelling on this piece! Its refreshing to see something other than just a travel music video
Mark Valdez true haoles annoying asl💀

Absolutely beautiful, and a true work of art. These are the stories that need to be shared more often and I'm so glad BD is using that platform to share these stories!! Well done Sam & Nainoa. The true dynamic duo!!
We agree, they definitely are! Thank you, Chris.
Sam doesnt post alot, so I keep watching his old ones. Gorgeous in every way
You help spread the message many locals have forgotten! Mahalo!
This is an artwork and a great example why. you inspire us all to go out and travel the world.
To be honest guys, without beatiful destinantions, sam kolder, jr alli, naiona langer etc. we would never be so passionate about travelling.
Thanks for always spreading the passion!
Just because of you creators I started with my journey of experiencing the world and making adventurous travel videos!
So Fcking true
Thank you for being with us for this journey!
Beautiful destinations got lucky signing Sam and Nainoa, this gave me chills multiple times. A truly beautiful story.
They are great creators!
“On an island you can feel isolated from the world. And maybe it’s in that isolation that we find togetherness. But Earth is an island in itself. One people. One planet. Aren’t we all in this together?”
Beautifully said. I took away a lot from this video. Thank you.
I've lived all my 50+ years in these islands. This was beautifully put! Mahalo!
What islands are the best for solo travel? I am a photo/video creator going and don't know if i should do touristy Waikiki or try a smaller island for more of a "retreat"
Andy Can on Oahu there are still remote areas
Must be wonderful. Aloha from California.
This video is so pono. Mahalo nui loa for showing our home and showing a different perspective that most people dont see.
This video sums up the name *Beautiful Destinations*
No fancy transistions, just beautiful shots, beautiful people and a beautiful story!
Don't know how my 12 minutes spent this quick. You guys are amazing. Hats off to sam and nainoa.
Hawaii is truly a beautiful place and I'm glad the true Hawaiians are fighting to preserve their culture and home
I cannot describe how I feel after I watched this short film... I just could not stop watching! The pictures you captured are so beautiful and the message and the thoughts behind it are even more important. This is exactly how I want to travel trought the world. Not just being a typical tourist but to really see the place you are and to talk with the people there to get to know and to understand them. Because it is as you said that after that you can see the world through their eyes. And this plays an important role today I think!
You say that all tourists should travel like this and I totally agree but my main problem is the language... So I'm from Germany and so I speak German and English. But to really get to know the people from all over the world when you are visiting very different places, it would be perfect to talk the language of the people there. In addition to that I really have no idea how to plan a trip like this where you don't stay in a hotel but in nature. This is exactly the kind of vacation I want to do and this thinking of living with respect for nature should have everyone!
Do you have any advice for these people who want to do it but don't know how? Maybe a little special video? I would really appreciate this!!!
This just took Beautiful Destinations to another level not just about going places and taking pictures and showing the world you went somewhere, but also that you gave into the culture and its practice and that makes traveling beautiful. Very inspired

Dude not even for a second I stopped getting goosebumps u both r legends. After seeing this I am definitely coming to Hawaii one day 🙏🏻🤙🏻
I just don't understand what planet the people who disliked this video are from. This is so beautiful! Well done to the BD team...I'll love to showcase my country with the BD team someday.
The story telling is absolutely insane!
BEAUTIFUL. Aloha family! One planet. One people.
Speechless! Amazing work boys... proud to call you my friends

I'm so hypeddd right now, this was a truly inspiring pice of content
Mahalo very beautiful. Thank you Sam & Nainoa, one of the very few videos to capture Hawaii and the deep essence of the place.
Wow, Hawaii is so much like New Zealand, the Hawaiian and Maori culture is super similar.
Oh yes, even our place names are similar. You would be so surprised. I can even understand some Māori because the language and thoughts are similar.
It’s more than just those two, all of Polynesia is one big kingdom. Fiji, Samoa, Tonga, Hawaii, New Zealand and many more! All been stripped from traditions, but trust we still stand strong! #Togetherwestand
All of us Polynesians are related Hawaiians, Tongans, Samoans, Maori, Rarotongans, Tahitians, people of Rapa nui have the closest Language to us Maori but most words can be understood from each ethnicity.

I feel that you really get down to the roots of who you are in Hawaii. I am always told that I move too slow or need to rush more.. why rush.. slow down and relax! What a great message and magical place! Great work you guys! Can't wait to go back and share Aloha again, hopefully very soon.
Grew up there, absolutely nailed it 💯🔥
finally someone putting out a real story! thanks for creating this video and sharing the real Hawaii
