I'm getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow morning and I've been watching your video for 2 hours now and it's totally relaxing me and taking my mind off the surgery tomorrow. What a beautiful world God has created for us. He is AMAZING. Thank you for this video it must have been a lot of work to edit
Yes it does get cold on Haleakala. It's not just latitude that counts but elevation makes a huge difference! I can't stress that enough. I brought my puffy parka, hat, long pants, socks and gloves for the sunrise. I'm sooo glad I did. It was windy and 40 degrees 🥶
@AdamandMadalyn he is smart just saying. Sorry your videos could be better. But you don't have to show everything you eat . It's rude to record that you couldn't finish all your food I get that but don't record it . Who really cares what your eating. People will find things to eat . Are you trying to be a advertising for food or exploring to show Hawai.I live there by the way and i don't care for people being rude. i
You were literally steps away from a botanical garden that every human should see. Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve and Garden. I have been many places around the world and this garden was breathtaking! I could spend 4 days exploring this garden. Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve and Garden Overview (Formerly Hawaii Tropical Botanical Garden) The Hawaii Tropical Bioreserve and Garden is a 40-acre natural garden of tropical plants and a nature lover’s paradise located in the Onomea Valley, about 5 miles North of Hilo, Hawaii. The Garden is home to over 2000 plant species, representing more than 125 families and 750 genera of tropical exotics. The garden has numerous trails, beautiful streams, waterfalls, a bird aviary, orchid garden and ocean vistas. There are nearly 200 species of palms standing at attention as you stroll along the tropical trails
RUclips has to be one mankind’s greatest invention. I can travel or learn almost anything from my couch. Thanks for the video. Planning a Maui trip for spring.
Northern Ireland here, was in Maui on a day trip from Oahu. Travelled the road to Hana on coach, loved it, beautiful scenery. The Islands are beautiful. Brilliant video.🌴🌞
Oh gosh, good grief! I've done it here too guys!🤔🤭 Once again, my apologies, as I know the Guinness really took it's toll on me that night. I wasn't in the right head space unfortunately. This upload is awesome & I must say, Hawaii is simply stunning! So very lush & verdant & possesses such beautiful beaches abound & much yummy food it appears. They serve nice & hearty portions & if you're really hungry, that's not a bad thing! lol I think I've watched this video approx 7 times now! lol I repeat watch all of your videos over & over, specifically your Ireland series. Thanks for sharing your lives & your wee adventures with we curious viewers & I wish you all more fun filled adventures. Cheers!
Mahalo nui loa! I always regretted that after seeing the sunrise from Haleakalā, that I never returned to see the sunset from there also. Now I finally Feet like I experienced that. Also, I really hope you use that snorkeling equipment On the Big Island and also At Hanauma Bay On Oʻahu. So nice to just see the fish.
Didn’t guess you would snorkel In the crater that I al❤ways just saw from an airplane and wishing to he down there like you were. Mahalo again. The turtles were there On all the Islands. The Seals are all around On our Maine Island ledges.
Thank you for the nice video. We are going to The Big Island in September and will try to visit some of the places you visited. The ,Kona brewery look like the place we need to visit. lt looks like fun. The both of you are easy on the eye.
Aloha.. I am new to your channel and I love that you both share my home so beautifully. I now live in Las Vegas over 12 years now but, I miss home. I am unable to travel due to health reasons so Mahalo for sharing….. ALOHA
Watched your video and enjoyed to the Max. I live in Eugene Oregon and miss home a lot, so I often watch travel logs, must say enjoy yours the best. I was a Destination Travel Guide/ Incentive Planner for over 20 years till I retired in 2018. It’s been a number of years since my return. It good to see that you both enjoy our island Fusion in the island delicacies as well as the natural out of the way places to see, you also do well in your pronunciation, most people make my skin crawl. Keep up the great work, I look forward to seeing more where ever you go.
Dani, Thanks for the kind words! We try hard to pronounce things correctly but a lot of times regional dialect trips us up. We’re from the Midwest and have a tendency to be fairly lazy with pronunciation. We’re working on some fun journeys right now, hopefully they can be as interesting as our Hawaii videos!
@@AdamandMadalyn Still you do justice, compare to others that slaughter the pronunciation, it’s like they never learned their vowels. Hawaiian is fairly easy.
I always stay on STT and take day trips to STJ. The locals on STJ absolutely hate maho bay because it's been "ruined" according to them. Lol I love cinnamon bay on STJ and love hanging out in Redhook/saphire on STT. Y'all did a great job on comparing the two. 🤙🤙
Ahhhhh yeahhhhh it's so right & simply can't be wrong guys! Yeahhhhh, I'm luvin it so bad & da food was makin me hungry, even doh I alredy had me lunch before & mine was soooo gud two! Yeahhhh, Ok so gud, so right, so Hawaii! Da island in da sun & da beech & da wite sand juss near by, yeahhhhhh! Yeahhhhh so beautiful & tanks fer sharin dis awesome jornies wit us, yeahhhhh!
Your Maui itinerary was killer. 🤙 My wife and have been twice in 1 calendar year we loved it so much. We had scheduled another trip, but then we had a baby. 😂 your video made us miss Maui so much! Great video and keeping it real. It was the perfect amount of information and entertainment 👍
We took that road to Hana drive 5 years ago and it was so much fun...that huli-huli chicken is making me hungry. You guys didn't take a walk to the old pier... I want to go back there someday. The other side of Hana was like a whole different world, we almost got chased by a cow while crossing that dry river bed :-)
Thanks for sharing it was beautiful. A suggestion... Not to sound rude, but I found it difficult to watch at times with all the close ups focused on your faces and mouth while talking instead of showing the beautiful scenery. Continous close ups of chewing food and speaking with food in your mouth was distasteful.
Pls do your best research on local pronounciation of Hawaiian words, cuz you were way off and it hurt to hear. Secondly pls reduce the amount of very Close-up shots and maybe narrate the beautiful scenery. Glad you enjoyed the Islands and it’s gifts. Aloha 🤙🏽😊
@@AdamandMadalynyour being trolled. I saw nothing wrong! Your eating with your mouth closed. Nothing wrong with showing restaurants and recommendations. No different from any you tube cooking channel with them eating and talking about what they made. Thank you for showcasing Hawaii and its Islands.
I disagree. Watching their newer videos versus this one. HUGE difference. You might not care, but others do. The camera doesn’t need to be framed on their inner face while they’re eating. It’s unnecessary. I appreciate them making the changes.
We had to cancel our 2020 trip back to Maui. We haven’t been there since 2019 and oh man this video makes me miss the islands.. great video! Thanks so much for sharing your adventures with us! Also wondering what sunglasses do you have?
Just caught this video as my son and his wife just got back from HI. As i watched this (have been to HI many times-old guy), I thought what a real nice couple. Sure enough, half way through I see you are from Chicago! Our family is as well though i only spent 20 years there. Your video covers all the places i have missed in the past, so a big thanks for my next visit. Oh by the way, if you make it back to Maui, see if you can hit Mama's Fish House, my favorite, although you need to get reservations way in advance. Thanks for a great HI video and looking forward to checking our your other videos!
Hi, strange that you just mentioned Jimmy Buffet. Just heard before viewing this and traveling Pacific Islands with you, that he just passed away. He Will he missed. He liked to share as do you. 😢❤
Aloha! Loved your video! I was born and raised in Waimea and your video made me miss home. Was the burger from the Surfing Pig better than Au Cheval? Lol because Au Cheval is my favorite thus far..
Cool vid. We have been to Maui many times and Oahu twice, but never the big island .. That lava at night was the best thing to see. The rest is alot of driving to get from one hiking trail to another. One thing, most people like to see the food ordered, but not that many like to see people eat it. Also, it seems like you show slot more of you guys than the locations. It’s excellent to talk and learn about where you are, but it would nice to catch the views as you are talking. One question, loved that bungalow place in the big island, but did you see any spider in the room?
That was a great experience. Thank you for sharing. We now love Australia. Me and my team mariposa hotbabes full support for you. Visit our place when you are no longer busy. See you there.
Hi guys. I’m returning to live in Honolulu in two weeks after living there 21 years ago. Great video…bought back lots of memories! Did you run into many restrictions regarding flying your drone? I have my FAA part 107 and am looking forward to getting some nice footage! After seeing all the wonderful food, it makes me want to go back to eating meat again, lol! I have missed my Loco Moco! Thanks!
Aloha, thanks for your reply. I’ve now been back almost a year. Yes things have changed. It is certainly busier than it was 23 years ago. What drone are you using now for your footage?
I had been to Kanaapali like 4 years back. Was there only for a couple of days and did road to Hana and haleakala. It was a rush rush trip for me visiting all 4 islands. Definitely going back to check out the Big island and Maui after seeing your leisurely trip. Maybe this time I will spend a week in both. Picture quality and filming was real good. I was salivating over your food choices. It is Hawaii and needs to be done leisurely than just checking out tourist spots alone, I guess.
Baldwin beach park is one of my favorite beaches on Maui. Adam said he wouldn't swim there even though he did like the beach itself. I'm curious why. I swam there almost everyday. I went there first week of November if that makes any difference.
Great video! My wife and I are headed to Maui for our 20th anniversary in about a month and cannot wait! I had a question on the Road to Hana. When doing it all in a 1 day trip, what time slot would you recommend making a reservation for to see the Black Sand beach?
Brian…Congrats on the 20 years, what a great spot to visit to celebrate! Everything below is based on the assumption you’re doing the Road to Hana in 1 day and not staying overnight in the Hana area… Waianapanapa State Park is about 10 minutes driving time before the town of Hana. It really depends on how far you want to go on the Road past Hana, like to the lower section of Haleakala National Park. Exploring the park and doing the Pipiwai Trail in Haleakala was one of our favorite parts of our trip to Maui. That’s going to take up some time and we don’t recommend driving back on the Road to Hana in the dark. I think the goal should be get to the Twin Falls entrance before it is dark. Much easier driving from that point to wherever you’re staying once the sun is down because there are no more one way bridges and the road is a much better built highway. With no stops…I believe from the lower portion of Haleakala to Twin Falls takes 2 hours and 30 minutes, potentially up to 3 1/2 depending on traffic. The other question is how much time do you want to spend at Waianapanapa. Taking in the sight of the beach is fun, and you can definitely get in the water and bounce around for a bit. It takes a little bit of time to hike along the north side of the inlet. You could easily spend an hour or more there. My best guess would be between 10 AM and Noon. There are probably some itinerary planners out there that could give you a good estimate. When doing the road to Hana, we highly recommend an app called Gypsy Guide Road to Hana. It tracks with GPS your location, and the guide provides info along the route. You can actually just by their guide for the whole island and we found that to be incredibly helpful and informative during our time there. Hope that helps, safe travels and congrats again!
Shachi we budgeted $2500 a week. Typically accommodations were around $1800, rental car $250. Our flights were free with Southwest companion pass. Some islands we went over, others we stayed a bit under.
Eh the only thing we regretted on the entire trip was the Dole Plantation. Everything had to synced up with availability of airbnbs, hotels, rental cars, etc. Hawaii was still in safe travels
@@AdamandMadalyn yeah, syncing lodging on the islands now post covid is a mess. So many people trying to get their vacations in. Mahalo for the quick response (but I still say you should have done Oahu first :)
The content and info is good- the blurry video very close to the face takes away from being able to take in the info. Maybe keep the camera a bit further away, maybe a gimbal on a selfie stick??
Great video. But. PLEASE stop filming yourself eating. Or chew with your mouth closed. It's hard to watch but the rest of the video is SO good and even when you are talking at dinner or lunch usually it's good info so I didn't want to skip.
For one trip visiting one island we’d say Maui. That said our favorite resort area was in the Big Island so next time we go we’re going to the Big Island and Kauai (which we didnt visit this time.
Awesome! Really appreciate it! Big island is definitely the most livable and if Kilauea is erupting that’s a bonus. There are some really nice beaches on the Big Island. Oahu is the most populated and wouldn’t be our recommendation for a vacation if you’re just going to one island. Maui has great breaches, dramatic scenery (road to Hana, north shore), great little towns, and the Haleakala summit. Plus the Molokini Crater is a great excursion and if you really want to get wild you could day trip to Lanai. We would have done that plus some more hiking but Madalyn was pregnant so we took it easier.
Just my opinion Volcano house restaurant was just horrible. I was there at the end of Covid so that could be something. But the staff was inattentive and when they did pay attention to you they were dismissive and rude. Food also left me feeling disappointed!
I'm getting my wisdom teeth out tomorrow morning and I've been watching your video for 2 hours now and it's totally relaxing me and taking my mind off the surgery tomorrow. What a beautiful world God has created for us. He is AMAZING. Thank you for this video it must have been a lot of work to edit

Oh my gosh! So glad I found you guys! Love what y’all do! Love the long videos! Thank you!
Thank you!
I normally just fast forward travel video of people eating but I actually enjoyed your food stop selections.
That’s why you’re smart!
I agree that annoys me . Just show the food explain, then eat without recording.
@AdamandMadalyn he is smart just saying. Sorry your videos could be better. But you don't have to show everything you eat .

Hi guys. I’m returning to live in Honolulu in two weeks after living there 21 years ago. Great video…bought back lots of memories!
Did you run into many restrictions regarding flying your drone? I have my FAA part 107 and am looking forward to getting some nice footage!
After seeing all the wonderful food, it makes me want to go back to eating meat again, lol! I have missed my Loco Moco!
Thanks!
Mark, I followed the local laws to the best of my ability. My drone won’t let me fly in no fly zones and obviously you know about national parks
We currently live here. Kailua. The island has changed a ton... So whatever you remember, don't expect that.
Aloha, thanks for your reply. I’ve now been back almost a year. Yes things have changed. It is certainly busier than it was 23 years ago. What drone are you using now for your footage?
While in Kihei , did u all find the eateries on the way to somewhere or someone suggested or you all YELPED?
We always cross check Yelp and google for food reviews. Rarely trust TripAdvisor (tends to lean towards family friendly + value)

Just curious , but overall, how much did the trip cost (could you break down cost. food, lodging , ect) ?
Shachi we budgeted $2500 a week. Typically accommodations were around $1800, rental car $250. Our flights were free with Southwest companion pass. Some islands we went over, others we stayed a bit under.
I like renting a convertible when In Oahu. For Maui would a convertible be ok or would you suggest a jeep/SUV be better?
We really enjoyed the convertible!
Boy did you do that backwards. Oahu would be a HUGE disappointment after the other two to me.
Eh the only thing we regretted on the entire trip was the Dole Plantation. Everything had to synced up with availability of airbnbs, hotels, rental cars, etc. Hawaii was still in safe travels
@@AdamandMadalyn yeah, syncing lodging on the islands now post covid is a mess. So many people trying to get their vacations in. Mahalo for the quick response (but I still say you should have done Oahu first :)
What time of year did you visit out of interest
October
The content and info is good- the blurry video very close to the face takes away from being able to take in the info. Maybe keep the camera a bit further away, maybe a gimbal on a selfie stick??
What camera do you use?
We use a variety of cameras, iPhones, a gopro, DJI Drone and a Canon 90D
@@AdamandMadalyn very good quality, camera angles and editing skills.
Thank you!
I'm looking to buy either in Maui or Big Island.,.....Which is your choice? TY I subscribed
Big island is more livable and has more variety in our opinion, but maybe rent an Airbnb on each island for a week and decide based on your experience
Great video. But. PLEASE stop filming yourself eating. Or chew with your mouth closed. It's hard to watch but the rest of the video is SO good and even when you are talking at dinner or lunch usually it's good info so I didn't want to skip.
What time of the year did you film this?
Mid to late October
Y’all eat a lot.
Yes we do
a little short 3 weeks. I always go at least 6 weeks.
Great views very confused about where you are. You give no clue as to what island facing n s e w only the town name
Where did you stay in Maui and Oahu?
We stayed in an AIRBNB in Maui and at the Prince Waikiki on Oahu
So what island did you like the best?
For one trip visiting one island we’d say Maui. That said our favorite resort area was in the Big Island so next time we go we’re going to the Big Island and Kauai (which we didnt visit this time.
Hawai'i is full, stay home
Nah
At tinroof you said chicken thighs, then as you took a bite you said chicken breast, which was it?
Mochiko Chicken - chicken thighs
Where's Kayee-a-nayee???
What was your favorite island of these 3 ?
If you want the best combination of everything and are only visiting 1 island then it’s Maui
@@AdamandMadalyn thanks for your quick answer. Fab video btw ! Subscribed
Awesome! Really appreciate it!
Big island is definitely the most livable and if Kilauea is erupting that’s a bonus. There are some really nice beaches on the Big Island. Oahu is the most populated and wouldn’t be our recommendation for a vacation if you’re just going to one island.
Maui has great breaches, dramatic scenery (road to Hana, north shore), great little towns, and the Haleakala summit. Plus the Molokini Crater is a great excursion and if you really want to get wild you could day trip to Lanai. We would have done that plus some more hiking but Madalyn was pregnant so we took it easier.
Adam you got a beautiful wife and she love to eat!
Just my opinion Volcano house restaurant was just horrible. I was there at the end of Covid so that could be something. But the staff was inattentive and when they did pay attention to you they were dismissive and rude. Food also left me feeling disappointed!
I'm sure this is a great video but voice audio is only coming out the right side alot of the time. Super annoying to watch on headphones.

Nice video, but too much eating. I hate watching people eat.

Man the sound track is for love making.
