We just got back from 8 Days on the Big Island. We stayed at the Courtyard by Marriott King Kamehameha and loved it there simply because it was so centrally located. Many of the excursions leave from the pier right outside of the courtyard by Marriott. We were able to walk to many of the local restaurants and to the shopping as well. We rented a Jeep for the week and were able to go to the top of MaunaKea and we were able to drive over to volcano national Park in about an hour and 35 minutes and enjoyed the beautiful scenery between Kailua Kona and Hilo❤️❤️❤️

As a local boy born and raised on the Big Island you did a good job showing the main locations to see. Good job!

You 2 are the best. Seem like a lot of fun. Happy I found your videos today.
I saw my wife and I hanging with you at the Kona brew pub having a great time, in my mind.lol. Your Big Islands Vids are spot on.
I have Birthday trip planned after Thanksgiving for a week..I lived in Honolulu for a year way back when it was cool.Been to the islands 30 times at least since.Been to 5 islands, a few many times.
I only do the Big Island anymore.Hilton Waikoloa was very good a few years ago. This time though we are going to hang 1st in Kona town and walk around everywhere from The Royal Kona.I Just wish to chill for a while before heading North to the Westin for a couple of big $$ nights.Funny I also LOVE Hapuna Bay and the waterand sites, views there. Years ago while there, I looked up at the Hotel and I said someday I will stay there so I hope I cross that off my list soon.
To end the trip, Paradise sounded great so a VRBO in Kapa'au and a few day in old Hawaii...Hawi and a trip to the end of the HWY. Can't wait to watch some more of your Travels. Thank You !!

Best hotel in Hilo... Dolphin Bay Hotel. Small, family-owned, walking distance to downtown. A great place to stay!

[Striker]

Thanks guys for sharing! Awesome video! I love the Big island. I don't think I can get tired of it. Absolutely gorgeous place.

Waikoloa village is a amazing location. Lots of condo rentals available for families and a great base camp for Island 🏝 adventures. 20 min the the airport, 30 min to Kona.

Truly beautiful (which doesn’t describe it 100%)

Hilo.
I've visited 2x, large family group 6-10. Rented a house, worked great get up early, have a cup of coffee, cold cereal, make a lunch and GO. Everyone at their own pace.

Great video. I vacationed many times out on the Big Island. I think there is no better place🌞🌺

[marshaferguson]

Hi guys, nice video....but a couple FYI Mauna Kea is not prounced Mauna Keya...it is Mauna Kaya and Ka'u is not cow, it is Ka oo

[EONE]

Aloha~ nice video tour, can you recommend any tour company on big island for grand circle tour for local kamaainas from oahu... mahalo!

[johnmc]

Hey, great video. I am presently planning a vacation for my wife and myself with 10 days on the B I and 10 days in Waikiki. I am not sure if you have any Videos on Waikiki was thinking of the Hilton Embassy Suites. Can I get you thoughts on this or can you please refer me to one of your videos on this. For the B I, we were thinking of Royal Kona as we like to get out each day for shopping, walking etc and Royal Kona seems to be very close to lots of shops, restaurants etc. We will be renting a car. Your review of Kingsland by Hilton is intriguing, is there a lot of shopping and local walkable site seeing very nearby? Your comments will be very valuable to me. I have subscribed now and look forward to more videos. Mahalo

We first visited Big Island in 1996, and stayed at the Hilton Waikoloa Village. We loved it then and loved it when we returned again last year, for our 25th Anniversary.

Great content. How is the weather in the month of Feb - March? temp, rain, wind, i.e. - Also from the westin hotel, how far of a drive to see volcanos

[deanne]

You didn't say anything about That's where I will have my next

[fernowtoo]

We travel to the Big Island a lot. We recommend people go to Maui instead. Wink. Wink.

[losinsolitos]

Hello Great video, If we are planning to go mainly to Kilauea and national volcanoe park is better to stay in HILO? Which airport is closer? Thanks

[jenniferh]

Waimea is unusual. It is beautiful for sure but (IMO) if you aren't an avid hiker, those beautiful places are hard to access. We stayed at a highly-rated B and B in that area but were disappointed. Would love to hear any specific recs for places to stay up North!

[janetcarpenter]

Thanks for the info. I live in Volcano and am researching places for visiting relatives to stay in Kona (I never get over there! Ha!). Just an FYI...Ka'u is pronounced "Kah oo" and not "cow". Good job on your video!

[cindywollenschlaeger]

No mention of the Mauna Kea hotel! Way better than Hāpuna Westin
