this hike right here is the coolest hike i've done
i'm not sure how anything else could beat views like this
so i'm like a monkey stand right now
6 10 am here in Kauai and this is my first day here. Got to my hostel late at night which is that
building behind me, if you can see it over there and I just woke up because of a f***ing rooster
this is supposed to be the most beautiful island but it's also supposed to be the one
with the most chickens. Definitely more excited about the former than the latter i'd say
kauai is also the rainiest island in all of hawaii which is why it's called the garden island. It's
pouring already so i'm gonna have to wait a little bit longer to go out and get my morning coffee
it's been a super busy day in terms of grad school work. I didn't really get to leave this area or see
much. So today i'm just gonna have some beers this evening because it's a Friday with my new
roommates who are keen on having a few drinks and then tomorrow and the day after are gonna
be big days. I'm gonna wake up at four and try to do a bunch of hikes and see the best of Kauai in
like two or three days
that was the first time i made a video it's 4 50 am and we're heading to the
sleeping giant trailhead this is david. Hi I'm David
this is the earliest i've woken up in a while
did you climb up?
David: No I am here (from the other side)
I'm pretty much a plant
we're at the end of the sleeping giant or the Nou Nou trail
7 08 am so even though we left early we somehow missed the sunrise by an hour i think
that had to do with us getting lost for a bit in the dark and then i climbed to the other peak
over there and saw david standing on here had to come back here
you know yo it's crazy even the
like the non-sketchy hike in hawaii are still kinda sketchy for anywhere else
it's 10 45 a.m. Huge day coming up with a lot of hikes in the Waimea state canyon and
the koke state park. I just got myself a new car which might be a little too fancy for me
definitely a big change from the pickup truck I was driving in Maui
so I'm in Waimea canyon state park about to start my second hike of the day
to this place called waipo'o falls
okay so this spot is [ __ ] sick. Got some ridiculous views and some ridiculous drops
Gunny part is i met my friend Jackie from Maui right here. And she's on a tinder date with this guy
say hi. this is a video. I don't know why you're sitting down for a video
and uh i just ran into her
okay so for the third stop today i drove in all the way into Koke state park to this lookout
point called the Pu'u o Kila lookout point if i'm pronouncing that right
i don't know what to expect but turns out it's this ridge which is literally over the clouds
like those are clouds behind me i think the coolest part was that
there was a rainbow going over the ridge
and it was like kind of low so it looked like the ridge was going through the rainbow
but now i'm going to move on to the final spot of the day which is supposed to be the
coolest. I think it's the Kalalau lookout point
and there's supposed to be a pretty cool hike there which is also short which is exactly what i like
the kalalau lookout's supposed to be one of the best views in hawaii
and i can totally see why people say that
if you do end up doing this trail please be safe. This one's a little wild
kind of like the ones in oahu where there's like several thousand feet drop-offs across the ridge
so I've been thinking about this for the last 10 or 20 minutes. I think this hike right here is the
coolest hike I've done in Hawaii so far. I'm not sure how anything else could be views like this
third sunrise in Kauai and of course i got
woken up by the roosters. I'm gonna head to Poipu beach now and check that out
it's 2 45 pm and we're at the start of the Kalalau trail which is
supposed to be the coolest trail in hawaii and one of the prettiest trails in the world
obviously we're not going to do the whole thing because it's 11 miles each way and takes multiple
days but we're gonna hike from the beach at the entrance where.. (David yelling) NADIR
yeah I'm here talking to my camera
hey aloha
what's the first beach called? Ke'e. Ke'e and the second one is the hard to pronounce right?
Hanakapiai
Hanakapiai . That one's like three miles away. That's where half of us are going
it's getting wet and slippery although it's not rained yet. It's getting more
green too and I've definitely lost my hiking buddy: the girl I came with from the hostel
Hey stranger: Hey
sorry yeah i figured i'd lose her at some point because she has
longer legs and walks a lot faster but NOT in the first 20 minutes or so
how are you feeling?
I'm feeling good. That was dope
it's 11 40 a.m. and one hour and 30 minutes till I catch my next flight
uh the last day has been crazy right after going on that kalalau trail I realized that my phone
was gone so it was kind of hectic
update my phone is gone
he's gonna be okay
i don't know how the rest of the travel plans will work but i mean everything's gonna be
fine but it's just
those of you follow this channel: this is the new nice phone that i got after i lost my phone
on the other hike in Oahu a month ago. So it was crazy had to go to a Walmart
and uh get a really cheap phone for 80 I didn't even know they sell smartphones for that cheap
and the craziest part is even after all that I almost just missed my flight because I was
trying to get an uber from my hostel like 40 minutes ago and there were no ubers in that
area. So it's something to keep in mind when you're traveling during a pand you can't
count on an uber. There's no one at the hostel too. So i just ended up going out to the streets
and hitchhiking and met this like cool surfer dude named Forest and a pickup. (He) just gave me a
ride and i just gave him 30 bucks to drive me to the airport and he was really nice about it
but yeah i think i got everything figured out Ready to go on to the next island and i think I'm
going to end the vlog over here. If you liked it like it if you have any questions about visiting
kawaii let me know in the comments and i'll get back to you as soon as i can if you like content

i just want run on top of the clouds you guys wanna anything about the drive up here ?

of course it's a t-rex
