I could just keep doing this all day.

(ethereal music)
The island of Kauai is breathtakingly beautiful.
It has provided an unforgettable cinematic backdrop
to some of Hollywood's most iconic films.
I could easily read off a list that spans a mile long.
When it comes to the most timeless moment caught on camera,
I don't think any of us will ever forget the arrival
to Jurassic Park.
That's my official Kauai Jurassic Park shirt
with the rooster.
By now we all know that
Steven Spielberg's dinosaur masterpiece is my favorite film.
However, did you also know that it is YouTube star
Devinsupertramp's favorite as well?
What's going on guys?
It's another day off for the Brave Wilderness team.
And you're probably saying to yourselves day off?
You're filming an episode.
Of course we're filming an episode.
An on location episode where we will be going out
with Island Helicopter Tours.
Only today it's gonna be a little bit different
because I have my friend Devin Graham with me.
You may recognize him from the Devinsupertramp channel
on YouTube.
And today's extra special because
we both love Jurassic Park.
- This is true.
Here we go.
- With nearly a billion views on his channel,
that originate from some of YouTube's most epic videos.
Devin is arguably the best cinematographer on the platform.
So working along side him
was nothing short of an honor.
(high energy music)
- Part of your tour is over the beautiful
Napali coast line today.
So you're flying over the ocean for a short period of time.
So the FAA requires that a flotation device be worn
around your waist like a fanny pack
during the entire flight.
That's what this little yellow pouch is.
I'm gonna have everybody gear up.
We're not gonna pull on the orange tab today or ever.
That is only for emergencies.
And I will help you, just hold that.
- Devin don't pull the orange tab.
- [Devin] These are kinda stylish.
- Oh yeah.
This is the new fanny pack.
It can also save your life.
- [Instructor] The new fanny pack.
- Okay guys so we have these little booties on our feet
to make sure that we keep the environment clean
when we get down there at the landing pad.
Wooo!
Captain Gary is firing up the bird over there.
I can see that rotor spinning.
It's go time.
- [Man] Getting excited?
- Oh yeah!
We have also teamed up with Island Helicopters.
Kauai's only permitted outfitter that has permission to land
at one of the most breathtaking locations
featured in Jurassic Park.
The waterfall.
(dramatic music)
Get ready because this episode of on location
is going to be an adventure 65 million years in the making.
Alright guys well I'm pretty much set and ready to go,
but I've got some bad news.
I was just told inside,
you get major motion sickness
if you are inside of a helicopter.
Anytime I'm on a boat, I'm hanging over the railing
spilling my lunch into the sea.
So I apologize in advance if this turns into a puke video.
- I think that's us back there, you see that?
- [Coyote] Is that our bird?
- [Devin] I think that's our bird.
- Sweet!
Woo this is exciting, my first time on a helicopter.
This is epic!
As we loaded into the helicopter
the excitement was through the roof.
And before we knew it
the bird was lifting off and the adventure was underway.
- [Coyote] Wooooo!
(laughing)
- [Devin] Oh my God.
- Our natural instincts as video makers set in.
And everyone was doing their best to capture the landscape
through the eyes of their respective cameras.
But the ride was so intense
it was almost impossible to do anything
other than hold on.
Wooo!
The Jurassic Falls Landing is Kauai's most elite tour.
And getting to the touch down location
takes you on an incredible bird's eye view of the island.
Gary zigged and zagged through the canyons.
Getting the helicopter breathtakingly close to the tree tops
as we buzzed above the beautiful landscape.
And while it may seem incredibly dangerous
Gary has decades of experience and thousands of flights
under his belt.
So we felt completely safe with our lives in his hands.
Then just when the ride couldn't be any more epic
the falls revealed themselves.
There it is.
Whooo!
- Dude!
- Whoo!
I almost started crying when that music came on.
That was great!
- [Man] What you think of that Coyote?
- Whoo!
I didn't get motion sick at all.
I was just blown away with the scenery.
Got an amazing pilot over here.
Gary absolutely nailed that landing.
Wow.
(dramatic music)
- So this is where they filmed Jurassic Park.
We're both massive Jurassic Park fans.
This is what made me want to make movies.
So this place is a massive deal for me.
It's in the movie where they land the helicopter
and they all get out.
So this is the entrance to Jurassic Park.
- [Man] How about that chopper ride, man?
- I've been on about 50 helicopter rides
and I've never flown that close to the land, that fast,
through waterfalls.
Everything was right there.
My adrenaline was going for sure.
We do a lot of crazy extreme stuff.
So, livin' it up.
- [Man] That was good.
Yeah man, we came within, I'm gonna say 20 feet
of that one cliff.
You were like "oh my God."
- Yeah I honestly think I pooped myself a little there.
(man laughs)
- Is this the falls up here?
- [Man] Yeah.
- So this is probably the road that they drove the classic
Jurassic Park jeeps down.
Those awesome Saharas that were all decked out in
Jurassic Park logos.
That I so desperately want one of those.
I think this was the pathway they then drove off of to get
into the main course of the park on.
- We're in the middle of nowhere.
So there's no way they could have driven to this spot.
They would have had to like fly them in.
- They must have helicoptered in the jeeps
to get these shots.
And that's the coolest thing about movie sets.
It's all about how you stitch the pieces, parts together
like a big puzzle.
So they shot one thing here and Steven Spielberg
and the crew definitely walked right through this area.
It's so cool to step foot in the same place
as these legends.
Wow, look at this!
Holy mackerel!
- [Devin] What?
- Come on.
Come on.
Are you serious?
Woo hoo hoo.
That must be where it was built right there.
The was the original landing pad.
You can see some of the structure that still exists.
Helicopter came straight down the falls.
Wooo!
This is probably the most epic spot that I've ever visited,
certainly for an on location episode.
(epic music)
Alright guys well this is it, Jurassic Falls.
I cannot tell you what it feels like
to be in this exact spot,
where the helicopter in the film came and touched down
and the crew got out and experienced Jurassic Park
for the first time.
I mean this is a movie that for me as a kid, inspired me.
Made me want to make films.
How about you Devin?
- It changed my life, like no exaggeration.
So being on the location is next level.
The mist, the water, you feel it all.
The sounds and yeah this is in real life.
- What's incredible is the energy you can feel
radiating from this spot.
So I imagine as the crew stepped out of the helicopter.
I'll never forget the look on Sam Neill's face
when he stepped out,
looking at what was to be Jurassic Park.
What it must have been like
to be part of that crew making it,
not knowing that this movie was gonna be
one of greatest films ever in cinema history.
And it started right at this spot.
Woo! That's amazing.
- Right here, right here.
- Trying to just get as many shots as we can.
We still have to get back to the helicopter here
and buzz all around the island
but I wish I could go out there and swim.
They don't let you do that,
but it looks beautiful out there.
You can feel all the mist coming off of the falls.
Devin's down here just getting some shots.
(water overpowers voice)
This stuff is gonna look epic!
(waterfalls rushing)
- We have 20 minutes here and you could spend all day here.
So this is like a love hate relationship
because I could be here all day.
So you gotta do what you gotta do.
We are off.
(pretend crying)
- Awwww.
- I feel like John Hammond at the end.
When he had to leave the park
after the T-Rex ate the raptors.
- We're rushing.
We could stay there all day, like easy, no problem.
But there's another heli that's trying to land.
We kinda pushed our limit.
So everyone's getting in and we're off.
- Okay guys so Gary is actually gonna take us to the falls.
We're gonna slowly drop down
just like the helicopter did in the movie.
This is gonna be something else.
(thoughtful music)
That's crazy!
And we are off continuing the tour.
Last time, a trip around the island, in the canyons.
I'm gonna turn the camera this way.
You guys are gonna want to see this.
(upbeat music)
Now I know what it feels like to be a drone.
This is epic!
- Ohhhh.
- Since its release in the summer of 1993
Jurassic Park has continued to captivate the imaginations
of anyone who has seen the movie.
Just like Devin and I, we have seen it more times
than we can count.
For the two of us, traveling by helicopter
and getting the incredible chance to land at Jurassic Falls
was a dream come true.
And I have a feeling that this won't be the last time
we see the Brave Wilderness team working alongside YouTube's
greatest cinematographer Devinsupertramp.
We made it.
- Wooo!
- Well we have landed.
Nobody threw up in the helicopter.
- Almost. - Even me.
- I know you're feeling a little queasy right now.
- I didn't think I would at all,
but I'm still a little iffy, give or take.
- All I know is that this felt like an adventure
65 million years in the making.
Devin thank you so much for coming out with us today.
I'm sure you got some epic shots.
We got epic shots.
And stay tuned guys because I have a feeling
that there are some more Jurassic sized adventures to come
for both me and Devin.
I'm Coyote Peterson.
Be brave, stay wild.
We'll see you on the next location.
Whoo!
- Over and out.
