- Like, the landscape here in Kauai is so different
to the other islands.
It's red rock.
- [Stephen] Literally look at these views
that we are seeing right here.
Wow.
- That is so epic.
(gasps)
Do you see the waterfalls down there?
Is it picking up on camera?
I keep trying to tell Stephen
that he needs to enjoy these moments
where we can just go out into the pool,
no worries at all.
- Aloha. - Aloha, everybody,
and welcome back to Hawaii.
If you're just tuning in,
we're currently exploring the islands out here,
and we just flew in from the big island,
and we've arrive in Kauai.
- So, planning this trip to Hawaii,
our goal was to visit three very different islands,
and the first one, the big island,
that was very rugged, volcanic, mountainous,
and very big, and now,
we've only been maybe 30 minutes here in Kauai,
and it is so green, so lush.
It feels like we've landed
just inside the middle of a jungle,
and we can't wait to start exploring,
but first, when we arrived,
we got our rental car, and we just checked in
to Koloa Landing, and when we arrived,
they actually gave us leis.
They even gave Stephen a male lei.
- I didn't know this was a thing,
but this is the male version,
and it's kinda cool that, when we checked in,
they just gave this to us.
- But I want to show you guys around
because they actually gave us a two-bedroom apartment,
which I was like, what?
But hey, we both have our own bedrooms.
(Stephen laughs)
But I'll show you around.
When we were looking at a place to stay,
I wanted to make sure we stayed
at a hotel that was more like an apartment.
So we have our own kitchen,
we have our own washing machine and dryer,
and we've got a pool.
- [Stephen] That is definitely happening
every day that we are here in Kauai.
- So you come through here,
we have a full living room.
There's Stephen with a (laughs)
Stephen with a bag.
Then we have a fully-stocked kitchen.
We have an oven, a microwave,
a blender, a coffee maker, a toaster, a stove top.
- And as you can see,
they spared no expense with the size of this place,
and here is our bedroom, the main bedroom.
Deciding if I get this one, or Jess gets this one.
- [Jessica] Show the bathroom in this one.
That's why this one's my one.
(Stephen laughs)
- This is the huge bathroom.
So we have a bath just here, vanity for him,
vanity for her, and also a huge shower as well.
- They also left us chocolate-covered macadamia nuts.
- [Stephen] Oh, yum.
- I know, I feel like these are Hawaiian, right?
- [Stephen] Yeah, since 1927.
- Yeah, ages they've been making these.
I have to try this.
Then, if you come through here,
this is the second bedroom.
This is great if you're coming
with friends or family.
You can all just stay in one place,
but still have enough room.
- As we always say, Claire, where are you?
And Jess said it perfectly.
I feel like we're currently in an Adam Sandler movie.
You know when he's like,
I just want to go on vacation,
so he writes the whole script
around just going to somewhere beautiful,
that's what this place feels like.

So, we just were on the way to dinner,
and we found a pre-dinner snack.
- They have s'mores right out in the resort.
- Which is pretty good.
I don't know if I should be having--
Nah, there's no question.
We should be having this before dinner.
- Yeah, it's like an entree, right?
- I am finally trying a poke,
and they've presented this so nicely.
It's like an ahi with ginger on top of rice.
- [Jessica] You all told us that we have to try this.
Unfortunately, it is raw fish,
so only Stevie can go for it,
but I'm very jealous right now.
- [Stephen] Oh, okay, sorry for the presentation.
- [Jessica] Gotta get a bit of everything.
Oh no.
Oh my gosh, I'm so jealous.
- [Stephen] Aw, there's avo on here.
You would love this, Jess.
(Jessica laughs)
- [Jessica] He smashed that up.
Get a nice bit of it.
- Okay, that's gonna do.
It looked cool.
- [Jessica] Go for it.
- Mm.
Is this bad to say it just tastes
like I'm having sushi?
- [Jessica] Yeah, it is like sushi.
- Really good, wow.
How has it taken us this long to try it?
- [Jessica] And chocolate lava cake.
Anticlimactic.
Where's the goo?
(soft bluesy music)
- [Stephen] Watching our first sunset here in Kauai.
So nice.
♪ Ooh ♪
(rooster crows)
- There's, like, 20 of them.
- [Stephen] I think because they found
where all the food happens.
- Yeah, but you never see wild chickens.
I think, what happened was,
when they say that there was a hurricane,
and then all the chickens got released,
and then they've become from domesticated to wild.
- [Stephen] Yeah, reverse domesticated,
they called it, didn't it?
- So the islands are just covered in chickens,
but we've come out to a really popular spot for breakfast.
It's called Little Fish Coffee,
and we've grabbed ourselves some bagels
'cause I feel like bagels
in America taste so good.
Not the same as Australia.
- [Stephen] That's one thing they do really well here.
- Oh my, look at that bagel.
(soft bluesy music)
- [Stephen] Yum.

First stop on our little road trip
around the island, Waimea National Park.
- [Jessica] Gonna be against that red rock.
- So this is kinda cool.
We're just driving out to the lookout,
and we just saw this red rock,
almost just bright red,
with a waterfall going through it,
and it looks so unique
that we just had to quickly pull over the car.
- Like, the landscape here in Kauai is so different
to the other islands.
It's red rock.
- Yeah, are we in Northern Territory right now?
Like, look at this.
(water gurgles)
Wow, I can totally see why this area, Waimea, is known
as the Grand Canyon of Hawaii.
Literally, look at these views
that we are seeing right here,
and just in the distance over there,
you can see a waterfall just peaking
out of that luscious green jungle.
I definitely don't want to take away
from the Grand Canyon, 'cause that is a must see,
but here, in Hawaii, I think because it's quite compact,
like, the Grand Canyon, sometimes,
it can be so big that it all just blends into one,
but here, you can just see all these cliff drops.
We've seen a helicopter out there,
and it is so small,
and it really puts into perspective
just how big this place is.
- Okay, guys, I think we've worked out a hack.
If you're coming out to the canyon,
just down the road, we stopped off at the lookout,
and you have to pay $5 for your vehicle to park,
and of course, the lookout there was breathtaking,
but we've just realized, if you drive just two
or three minutes down the road and stop,
you'll see an epic little hidden lookout
overlooking the waterfall for free,
so we're gonna go check that out.
(soft electronic music)
- I know on the camera that it looks just as far away,
the waterfall, as the lookout is,
but here, it is way closer.
You can just see this fog coming through.
As with all the islands, we found out, here in Hawaii,
the weather can change like that.
Luckily, it's not rainy, and it's just fog,
and it has this little eeriness to it.
It's super cool.
Aw, look at this.
The blanket of fog has covered the road.
- [Jessica] It's like a movie.
Oh my goodness, this fog.
Well, we are at a lookout.
- [Stephen] Is that what it says?
I can't read it.
(Jessica laughs)
So here's the amazing view.
(laughs)
Think we might have to hang out here
for a couple minutes.
- Hopefully, it goes away soon.
- [Stephen] Yeah, because this is meant
to be the most beautiful view
when it actually does clear.
- [Jessica] Oh my gosh.
- [Stephen] Wow.
- That is so epic.
(gasps)
Do you see the waterfalls down there?
Is it picking up on camera?
- [Stephen] Kinda, yeah.
- Oh my gosh.
- We waited half an hour. - Seeing this place
in a helicopter would be insane,
but the forecast, I don't think's, good enough.
Oh my.
It's kinda coming back.
Wow.
- [Stephen] Look at that, guys.
- This is, like, one of the coolest islands I've ever seen.
(Stephen laughs)
Wow.
- [Stephen] Someone's getting excited.
- [Jessica] Yeah, but can they see what we can see?
- Wow, guys, this is the kind of picture perfect
postcard shot. - It's called
the Na Pali Coast.
- Na Pali Coast, and wow, absolutely incredible.
The fog is just clearing.
Little bit of rain,
so I can almost see a bit of a rainbow as well.
(sighs)
This is so beautiful.
- I want to see this by boat.
- [Stephen] I know, but.
- They don't let pregnant people on boats.
- [Stephen] What's in there?
(laughs)
- You can kinda see it now.
I am so glad we waited for the fog to lift,
because the views from there were unreal.
I've never seen anything like it.
Like, it really looks like you've stepped
in Jurassic Park, and unfortunately,
we're only here in Kauai for two days,
and both days, all the helicopter tours have been canceled
because of the weather, but I have heard
that, if you can do a helicopter ride
or a cruise, like a boat ride,
over the Na Pali Coast, it looks breathtaking,
but, if you are pregnant and come to Kauai,
just so you know, the waters can get quite rough,
so they don't let any expectant mothers
to go on any of the cruises
because the water can get quite bumpy and rough, but wow.
At least I got to see it,
like, the littlest bit of it, from this viewpoint.
- [Stephen] Hey, another reason to come back.
- True.
(waves gargle)
I keep trying to tell Stephen
that he needs to enjoy these moments
where we can just go out into the pool,
no worries at all.
- Hee-hee, hi, moms.
So you come out to the pool area, and we--
(grunts and laughs)
Hello.
- So cold though.
- How pregnant are you?
(groans)
- Almost seven months.
- I'm kidding.
We come out to the pool,
and this resort is humongous.
- [Jessica] It's got three pools.
- [Stephen] Three pools.
- Has water slides.
You should go down now.
(lively orchestral music)
(Stephen shouts)
- [Stephen] Guys, we've been here all afternoon.
- I feel like, when the weather doesn't really go your way,
you just go chill in the pools
and have some drinks.
- [Stephen] Yeah, they do a local drink here.
- What is it?
Like, rum and sugarcane or something?
- [Stephen] I think so.
- Mine's just.
- [Stephen] Double the rum.
- Double the rum.
(Stephen laughs)
Cheers.
- [Stephen] Cheers, and it comes with a little pineapple.
It tastes like
what an Adam Sandler vacation movie tastes like.
- And because of the bad weather,
there's absolutely no one in the pool,
so it's just us.
- It's all cleared up, to be honest.
Got it to ourselves.

Our official first day here in Kauai,
and we've heard it is a very wet island,
one of the wettest places in the world, they say,
and we can confirm that it is very wet,
so what do we do when it's wet?
We find a place that does really good fish tacos.

Fish tacos.
Yum.
- We just were walking along the road,
saw a very popular taco spot.
There's so many taco places here,
and I was like, Steve, we should try at least one,
so we got three different types of tacos,
and we are loving the food here in Kauai.
- [Stephen] We love this island.
- We're currently staying in the south of the island,
and today, we've decided to come up to the north shore.
This is where all the best beaches are,
and after driving around the island,
it only took us an hour, by the way,
to get from the bottom to the top,
and I really feel like this island,
it's stuck in the '50s or '60s.
All the places look really old,
but really cool and beach-y.
- [Stephen] It's kind of like vintage,
but that fits the island.
- Surf-y vintage.
- [Stephen] Yeah, like Beach Boys, Elvis Hawaii type stuff.

- See, it was raining over in the north shore,
we decided to drive over to the east for dessert,
and we found a little food truck selling shave ice,
a guy singing some live music,
and yeah, it's a good way to spend the day.
- [Stephen] I think so,
especially 'cause it's made out of an '80s caravan.
- It looks so cool.
I got the Wailua Sunrise, pineapple and orange,
and I may have added ice cream.
- We run away from the rain
to get some frozen rain.
I don't even know why I'm having this shaved ice.
Last time I had this, well, you guys remember.
- [Jessica] Stephen's dying right now
