We have the snorkels and we're going to see if we can try to capture any on camera.
What is up members of the barrio ,it is Jon coming to you from Hilo.
And you must be asking yourself why the heck am i starting a Hawaii vlog in front of a walmart
Well i'll tell you.
Adriana and I are about to go to our first beach in Hilo.
And we needed to come with a couple of items.
So let me show you what we bought.
Water shoes, $5.00 each.
Mask and snorkel.
$10 each
We opted for the cheapest version of these two.
Was it a bad decision, i'm not so sure.
And this is the car, 35 dollars a day.
Ford Mustang off of autoslash.com
I highly recommend you use that website if you're doing a long term or short term car rental.
You ready to go?
Yes. Let's go.
Alright we're going to Carlsmith State Beach Park
So we've just arrived and one thing to keep in mind about Hilo is that unlike the west side of the Big Island
Kona for example.
Which the beaches have white sand.
Here it's a lot rockier.
A lot more pebbly.
And I think that's one of the reasons that this side of the Big Island is less popular.
Another reason is of course that Hilo is the rainiest city in the United States.
Which is why we rented a convertible of course.
Although you couldn't tell by today, in fact.
The last two days have been beautiful.
We're going to walk through this pass right here.
And check out our first beach.
Nah it can't be to far I mean..
We hear the water.
We hear people.
We made it to our first beach in Hilo.
One of the things this beach is known for is swimming turtles.
So we're going to try to capture it on the Go Pro if possible.
Wish us luck
One , two three.
No luck seeing the turtles on our first attempt.
Did run into like a bunch of kids over there.
We're thinking after we go back after eating lunch.
We could get a chance to film them.
I hope.
And now a cheap way to eat lunch in Hawaii.
Just pack it for a picnic.
Sandwiches. Carrots.
And what's this.
More sandwiches.
That folks right there is a sea turtle.
The turtles coming for you, he's coming he's coming.
So you happy you finally got to see the turtles?
Yeah.
And we have to thank the life guard for telling us the turtles were back.
Thank you for telling us they came right up to us.
That was really cool.
Our first beach day has come to an end and I was actually pleasantly surprised by
Carlsmith Beach
Or it's also known as four mile beach here.
The turtles are just swimming around. It's pretty shallow.
There's lifeguards here.
Lots of parking.
Bring a picnic lunch.
Totally cool daytime activity here in Hilo.
And I think we've just scratched the surface on the types of activities that we are going to be getting ourselves into.
Over the next month.
