1:20
me shall you got a plane flying above
1:24
that's the flight path that we came in
1:25
when we made our Ascension and touchdown
1:29
here in a wahoo Hawaii I believe this is
1:32
a wedding chapel right
1:34
here I'm glad I'm wearing this big
1:36
brimmed hat because the sun is out in
1:38
full
1:40
effect now even though it is Friday the
1:42
13th after post Halloween I kind of put
1:45
away all the all the Eerie creepy
1:49
things and I focus on the holidays went
1:51
to Alaska where I really kind of Dove R
1:54
into the Christmas
1:55
feels it doesn't really feel like
1:57
Christmas here but trust me it's
2:00
December there are four of these little
2:02
lagoons right in this General vicinity
2:04
of the beach so this is the first one
2:07
they continue down the shoreline here in
2:09
coina and there are two different
2:12
versions of this little canoe when I
2:15
think of this canoe these type of canoe
2:17
boats obviously I think of
2:19
Moana similar to the style that she
2:22
had Alon has one
2:25
and you can also pay for the four
2:28
seasons one of course I'm staying in the
2:30
so I chose the olani one it is an extra
2:32
charge it's not complimentary see it's
2:34
making its way through the little rocky
2:36
terrain
2:42
there heading right towards the
2:50
shore that is oh that's cool they blow
2:50
the little
2:53
what just to clear a path they blow the
2:57
little horn which I'm I don't know I
2:59
haven't seen it yet but I'm assuming it
3:01
is made out of seashell it's a seashell
3:04
horn
3:11
right there it is pull it
3:11
up so these only run today till 12:30 so
3:15
I had to book the 12:30 I was going to
3:16
try to do one a little later in the day
3:18
but they don't do one later in the
3:29
day so the last one is at :30 check in
3:29
15 minutes prior to that this is such a
3:32
great spot look at this this
3:34
is just beautiful this little grass
3:37
section right here just
3:45
amazing right here overlooking the
3:45
Cove this is a great spot overlooking
3:47
the resort down there great
3:51
angle pulling the boat
3:54
ashore very very Scenic and beautiful
3:57
nice little breeze in the air
4:01
nice little breeze love
4:19
it ah relaxing
4:22
moments I'm talking about bird
4:31
got the flip-flops on today no Crocs
4:31
with
4:33
socks just because I have to get on the
4:37
little canoe walk out into the water so
4:39
socks would definitely not be a good
4:40
choice temperature currently at 10:30
4:43
78° in
4:46
coalina pretty
4:48
consistently lows of 72 73 the next few
4:51
days and has been the last few days and
4:54
highs of 80 it's pretty much 80° every
4:56
day that's that's the standard here
4:58
never been over to this section before
4:59
so just walk this direction and
5:02
obviously there is a well-worn path here
5:05
through the
5:07
shrubs
5:09
plants and look at these
5:12
waves crashing up there against those
5:29
oh I hear birds up
5:32
there I hear
5:34
birds talk to me bird talk to
5:44
me all
5:44
right I hear
5:47
you a good to see you
5:50
too all right just kind of wandering
5:52
around the hallways of the resort a lot
5:54
of people checking in now because the
5:56
weekend is upon us we checked in a
5:57
couple days ago so wasn't as busy we
6:00
were checking we checked in a little
6:01
later at night but because it is Friday
6:03
and the weekend is like rearing its head
6:05
there's a lot of people showing up so
6:07
the resort should be probably pretty
6:08
packed the next series of days I'm
6:10
looking at this little wooden Mickey up
6:13
here I'm just kind of there's also a lot
6:15
of little hidden tiis all around the
6:18
inside and maybe even the outside of the
6:20
property little carb tiis that are
6:24
everywhere just countless ones I didn't
6:26
really notice them till the other day
6:27
and then I saw a little sign saying that
6:29
they were hidden all over the place I
6:31
don't know how many Hidden Mickey there
6:33
are but there's definitely a lot of lot
6:34
of hidden tiis scattered around you just
6:37
every time I'm every time I'm here again
6:39
I was here last year for a week and this
6:41
year for a little over will be here for
6:43
a little over a week I feel like every
6:45
day I notice something new and enjoy
6:48
something I didn't know that was here to
6:50
enjoy each
6:53
time should also mention not only are
6:55
there the hidden tikis but Joe Ro who
6:58
designed animal K om also was a big part
7:02
of Designing this entire
7:04
place of Alani so there are a lot of
7:08
hidden
7:09
animals scattered all
7:12
through also again I love how large this
7:15
porch is for the Jad Villa but all down
7:18
here in the mountain SL volcano a little
7:22
hidden kind of like the Tree of Life at
7:24
Animal
7:25
Kingdom similar to that there are a
7:27
bunch of animals carved into the sun
7:29
side of the the Rocks over there and
7:32
it's almost time to head back down mom
7:34
and I are going to do the boat
7:41

9:45
by sometimes you can spot a little black
9:48
baham CR running around here kind of
9:51
look like little black spiders running
9:53
around on the water level of the
9:56
ls that's one of the first signs of life
10:12
got to see them scurrying around there
10:12
on the water's
10:14
edge those are anible species of crab
10:17
that you can eat right off the RO you
10:20
don't even really have to cook
10:26
them
10:26
crabs look at there there goes the
10:28
resort quite a few things stuck to the
10:30
Rock there that you look at that wave
10:32
look at that oh just like the
10:35
movie Nobody Knows be on the
10:39
reef you guys now that we're out here
10:41
you can feel free to move around get the
10:44
land View
11:08
look how blue this water
11:08
is
11:23
something yeah heard a
11:23
few oh my gosh we're like on a wave
11:25
right
11:26
now look at the waves coming by us guys
11:29
look at the wave
11:34
beautiful hold
11:41
on oh that's cool that's a solid one
11:42
footer so you can imagine what a
11:43
three-footer
12:03
stop we going out here I'm going far
12:03
than I thought we were going to
12:25
of coming in and out of this Harbor you
12:25
got the oil tankers sometimes you'll see
12:27
in the morning those huge looking Ships
12:30
coming through the buoys right there as
12:33
well as some sailboats that do snorkel
12:34
tours Sunset Tours they're alling right
12:38
over
12:40
here we got a butterfly trying to make
12:43
it to to that's a new one butterfly yeah
12:47
where they talk about ocean
12:50
animals maybe he's trying to
13:05
Turtles yes we'll see
13:05
turtles I hope so I think so we're going
13:09
to try
13:35
so besides the engine the only nuts and
13:35
bolts on this entire thing are just on
13:37
the engine everything else is tied with
13:57
rope okay well it look like I'm doing
13:57
okay are you doing okay
14:05
SI easier than you thought it would
14:05
be not that comfortable your father
14:08
would
14:15
never never there's buoys over there are
14:15
markers the ships know how deep it is
14:17
they were saying that past the second
14:18
set of booies which are out there
14:20
there's no need for
14:23
depth markers because it just gets so
14:26
incredibly deep right now we're at about
14:27
20 to 30 ft that visitors to the island
14:30
wouldn't be able to see it CU back then
14:33
everybody would come and say in YTP and
14:36
YTP is way over there but again as we're
14:39
developing really quickly we're seeing a
14:41
lot more visitors coming over here to
14:43
but you can't even tell you're
14:45
right those wav
14:53
crash dang that's cool right on the wall
14:53
look at those blaves CR from
15:23
you not
15:23
much can the way back over there behind
15:27
those big white walls
15:36
every time I see items like that I think
15:36
can make it
15:49
got at the
15:49
top all way to the very with that last
15:52
building talking about the power plant I
15:54
think oh the power plant this Tower yeah
15:57
it's a really old Power plant we'll get
16:00
a little closer and we'll talk about it
16:01
but that was that's even older than all
16:03
of this I think that one's like 70 years
16:06
old look at this thing just
16:16
crashing suring a
16:16
little might be too Rocky through this
16:18
section well plus the surf has the
16:22
weight have to start crashing back
16:24
further where they can get on it to go
16:27
out those get closer
16:29
to the rocks blocking they
16:47
little it's a pretty Rocky short
16:47
on see that see how it's starting to PE
16:50
yeah yeah right there the second one
16:52
should do look at out it's a good left
16:54
right there look at
16:56
it beautiful this one that we're going
17:00
over now and that one both going to
17:01
break good that's
17:03
really should be a
17:09
little interesting how the all these
17:09
Resorts hotels look all the same so that
17:12
one looks the
17:13
same as that one the only one that looks
17:17
different there Aon right there
17:48
it but if you tilt it this way it means
17:48
cing how about it this way it means meet
17:51
me at halfy
18:18
one look at that thing head to the
18:18
shore that's going to break break pretty
18:20
good
18:39
room like early 9s they buil with Mar
18:39
and it stood alone by itself all the way
18:41
until 2011 when they started
19:28
mom was just noticing and wanted me to
19:28
film just the water here just because of
19:31
how blue it is I don't know if it's
19:32
going to translate to the camera but
19:35
this water is incredibly
19:45
blue looks like it's like dyed
19:45
blue
19:56
that what makes the water right here so
19:56
blue why does it look so blue
19:58
came off of that LE this is all sand
20:01
bottom right here okay so the sand gives
20:04
it the blue color see that different
20:07
colors okay
20:13
youand it doesn't even look like it's
20:13
real it looks like it's like a Blue
20:16
Gator yeah everybody calls it Blue Gator
20:19
all the kids anyway like Gat Blue Gator
20:33
what's over in the caves are people
20:33
living in those not really in the caves
20:35
they are kind of neat to look out from
20:37
out here but they're actually not really
20:40
something you would want to get
20:43
okay a wave came while you was in that
20:46
area it would push you up into that cave
20:49
aot oh yeah that's makes sense yeah the
20:51
W crashing too dangerous boat right
20:54
there coming in hot
21:04
look at that people living over there
21:04
got little tent set
21:14
property went over the coral reef now
21:14
Family earlier but if you look down you
21:17
see our boat isn't that deep in the
21:19
water at all right oh yeah we're just
21:21
gliding along the top you can go really
21:24
close to right yeah go over those Coral
21:28
heads are kind of close the top where
21:31
some of those bigger vessels they don't
21:32
want to come in this area they'll
21:34
destroy the
21:48
coral you mentioned earlier very bright
21:48
blue Gat
21:51
Bott you can see the dark spot and the
21:55
light SP so you can even pick out where
21:56
the sand are
22:10
areal so could you get out and walk
22:10
right here is that how shallow it
22:15
technically on some of them you could
22:18
you just don't want to walk on Coral but
22:19
over here it's like 10 10 to 15 maybe
22:23
the walk over here some of the coral
22:25
heads closer to shore are so full that
22:29
they're like maybe this far underneath
22:31
the surface of the water now keep in
22:33
mind they're only growing about a
22:34
centimeter a year so they're at least
22:36
100 year old those ones technically you
22:39
could walk on them you just don't want
22:40
to walk on you could cut your feet up I
22:44
saw somebody yesterday though that you
22:45
know the three channels in front of the
22:47
hotel right at low tide they walked
22:50
across the Left Channel I was like I
22:51
didn't even realize the tide got that
22:53
low where
22:55
