after a long 10 days im finally back. i was on the big island (bigger than i thought lol) just got home a little while ago after a red eye. we left the big island at 7 pm then a 2 hour layover in Honolulu then back to lax. we got in at 645 this morning. i had a blast while we were all there. i went with my gf and her family (8 total, 4 couples). we snorkeled, hiked, zip lined, went to the beach a whole bunch and alot more i cant even think of. the one thing we didnt get a chance to do was cliff jump. it was on the whole opposite side of the island and like a 6 hour round trip in the car. i took a few pics but i didnt take my phone with me everywhere. ill share some of the pics that i got, tell me what you think and if you have ever visited the big island if you have any stories :)


the first cool hike we did was to a black sand beach. going down was fun but coming up was a breather. super cool spot to chillout for a couple of hours. they had some hidden rope swings that made it even more fun. (didnt get pics of the bottom :(

i had a blast and cant wait to go back!!!!

one tip that i recommend if you do go is get a condo, it will make your trip 100 times better. i could only imagine how ****ty the experience would have been in a hotel. because when the sun goes down u need somewhere to relax and have fun at. we had the big screen for movies and the outdoor kitchen when we wanted to grill.

lemme know what u guys think haha

Wow looks beautiful man. Looks like you had a blast.

its crazy how it can go from a rugged lava rock dessert to a beautiful rainforest in such a short distance. very beautiful place!!

great pics. man i miss hawaii! i went for 2 weeks this past summer. i shall return someday

did you stay on the big island??

Never been myself but it looks pretty cool!

its super cool u gotta go once in your life!!!




also another thing to mention was that there was a pretty sick jdm scene. alot of slammed civics, crx's and integras. couple of other random jdm cars. and there was this orange supra. omg it was so loud. i heard that 2jz a mile away and started looking around like a kid in a candy shop lol

its crazy because these people need lifted trucks to live and yet you see tons of dumped out cars everywhere.

Nice shots, that place practically photographs itself. Thanks for sharing. My wife and I spent our honeymoon in Maui. Did some snorkeling at a reef, spent some time in Lahaina, and some other things. It's just amazing, we’ll go back someday.
