    Here are some video's I took during my honeymoon to Hawaii in September of this year. The snorkel video below is a combination of video I took on the three islands we visited (Oahu, Big Island, Maui). There was some pretty amazing snorkeling everywhere, just pull over and jump in the water and you would see fish everywhere. Most of the video was taken at more popular/well known snorkel spots. You have to look very hard but between minute 1:37 and 2:18 you can see 2 octopi in the video below! At minute 2:10, when I swam down for a closer look you can see one stationary and one swimming away from me (you will likely have to change your youtube video settings to HD to see anything). It was unbelievable how they changed color and blend in with the coral.


    Here is a video of my wife and I climbing the Haiku Stairs, AKA the Stairway to Heaven. This was a bucket list adventure for sure as it is technically illegal to do as the state does not want the liability of somebody getting hurt. Now I don't promote people doing anything that is illegal but if you make it through this video you will see why it was something that we had to do!


    One last quick video of a helicopter tour of the Big Island waterfalls!


    We had an absolute blast while we were out there and would absolutely recommend Hawaii to anybody that is adventurous and enjoys the beauty of the ocean.
    Hope you enjoy the videos!

    Awesome videos! Looks like a lot of fun. How long did it really take to complete the climb?

    Thanks! Glad you all enjoyed the videos. The snorkeling video doesn't do the fields of coral justice, it was amazing.
    Rolo - it took us about an hour and 15 mins to hike to the top, and about a hour down. 3922 steps to the top :)
