    I lived in Kailua Kona for seven years. You hit tourist traps and missed the rain forests and stunning areas. Very disappointed 😢

    Sorry but this video was horrible sir. No gems. Shame on you.

    I don’t think you understand what hidden gems mean. Nothing you showed was hidden, in fact you hit every tourist trap that is out in the open. You might what to change your title. Sorry but you get a thumbs down for miss information.
