Amazing Quest: Stories from Hawaii | Somewhere on Earth: Hawaii | Free Documentary

Hawaii is a living land, a dynamic force. Here, Man is dwarfed by Nature whose unbridled force rules supreme. First we meet Scott. He’s explored the rugged landscape from the Waimea Canyon to the Napali Coast, home to the island's earliest inhabitants. Then In Oahu, Yuko is a sailplane pilot. She is always on the lookout for the slightest breeze to satisfy her passion. Finally, we meet Olivier, a French astronomer, who spends a good part of his time on the summit of Big Island, at 4207 meters. Let us know in the comments if you’ve ever been and how you liked it!

This is a documentary of the foreign users of Hawai'i; how others come and take. Mind blowing.

Beginning to love these Amazing Quests series. Deadliest Roads continue to be my top favorite. 🇰🇪🇰🇪👏👏👏👏👏

Heaven on earth. Too beautiful. Good to see more nature than people. I wish to visit someday.

born and raised in Hawaii, great documentary depicting the soul of the islands...thank you

Very nicely shot documentary. However--where are the Hawaiians? I've spent years on O'ahu, Maui, Kaua'i & Hawaii Island. There are lots of Hawaiians living there and trying to make a living. Too many foreigners have taken much of the available real estate and jobs. Also, there is a movement against the biggest telescope project the University wants to put up on the Sacred Summit. How about showing some of the Hawaiians and their point of view& including some Hawaiian music and dance.

My mother was born && raised on Oahu . She worked for Dole pineapple for a while , later worked for the US Military, typing up letters sent to the families of our military members who perished in the Pacific theater during WWII. She also was Miss Pineapple Princess of the Dole plantation before WWII. After 20 + years as a Navy brat , I moved to Honolulu , and while walking down Waikiki a lady approached me and handed me a form and said “I want you to run for Miss Hawaii USA”. I didn’t want to bcuz I was too timid , I hated being on stages & being stared at. My Hawaiian cousins talked me into running. I knew I wouldn’t Win, but I gave it a whirl anyway, I was a nervous wreck, almost fell off the stage….and learned to never volunteer for anything involving a stage. 😮

It's wonderful to see how the world is beautiful, there is so much hidden beauty that we yet discover, Nature is beautiful, ❤️🇰🇪🇰🇪

The Kingdom of Hawaiʻi is still here. Still present.

A gorgeous landmass and I hope it will always be gorgeous......

Hawaii's untamed beauty and the individuals like Scott, Yuko, and Olivier who embrace it are awe-inspiring. This documentary captures the harmony between people and nature on these islands. Thank you for sharing these captivating stories.

I remember watching this documentary series about eight years ago and it had became a precious childhood memory I've lost until now. Thank you to the whole Patly Production team for traveling to these amazing places around the world and documenting these amazing people and their way of life in a perspective I've never seen before, and thank you Jerry Giacomo for narrating their stories with your soothing voice, and thank you Free Documentary for bringing these amazing stories back and making them freely available for the whole world to watch

Hawaii is beautiful 👍

Bittersweet beauty, I've lived here 30 years. When I get the money I will leave. The tourists are crowding out the natives.

Such a beautiful place on earth. Looks really cool from the sky. Almost looks until, like a painting or CG. SO pretty. Those trails have to have so many cool things to see and explore. Dude had a good spot to check the whales out. Not sure about the glider, but young lady was getting it up there. Really impressive. Ultimate wind surfing. Land, sea, or air, Hawaii is beautiful and I hope one day to get to explore it. Was fun to watch. Great video

My soul is old and I was half way there but I am wiser see our world through @FreeDocumentary where were you in my youth? I find such inspiration with these videos. Thank you!
