Filming Paradise

Filming Paradise

This channel is all about Hawaii and travel and beyond. Focusing on Maui and the Hawaiian Islands, with my perspecitve as both a former videographer for Expedia and as a Concierge in the hospitality field ince 2003 in Hawaii.. I've helped create many good vacations for my guests over the years thoughout the Hawaiian islands. Many guests suggested that I share some on my insight and experiences to a larger audience. Hence Filming Paradise was created.
We will explore the many facuets of the Hawaiian Islands and the trips that we take beyond the islands, to give you good infomration about the many activiites, restaruants, hotels and vacation clubs thoughtout our travels. These will save you both time and money, yet be entertaining at the same time. So come along and join us on another adventure with Filming Paradise.

    True, its a specail occansion place living here. They do offer local discounnts which helps. But for seaside dinning in Hawaii, I think its still a decent value for people traveling to Maui.

    Maui's Finest Luau has very bad reviews online. It looks like super fun in your video. Are they honest? I don't to pay and get cancelled? What do you think?

    Aloha, Maui's Finest Luau was really fun. At the time, it was what I considered one of the best value luaus on Maui. The show was very entertaining, the musican's were long time performers, the food was tasty and the grounds at the time were in Paia. As a Concerige, I never had an issue refunding the guests, if there was a cancellation. I'm not sure if they are currently running, as they moved from Paia, to Kihei the end of last year. I hope this helps.

    Compared to others, do you think this luau is worth the price?

  • @filmingparadise
    @filmingparadise2 ай бұрын

    Aloha, I think it's one of the top Luau's on Maui for someone that has lived here for 21 year and done many luau's. It's some of the very best Luau Grounds, Chef Prepared Meals, Full Wait Service, Private tables and full Wait Service. The run with about 5% of the guests that they used to and all of the upgrades that I mentioned above, is why it's priced where it is. I agree some with the comment below,The Oll Lahaina Luau is a very good show, but no fire knifes dancer vs 4 at the Grand Luau, the Food in my opiion is much better at the Grand, but they are both good experieinces, just very differnet luaus. I hope this helps.

    Hi there,I loved your video!!! A quick question if you could please answer : was water at the sandbar cold? We are planning to go there for the very first time this Christmas so it would be nice to know about the water 😉.

  • @filmingparadise
    @filmingparadise7 ай бұрын

    Aloha Thank you for your nice comments. The water was in the high 70's so for Mainland stardards that not bad, but a bit chilly for Hawaii. It can get up to the low 80's in the summer and fall, but it was fine with a rash guard and the snorkel experience along with playing volleyball on a sandbar was a really cool experience. I'd suggest water socks if you have them for the sandbar stop. Have fun.

    Mahalo for your comments. Right now, I use a simple set up, while figouring out the next camera to purchase. I filmed the Cambodia series, with just my Iphone 13 pro, Go pro 11 and An older Canon Rebel T2I for some of the photos. We also have some of the photos from the photographer we hired for group photos, mixed in. Blended them to look like they are one, is time consuming in post, but worth the effort.

    So which seat was the best? Almost looked like the one behind the pilot was better than the front seats

  • @filmingparadise
    @filmingparadise Жыл бұрын

    Aloha, sorry for the delayed reply. The very best are the front two seats, but most helicopters use weights and balances to decide where you'll sit. I've been in most seats and you are right the back middle can have equally good views and a different perspective. Blue Hawaiian only flys the Eco Stars which are the premium helicopters, with alot more glass and view areas, along with bucket seats vs bench so most everyone has a good view. I hope that helps.
