Tourists made waikiki smell like sunscreen :/
In Oahu l was in Polynesian culture center,very beautiful and interesting museum
would not buy fish from china town or fruits and vegetables, magruo brothers can but not none of those other vendors I seen legend rats in there and I seen the chrons sell fish from out the alawai
Is there a list of places to legally fly your drone ?
I really enjoyed watching this! We have been to all of the islands over the years, and this video brings back lots of memories. Do you have similar videos of Kauai and Maui? Our last visit to Hawaii but just before the pandemic started last year, 2020….now we are so anxious to get back to any of the islands, we are fully vaccinated, just watching the news to see when we will feel safe traveling again.
I have been wanting to go to Hawaii for years like most people. I am finaly getting closer to that goal ❤ planning on this island for sure. I have to go see all the pineapples!
We need probably a week for doing all that activity but I only go for 4 days hahaha
I lived there sadly i moved
Heading there the end of May!! Thank you for the great ideas on things to do!! North shore is my favorite place… I also love the windward side of the island and will be staying near Kailua/Kaneohe!! 🙂
多麼美麗的錄像帶 隨處享受旅行
Seems like a wonderful barefooting day! Good job! 👍
The absolute best thing to do on Oahu is fly back home when your vacation is done. That way you can come back and it’s still special, you ruined a little bit by staying.
We are not at Hawaii yet but I’ve been watching your shows since we were waiting I watch your shows over and over the last one I think is this one I love watching your shows😊 🙂
Really enjoyed the video, don’t forget to show the scenic views, that’s the best, including Laie “Hole in the rock”….
thanks for sharing
Brings back so many memories, I LOVE IT!!
You guys are so cute! Thanks for all the tips! Can't wait to go there.
We’re going in the summer of august I’m trying to educate myself as much as I can
I missed Oahu Waikki beach….so much. I'm came there with my sisters and mom last November of 2019….We mostly rides Uber and rental car for two day only. Just Wonder since the covid19 restriction is there still uber driver. I'm want to be back for a visit again with my kids and husband.
Thanks for the video. Could you guys make a video of going around Oahu without a car from Waikiki Beach or Aloa Moana? Due to car rental shortage, many are not renting a car while staying in Hawaii for more than a week in Oahu. Thanks again. Beautiful family!
FYI: It's Ka N Na the e is silent.
I've been to Oahu a handful of times and still didn't know about some of these places! A really great compilation you've put together! 🍍🍕
Im going in April 2022! So this was so good for me to see! I’ll def. show my parents!
Hello! I’ll be taking a trip to Hawaii really soon, and I was wondering if you have any places you would recommend that can take you swimming with sharks?
Lived on Oahu for 27 years. We're on the mainland for a few years now, but we still have all our property rented out there and will be moving back in a couple more years. Many of the restaurants, food places, and resorts you showed are my wife's clients over the years.
This is my go to video to figure out what to do here in Hawaii!!!
Kayaking to the Mokes is so much fun and so peaceful.
Thank you for your review <3 your son is so cute <3 I have the intention to visit OAHU in October. Is the weather good for travel at that time? is it cold or heavy rain? And what month is the best one to visit Hawaii? Hope get your reply soon. Thank you 🙂
Thank you for the cool post. Most of the Rainbows I've seen in my life, were in Hawaii.
Sub'd. Great job
This is great! I’m so excited to visit Oahu for the first time this July!
Whoa this guy’s voice changes. In their 21 Things To Do In Maui video he sounds just like Roman Balkanov on YouTube. In this video he sounds just like Chip Gaines of Fixer Upper. That’s cool!
I'm so happy to found this channel! We're planning our trip for September (it's June now) and I greatly appreciate all the tips and resources you shared! How long was this trip you showed? We're only there for a week and I don't think we'll be able to do everything on the list, so I want to have a realistic expectation of how much can be done over a short course in time. Thank you for sharing!
Thanks for the great info. If you could only do either the Bishop museum or the Iolani palace but not both, which would you recommend?
Mixed emotions about your video. You are obviously transplants. And not true locals. You might know what I mean. That said the video is nice with eye pleasing locations. Also personally I appreciate you covering general areas. And not just sending tourists into a 100 yard line of haoles trying to prevent locals from getting a malasada or plate lunch
Do I have to make reservations for most of activities?
What do you do for work?
your son is adorable!
Kuhio Park Terrace is a must see! #1 on top places to visit on Oahu.
I’m going to Oahu for my birthday next month and also to visit family. This is my first time being in Hawaii and I’m super excited!!
You guys have me so excited! 😂
