Uhm…it’s illegal to take sand from any beach in Hawaii. If caught, you can be fined up to $100,000. You are advertising it on a video. 🤷♀️Also, many people say it’s bad juju to take rocks or sand. Many people have mailed taken stuff back due to the bad luck they started having when they returned home.
They flagged our sand at the airport as the little baggies look like drugs on the scan. They tested the bags and even complimented me on all the beaches we had been to. No fine and the sand was not confiscated.
I feel it's not just about the fines or bad juju here its about the amount of people doing it and taking sand home. Sand is a really important natural resource that became rare nowadays. So please just don't take the sand because Hawaii needs it, to still exist and grow as a healthy ecosystem. Thanks ;)
I was there two weeks ago watching the sunrise. And many of the locals were already there at five thirty in the morning setting up their little cots,chairs and barbecues... So friendly and welcoming , beautiful beautiful area
This person hiding behind the name “New” seems to be more negative than this group is use to dealing with. Questioning how a name is said. I believe Alisa would know how to correctly say her own Daughter-in-laws name. And NO one ever said they are a 5 star hotel kind of channel. Just regular people, sharing their travels. You do you. But let them do them. Their are over 105,000 that appreciate the content they put out. Thanks Alisa and Jason for taking us along.
I really enjoy this couple but I'm kinda turned off about how they never talk about Jason's daughter. Not being rude and I know it's not her daughter. I wonder how she feels.
A lot of history in the sand. They brought a lot of sand from California, to replenish what was taken away by the hurricanes that blasted The Hawaii Pearl's.
Looks like I'm the last one to check in. Hey, beings your son is military (I think), did you all stay at the military resort Hale Koa? Hope so, we had it plan in 2020 when all hell broke loose. So we have not been there yet but have is scheduled. Right on Wiki Beach.
I’m curious you are off a cruise? So you rent a car and get a hotel for a few days then get back on the cruise? Been to Polynesian Culture center. Awesome place.
A good trick for sand or small shells is to use medicine containers like you get your prescriptions in…….They never unlock and spill and protect small shells…Do you guys ever get embarrassed vloggin in front of people…You do it effortless….I could never do it…lol
Please, please, please, if you come to Hawaii, don't take the sand. Imagine if each of the 10 million plus visitors every year took half a pound of sand. That's 5 million pounds of beach eroded a year. It adds up. Taking sand or rocks is considered kapu and has been known to bring bad luck when you get back home, it didn't just happen on the Brady Bunch. For any beach anywhere, the best policy for the health of the beach is to leave it the way you found it other than adding your footprints. Mahalo!
It was wonderful running into you guys on the Pride of America. Your vlogs are very helpful and I respect you guys. Not to criticize nor condemn but please don’t take sand nor rocks nor any natural resources from the islands. In most instances it can even be illegal with large fines. Imagine though if every tourist to our islands took a little bag of sand from our beaches or lava rocks from our beaches or parks and what that would do to our resources and the beauty of our islands. Please enjoy the sand between your toes and under your feet. Feel it’s relaxing energy as you lay on it on a beautiful Hawaiian day but please don’t take it away. There’s also the belief of Pele's Curse which is the belief that anything natively Hawaiian, such as sand, rock, or pumice, will bring bad luck on whoever takes it away from Hawaii. Take nothing away but a smile, the Spirit of Aloha, and what you purchase. You are great people who do great things but please leave the resources for others to enjoy, I mean, what good is a little bag of sand going to do on your shelf or in your drawer at home. God bless and Mahalo.
Thanks for sharing this nice video of my favorite beaches! Be careful taking anything back from the land. Remember what happened to Greg Brady lol. The curse is real though!
Well… they checked our bags at the airport and tested our little baggie as it was flagged as potential drugs but it passed on through and was not even confiscated. So, no fine.
Umm…it’s “Oahu”, not “Ohau”. With great respect, have enough humility and respect for the place you’re visiting to take the time to at least spell it correctly, especially if you’re putting it out there for the world to see. This just looks amateurish.
The native said not to take anything from Hawaii especially sand and rocks, they have a legend of Pele’s curse on visitors who take rock and sand away from the island
You should not have taken that sand. Very bad travel tourist example you are setting. What do you think would happen to the quality of beaches in Hawaii if just a quarter of the millions of tourists that visit Hawaii took sand, volcano rock etc.? They already have a very hard time keeping sand on the beaches due to natural erosion. Won't be watching your channel moving forward.
Great area you guys were at. We did the Crouching Lion Hike that is close to there last time we were there. You were so close to Jurassic Park, did you guys go to Kualoa Ranch?
Great beach hop. Hawaii looks amazing. I think I mentioned that we are taking the Ovation OTS from Sydney to Honolulu (Transpacific) in 2024 and we just added the Pride of America 3 days after getting into Honolulu. We won't have time to see that much of one island but think it will be a great way to see a snapshot of Hawaii. We are psyched and looking forward to seeing your vlogs on this coming trip. FYI, my wife of 43 yrs and I love to see another couple in love -unless you are really faking it! Having so much fun together. I was envious that you had so much fun with your son and daughter in law. We are traveling on the Oasis in July with one son and his family. Mima and I are taking our grandson 6 yr old from our other son so we'll have two grandchildren! So excited.
Enjoyed this video!! I was born and raised in Hawaii (now live in Texas for 20+ yrs) and go back often and I hit up all the beaches on your video. Love ALL your videos!! Thank you!!
Omg I absolutely love your video. Thank you for sharing your video. I wish time go faster now after I watch your video and I can’t hardly wait for my trip there in August.👍😍
I just recently found your channel as I was searching Hawaii videos. I love your videos and your vibe. You are very much my kind of people. I can't believe you have been married 25 years (you must have been 10 when you got married). Also, I love Hennesse's name. How do you actually spell it?
I used to live in California for years and drive up-and-down PmCH from? San Diego to San. Francisco. I used to think there'd be no difference between California and Hawaii because of the beach and the ocean. The first time I went to Hawaii realized there's a big difference. There's somewhat of a peace and a freedom that you feel on the beach in Hawaii...esp the ones on the east and north side...more in the local communities away from so many tourist areas.
Have you thought about coming to Tulsa Oklahoma. Take a RV trip to the Tulsa state fair. Sept 29 to October 10 2022. There is a RV park at the Tulsa state fair
YOu two are so cute, like 2 little kids, eyes open wide as saucers with every stop...Cute! I hope you get to the Dole Pineapple plantation and get some of that sherbert! MMMMMMMMMMM
I love Lanikai beach. Whenever I went to visit my mother I would stay at a bed-and-breakfast in that area that you’re talking about it’s amazing enjoyed every minute of it
My husband and I were in Hawaii 34 years ago this July. And I’m learning a lot from the two of you and also Dee and Jay. We did go to the Polynesian cultural center the first time around. But I love knowing about the marketplace. We are definitely going back next July for our 35th wedding anniversary.
I can’t wait until we get to do that. I just love Hawaii. We have a cruise in January on the glory January the 15. I can’t wait until we get to meet y’all. When are y’all having a group cruise? Please let me know and I’ll see what we can do.
If you guys end up renting a car and doing the Road to Hana on your Maui day, there’s a stop a little ways up where I had the best fish taco of my life. It’s my understanding that it’s not always open, but if you catch them open, it’s a large outdoor grill on the ocean side of the road. There’s a shack there too with merch
We love watching Magnum PI and Hawaii Five O with all the great scenery. This is definitely on our bucket list to cruise around the islands for our 25th Anniversary in 2024.
Canadian fan, just got into your channel. That rig you went with is awesome looking, looks easy to drive and I’m sure just all around maneuverable in small spaces compared to your class C. How do you like cooking in this new rig? And as we are Canadian, we don’t unfortunately have the “Cracker Barrels” and other stops to stay as you travel, as we are not equipped for that in some of our Northern climates. We do, however, have very extreme temps in some parts of our country, both hot and cold. Glad I joined your channels (a 60 something and 70 year old couple). Enjoy your videos very much!
Hawaii is beautiful. surprised you didn’t go to Aulani. We loved it and there is a cove 5 minutes walk where you swim with sea turtles. We enjoyed a day beach hopping at the north shore. We were there in January so lots of surfers. We met lots of lovely Hawaiians unfortunately there are some not so friendly ones that get on these posts because they don’t like tourists.
Thank you for saying something about the sunscreen, honestly I am concerned about my favorite bloggers who are fair and in the sun all the time. Enjoy Hawaii!
What kind of Hawaii package did you get and where did you get it. Did you say it was for 12 day’s and what did you get in the package and what was extra Thank you in advance Looks like a great vacation
Aloha Alisa and Jason, I’m so glad y’all enjoyed our beautiful islands and I’d agree that Waimānalo Beach is our favorite as well! One response refers to the fact that a lot of the sand is shipped in from California, however that would be Waikīkī. Caution thought, hopefully you didnt take any volcanic black sand from the Big Island. If ever you saw the Brady Bunch episode in Hawai’i, that was loosely based upon local folklore and our beloved Goddess, Madame Pele.
I heard that too - bad juju--- you should not take any natural items from Hawaii back to mainland....unless that is just for the black sand - or even any peridot you might find on the black sand (which is where it is formed from)
It’s a football reference. If a quarterback wants to change the play, he calls an audible and does something else. We always go into travel with a rough plan and make changes as we go.
Hawaii is almost magical. The Caribbean is awesome but Hawaii, just a step above. Our favorite beach is Hapuna on the big island. Absolutely beautiful.

I’ve never been able to go to Hawaii but on bucket list! Beautiful place!
I’m enjoying your trip from Hawaii so much. I can’t wait for more.❤️❤️
Such a beautiful beach. Loving the great content in this series. Thanks for taking us along.😎

We flew to Honolulu and spent 3 days before getting on the cruise to sail to three more Hawaiian islands.

Serious question, is your DILs name Hennessey? or Hennesseys?
It’s spelled Génesis
@@EECCTravels Thanks! The wife and I were trying to figure it out.
Pele no likey you take her sand....bring bad luck.
Please do not take any sand, rocks, leave in Hawaii! Leave as you find! Pele will not be happy!!!
Tourist not knowing what to do in Hawaii 🤷♂️
not to be a Debbie Downer but have you researched taking things from Hawaii? I have heard about bad luck and fines (even for sand)
Alisa had beautiful wavy beachy hair in this vlog!!

If nothing else learned from watching the Brady Bunch it was this lesson 😮
Not supposed to take sand from the beaches. Bad 👎🏻
Can’t say I’ve never brought home sand in a cigarette pack…but I thought it was illegal
Thanks for sharing this nice video of my favorite beaches! Be careful taking anything back from the land. Remember what happened to Greg Brady lol. The curse is real though!
It’s a local myth, taking Sand off the beach is bad luck
You definitely should not be intentionally taking anything from the islands. It's disrespectful to the culture and the locals.
Its illegal to take sand from any hawaii beach , up to. $100,000 fine
Well… they checked our bags at the airport and tested our little baggie as it was flagged as potential drugs but it passed on through and was not even confiscated. So, no fine.
Umm…it’s “Oahu”, not “Ohau”.
With great respect, have enough humility and respect for the place you’re visiting to take the time to at least spell it correctly, especially if you’re putting it out there for the world to see. This just looks amateurish.
Love Hawaii. Pay attention to those warning signs, they are there for a reason. You guys are having a great time. I love watching your video’s.
The native said not to take anything from Hawaii especially sand and rocks, they have a legend of Pele’s curse on visitors who take rock and sand away from the island
Whoops… but we didn’t take any rocks. We had heard lava rocks were bad luck.

I promise you, nobody in that neighborhood wants you there. Source: I live in that neighborhood
Oh nooo, bad luck to take anything Hawaii home. The locals get angry too.
Y'all are brave. I would have been afraid that a man-o-war would have stung me, but all the beaches look absolutely beautiful 😍
Great beach hop. Hawaii looks amazing.

We went to the N Shore for lunch, and as we were walking alone the shore, there were dozens of sea turtles right there! ❤️❤️
How fun! Great idea to beach hop and see some places on the island!! Look fwd to the cruise vlogs! Thanks for sharing ☺️
Just love your videos! We want to go on Hawaii Cruise and visit 4 different islands, what cruise do you recommend? We live in Southern Oregon.
YOu two are so cute, like 2 little kids, eyes open wide as saucers with every stop...Cute! I hope you get to the Dole Pineapple plantation and get some of that sherbert! MMMMMMMMMMM
We did and it was delicious 😋
Nice to hear from you again. Haven't heard from you from a long time
Man you both really hit it out of the park with this video.. 💖💖💖💖💖💖 thanks we Love it and you both! 💖👍🏼⚓️🛳
I love Lanikai beach. Whenever I went to visit my mother I would stay at a bed-and-breakfast in that area that you’re talking about it’s amazing enjoyed every minute of it
The Polynesian cultural Center was amazing as we learned so much and had a luau!
Waimanalo beach is definitely one of my favorites! I got married on this beach and it was so peaceful.
Love your video! My dream is to make it to Hawaii. Alisa, may I ask where your bathing suit top is from? So cute!

Enjoy Hawaii! Great to see you are in my side of the island. Aloha 🤙
North shore is amazing when the waves are high and the surfers are out. I forget what month that is, but never seen waves that big.
We love watching Magnum PI and Hawaii Five O with all the great scenery. This is definitely on our bucket list to cruise around the islands for our 25th Anniversary in 2024.
Ethan has a tattoo with your names?! That's so cute.
Yeah, isn’t he a sweetheart ❤️
Eecc travels have you ever thought of coming to the Tulsa state fair. Sept 29 to October 10. In a RV . RV park at Tulsa state fairgrounds.
You guys are just the cutest
Your stop at the cultural center brings back memories of when I was there. We also attended the Luau when we were there.
Thank you for sharing your beach day on Oahu! Love your videos.
Great beaches. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks.
Loving these Hawaii vlogs , wow it's so beautiful , keep up the great work 🌴🌴🌴❤️

The Polynesian Cultural Center was the highlight of our Hawaii trip. I hate you missed it!
Shrimp butter and garlic doesn’t suck😜you guys have the life 💜
The Polynesian Cultural center is like a Hawaiian Epcot. Fun but long day.
Thank you for saying something about the sunscreen, honestly I am concerned about my favorite bloggers who are fair and in the sun all the time. Enjoy Hawaii!
Do you know my favorite wine???
I wanna’ go to Hawaii!!!🏄♀️🌊🏄♂️Thanks for taking me there!
You went to the beach I messaged you about!! Our favorite Lanikai! 🌺
❤️💕❤️💕thanks! Love all your videos!!
I got married on Waimanalo Beach! Gorgeous!!!
So cool! You have to check out Waimea Bay Beach Park on the North Shore and watch people jumping off the ginormous rock formation.
The Polynesian Cultural Center was perfect. We did the whole thing. That will be a must next time.
Aww I miss Oahu! Thx for taking us along! Be safe and have fun
That water is beautiful 🤩 was the water cold during the sunset? I don’t see many people in that water.
Thank you for sharing. So beautiful.
Shouldn’t take sand or anything from the beach. It’s a very bad omen and will bring bad luck. 🙏🏼😳🫣
So Awesome! Loved the video! Hawaii....Just Wow!
Would love to go enjoy you all can't wait until next video
Y’all are different in Hawaii. I dig it !!!
Did you notice the little girl behind you having a full fledge tamtrum?? LOL ..great video as always
Totally missed that 😂
Great drone footage and editing!
Sorry you seemed so sick.
What kind of Hawaii package did you get and where did you get it. Did you say it was for 12 day’s and what did you get in the package and what was extra
Thank you in advance
Looks like a great vacation
We didn’t book a package through NCL. We booked everything else on our own. 3 days before and 3 days after the cruise in Honolulu.
Alisa looks so happy! 😁
Love the beautiful blue water
Beautiful. Awesome.
Wow guys that was so awesome
This was the one of your best videos you have done yet - love looking at all the different types of beaches - God does amazing things to nature
Why thank you 😊
Hi. What do you do with your sand collections?
I have little corked bottles I put the sand in with a label of where it came from.
There are places at the beaches to rent snorkel gear , correct ? ..
Yes near most beaches
That beach and sunset at the end looked incredible! What an awesome 2nd day you all had! ❤️🤙🏼
Aloha Alisa and Jason, I’m so glad y’all enjoyed our beautiful islands and I’d agree that Waimānalo Beach is our favorite as well! One response refers to the fact that a lot of the sand is shipped in from California, however that would be Waikīkī. Caution thought, hopefully you didnt take any volcanic black sand from the Big Island. If ever you saw the Brady Bunch episode in Hawai’i, that was loosely based upon local folklore and our beloved Goddess, Madame Pele.
I heard that too - bad juju--- you should not take any natural items from Hawaii back to mainland....unless that is just for the black sand - or even any peridot you might find on the black sand (which is where it is formed from)
What do you mean by audibles?
It’s a football reference. If a quarterback wants to change the play, he calls an audible and does something else. We always go into travel with a rough plan and make changes as we go.
@@EECCTravels Ohhhhh well since I know absolutely NOTHING about football, I had no idea what you meant, LOL
Hawaii is almost magical. The Caribbean is awesome but Hawaii, just a step above. Our favorite beach is Hapuna on the big island. Absolutely beautiful.
Nice to see EECC Travels showing the Pacific and HI some love.
