Anything you definitely want to do. You can always wait to book but might end up with your 2nd choice date or time. I’d always, ALWAYS recommend booking early.
I am traveling to Hawaii in July with my Family, we will be a group of 7. Do you have a shuttle service that you recommend we use getting from airport to our hotel ?
I'm already looking into options and gathering info for a trip to 2 Islands in Hawaii next year. There is a 12-hr time difference and I'm not exactly looking forward to that.
@@YestoHawaii You’re doing Vlogmas?? I can’t wait! I’ve never used a concierge before, but I’m always the trip planner and tour guide for my family, so the insight to your work in this video is fascinating and helpful!
I'm new to your channel. I love how informative all your videos. My request is to give ideas for couple celebrating in our case 25th Wedding Anniversary will be travelling last week of July to first week if August

All your videos are so helpful. I will be staying at a VRBO located at Monarch hotel I presume there isn't a Concierge. I have a question for you in regards to cell phone service I am coming from Toronto Ontario Canada I heard at some point that the United States are all going 5G as far as cell phone towers. I have an older phone will I have a problem and will I need to upgrade my phone for my trip?
Mahalo! Feel free to reach out to me via email or comment on any of the videos. Happy to help! As for the phone, I'm not too sure. I think your phone (depending on how old it is) would probably still work but have slower data/downloads. I'd still double-check with your phone carrier though.
Hello my wife and i are coming to Hawaii on a cruise in Dec. will be in Honolulu for 2 days . we would love to rent a car on our first day to drive to the north shore. would love to know if this a good idea and can we get a car at the cruise port.Thanks for any help
Hawaii time stays the same (we don’t go forward an hour or backward either). Right now, I think it’s just a 5 hour time difference between Hawaii & Eastern time zone.
Watch lots of videos about your destination, take notes. Pay attention to places and activities that are recommended multiple times, then look at reviews. This may help you decide things that are a good fit for you and your group and this way you can make advance reservations for very popular sites and activities if necessary.
Me and my girlfriend are planning are Hawaii trip together's never been there would like to contact you to help us plan this vacation we were also thinking either flying or a cruise would love to get your opinion we're trying to go for at least 7 to 9 days thank you love your video.
Don't bother with Pearl Harbor or Hanauma Bay. Here's what you do: 1) Leonards 2) Liliha Bakery 3) Okata Bento 4) Kua Aina Burgers 5) drive back to town and swim to the pylon at Kaimana Beach.
Pearl Harbor is a bucket list destination for so many people - I can't imagine why you say not to bother with it. Pearl Harbor is a historical event and location in the history of our country and the world at large, and to dismiss it as merely a "tourist destination" to check off a to-do list is sadly shallow and dismissive in our country's history, not to even mention the brave men who died there (and whose remains are still there) protecting our country so you can live in it.
Your bucket list is very different from mine. I don't need to visit the site of grim reminder of mass murder and extreme cowardice of the Japanese to honor our military. Just like I won't visit Hiroshima or Nagasaki to celebrate our victory. Its a huge downer. I focus on positive stuff for my bucket list. But do what's best for you. @@peldridge2627
Help, I contacted my hotel (the Embassy Suites) and asked for contact details for their concierge. They sent me the number for Blue Hawaiian Travel. Is this normal? Do they simply subcontract the concierge service? Or do they simply not have one?
Most hotels in Waikiki have them though it varies from $20-55. Some hotels will do specials where they might not charge a resort fee for certain booking dates. There are still a handful of hotels that don't charge a resort fee (ex. Halekulani) but in general most Waikiki hotels do.

Are you staying in Waikiki? Or elsewhere like KoOlina or North Shore?

It's an option! There are some island tours that can pick up from the cruise ship too - makes it easy if you have luggage.
does the east coast (Boston) time change (one hour back) effect the time difference of 6 hours?
Hawaii time stays the same (we don’t go forward an hour or backward either). Right now, I think it’s just a 5 hour time difference between Hawaii & Eastern time zone.

what do you thank of the OHANA Easr
It's a nice budget option as it's one street down (on Kuhio Ave) from the main street (Kalakaua Ave)
I love it!! Say no more..how can I contact you so you can be my concierge?
Send me an email aloha@yestohawaii.com 😊
Help, I contacted my hotel (the Embassy Suites) and asked for contact details for their concierge. They sent me the number for Blue Hawaiian Travel. Is this normal? Do they simply subcontract the concierge service? Or do they simply not have one?
A lot of hotels do this and it's pretty normal! 🌺
how can I avoid resort fees or get them waived
