    To tourists: please keep in mind that you are a guest on these sacred lands. Although, Hawaii is the 50th state of the US. Native Hawaiians are still fighting for sovereignty for their ppl. Please come respectfully, kind and humble. Being rude and demanding will continue to create more tension among our community. Resulting in locals and natives not being to keen to tourist.
    Please be free not only to check out the beauty but also come on over and educate yourself on the Kingdom of Hawaii and the respect for nature here. 🌺

    Born and raised in the state. While I appreciate your patronage and support by visiting our state, keep in mind that it's all an illusion. Just like Las Vegas. Most regular people that live here are lower middle class. We are continuously working just in order to survive and obtain the necessities. We don't have a lot of time to go to the beach or do those things that visitors enjoy. Just keep this in mind when you visit. Enjoy your time here and keep what I've said in mind when you return home. Aloha!

(lol)my dad was working in pearl harbor so he had the rental during the day which forced us to explore on foot as well, it was perfect really. parking in downtown honolulu is nearly impossible my dad would just drive around the block if it was a quick stop, otherwise walk or uber! also i do NOT recommend jetskis on the north shore!! what a nightmare that was and im not afraid of much, yet i was pretty scared with waves that flippin big!

    One thing you missed in your map of the Islands in the beginning of the video is Kaho‘olawe you forgot to label Kaho‘olawe
    . The island is a sacred place it is not inhabited due to the US military using it for target practice for bombs for several decades. They broke the water table on the island from the bombings. Even though nobody lives on the island it should still be labeled.

      Aloha Cindy! Thanks for the kind words :) Waikiki has Dukes and some other famous restaurants that you should book beforehand to get a sunset view. The beach house by 604 in Pokai Bay is a nice place on the West side. The food alright, but I'd still recommend it. Finally, Haleiwa Joe's in Kaneohe is also a great place to go for sunset. You won't see the sunset over the water. Instead, it will go down behind the mountains. Hope this helps :)

      We think that would be a great way of transportation. We see lots of mopeds here on Oahu. But you should avoid the main high ways, that go over the Ko’olau mountains. So it would take you longer if you want to get to the other part of the island :)

    I am so amazed and dissapointed that you neglected to mention the Polynesian Cultural Center on the north shore! In my opinion it is one of the top 5 attractions on the island. Our trip to Oahu definitely wouldn't have been the same without our visit there. Maybe you can amend this video to include it.

    Great video as always.
    Since rental cars are expensive right now and even Uber seems expensive. Do you know if you can drive scooters along main roads or highways. For example, do you think one could scooter from Waikiki to Lanikai?

    • @DennyandNikki
      @DennyandNikki  3 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      We haven't rode mopeds here but it's definitely possible to go from Waikiki to Lanikai. We see them all around the island. I would just ride around the southeastern coast and stay away from the main highways. It will take a bit more time but a great way to see parts of the island.

      We are coming out with some itineraries on our blog soon. Generally for four full days, I would use two of those days to relax in Waikiki, visit the south shore on a day for Koko Crater and Hanauma Bay, visit either the windward coast (scenery) or North Shore (surfing) on the final day. Hope that helps.

    Hey hey! I love your dedication to pronunciation- makes my heart very happy. Pro tip! Most (but not all) words with ‘w’ in the middle pronounce them as a ‘v’ - like “Haleʻiwa” would phonetically be: (Ha.leh-ee.vah).
    Love the videos! Thank you for sharing our cultural side 💜 keep’em coming! 🤙🏽
