    It is really cool how each of the four main Hawaiian islands all have their own unique character to them. I have not been anywhere in Hawaii yet, but I really need to get out there at some point. I'm not sure which one I will go to first, but it would be cool to see the four main islands. However, I probably would want to make four separate trips and spend time on one island per trip. Great video!

      I was just in Kauai. Some of the people at the airport and car rental places were rude, ironically half of them were White. But for the most part, you're right. I just think it's wrong that they charge mainlanders higher rates, but aside from that, I didn't find the locals to be hostile towards mainlanders, like I heard happens on some of the other islands. They were actually surprisingly helpful, welcoming and friendly. I saw a sign in one of the parks that read, "One Island, Many Peoples, All Kauaians", and I certainly feel the higher level of diversity compared to maybe some other islands has contributed to their higher level of tolerance.
      We even met two Hawaiian guys who started telling us about a heiau hidden in the bushes, off the path. So it seems, on Kauai at least, they like it when mainlanders are interested in learning about their heritage.
      But like I said, "One Island, Many Peoples, All Kauaians" And the "All Kauaians" for the most part were very friendly.

    Great synopsis! YAY! I have been to 5 islands and hope to visit the 6th one this fall. People often put down Oahu. Oahu is awesome! Great beauty, hiking, dining, shopping and people. Oahu has it all. People complain about the crowds in Waikiki but I love it, the excitement and hustle and bustle, shopping, great restaurants (can't go wrong at Halekalani, Royal Hawaiian or Moana Surfrider), street fairs and fireworks! The other islands are wonderful as well just don't listen to people that put down Oahu.

    Nice video! Just back from an Oahu / Maui vacation. I was in Kauai & Hawaii in 1988 & 90. Plan to go back in a year or two. In terms of number of days needed in those two islands - is 5 & 5 right or less in Big Island and more in Kauai?

    • @alohawidy
      @alohawidy 2 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      I've been 4 times in Hawaii since 2015 from France. My preferred island is Kauai, then Oahu and Big island. Maui my least favorite. Anyway,if you like hiking I recommend you 5days in Kauai so you don't have to rush to do the best activities of the island. 4 days in BI is also the minimum to spend there. Oahu,which I really didn't like at first has a lot to offer,there are so many cool spots all over the island 6days are recommended at least.

    • @MahnaGhafori
      @MahnaGhafori  ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Well it IS the furthest from you guys, but honestly, I live in California and it's freakin' expensive for us too. I'm honestly not surprised many American people prefer to go to Fiji or French Polynesia. Those places often have cheaper rates than Hawaii. But aside from these three places, the Pacific islands are all insanely expensive to visit! I've never seen such expensive destinations. These are islands are for millionaires!
      Maybe you should try Mauritius, Reunion or the Caribbean. Very similar vibe, history and geography and you can probably find cheaper rates to those places from Belgium. You can fly direct from Paris to the French islands.

    Native Hawaiians have been LOUD and CLEAR for DECADES: do NOT visit HAWAII! Tourists are NOT welcome due to the heavy ecological footprint!!! There are TOO MANY tourists in Hawaii and too many non-Hawaiians buying up the land for tourist destinations, gentrifying the whole place and leaving natives in homeless camps all over the islands (suspiciously not shown here!). Again, stay where you are and respect natives’ wishes to keep Hawaii inhabitable.
