This series was filmed back in September, but was in the same damaged hard drive, as my content from the Philippines! This will only be a short 5 video series, as I'm currently in Egypt and these videos will be starting to come out next week! I hope you guys enjoy these videos and I look forward to sharing Egypt with you and will start publishing as soon as I am out of the country. (for security reasons of course)
I appreciate you all so much and thanks for showing love. I hope you all understand. This series was just very expensive to film and the videos were awesome, so they deserve to be shown to you guys!
Stoked for the Egypt series!
Awesome content as always. Glad you got to visit my home of Hawaii 🤙🏻. Currently in Thailand and who knows might run into when you get back at the end of January. Keep living the dream bro!
Mr. Chris:Congratulations to you for your “Dreams Come Through” that you visits Honolulu, Hawaii this week in great joy & peace in January of 2024❤❤❤
i wish u would do more thailand videos
I was wondering about the timeline cause I was like but he had those shades in Thailand!! Lol
I've been to Oahu 10 times and something stands out to me every time I'm in Honolulu and Waikiki and that is just a general peaceful feeling. People are happy and it doesn't feel like a big city. I love that island so much! You can feel the aloha there.
Thanks for sharing I imagined it very different. I am definitely going to visit now.
Aloha Chris, as a local born and raised (and still) here on Oahu let me tell you that the island is not just Waikiki and has SO MUCH more to offer and many other fun stuff to do than Waikiki! I know you need to do the tourist stuff (which is also fun and I do sometimes myself) but next time you come back venture out to the west side, hit up a "locals" mall "pearlridge shopping center" or even the west side for even more stunning beaches...anyways, another fun and entertaining video my man!
yes, it's great for a local to bring him around the island.. would be much safer for him also.. it's just the prices is the suck thing about hawaii.
Spent 7 days in Waikiki maybe walked around an hour Spent my time cruising the island since I had a car.
WoW! You made it to my home! Just a FYI "the Big Island" is actually Hawaii Island. The Island of Oahu is called"the Gathering place" because over 80% of All of Hawaii's population is on the Island of Oahu. They all have different names. So excited to see you made it Hawaii! @travelwithchris
In a tourist area, anywhere in America, super high prices are normal because tourists will buy just about anything….and will usually stay inside the tourist bubble. Eat outside the tourist area, and always have a hotel room with a kitchen so you can cook, or at least save leftovers from takeout in the fridge and eat that for two days… make sure it’s something savory.
Hawaii is beautiful 🌺! Was there last year and I will be back again this year.
I am from the east coast. The flight is so much shorter for me if I go somewhere in the Caribbean (+cheaper) but there is really something about Hawaii that keeps me wanting to go back.
The island speaks to me. It definitely helps reset me back to my calm self when life gets tough and stress from work is creeping up.
You know what’s crazy, I too have always dreamed of visiting Hawaii but my only point of reference are all the American movies and series etc…as an adult, I tried looking at a few TH-cam vlogs but those mainly focused on the nature aspect of Hawaii. Prior to watching this video, I have never had a clue that Hawaii looks like that and now I’m even that much more intrigued to visit. Thanks for showing us a side to Hawaii that most of us don’t get to see
Thanks brother for the kind words. These videos will shed light on a different side of the island. I'll be showing the good and the ugly, you'll enjoy it bro!
Hawaii has always been my dream destination from back as a child watching things like cliff diving and surfing on tv. Unfortunately stuck here in a cold and wet England and knocking on a bit, it will probably remain a dream, so i really appreciate your efforts in sharing your visit with us.
Dude hasn't seen the real Hawaii.
Try going to the west side and your see the real Hawaii. Get out of town and Waikiki.
Love these vibe vids. Makes me feel as though it's me walking around exploring but from my living room.
Thank you so much for the kind words!
The beach looks so inviting⛱🌞
Yes!!!
Omg Chris what a wonderful Son you are my Son wouldn’t give me the time of day. Well done young man your Mother & Grandmother would be so proud. 💕💕
Thank you so much for the kind words ❤️
Just for your audience: never take a taxi from the airport. You’ll be paying double. Take an Uber instead. Keep on traveling!
perfect timing, going to hawaii next month. Cant wait for this series! mahalo chris
Nice to see someone enjoy Oahu for first time! Reminds me of our first time, we love Hawaii and have been lucky enough to come here 10 times from Canada in our winter cold months! Great vid! Make sure you rent a car and check out other side of island for all the beautiful non crowded beaches!!
Back at it with another ANOTHEr beautiful vid. Man you are inspiring us to living a more carefree life.
I did a solo trip to oahu last year and I loved it. The energy of the place was just so beautiful. I can’t wait to go back
Good morning Chris thanks for showing can't wait too see.
Thank you so much! You're always so early and I appreciate it!
Loved my time in Wakiki so much. I stayed at the Ritz Carlton and shopped in the diamond district. Also went ziplining. The people and the beaches are great. Also did Maui before the fires, Kaui is next.
I miss Oahu just the air and the sun and the plants is enough, gorgeous island.
Yes it is!!! So beautiful
What's holding you back from coming to Honolulu?
Aloha Chris and welcome to Hawaii, I am a local here and I warch your videos especialy when you are in Thailand. I love Thailand and was there in January and July 2023. I heard you mentioning about lots of asians here. I am asian mixed and our grand parents came from asia to work in the sugar cane and pineapple fields. They came and stayed here. Anyway enjoy your self on your stay. I will watch all your videos. Mahalo!
Thank you for the kind words! I hope you enjoy this series!
I've been to Oahu a couple of times. It's all so beautiful! But my personal favourite part was the North Shore. I love its hippy and happy vibe with little indie shops and restaurants that add color to the road. I also love the way the ocean moves there. It's nice to look out and get inspired. The road itself is so lovely and it has much more nature and trails than touristic waikiki. I didn't see any of the posh shops up there, which makes it more natural, mystical and lovely.
I was in Hawaii back in September with my parents for my sisters wedding, it was an amazing time I think I will go back again sometime in the future.
You are amazing. You are my favorite streamer to watch that reviews Thailand. I am taking my first trip from New York next month. “My first out of country trip ever.” All the other TH-camrs that show Thailand are hard to watch and don’t get positive feedback from the locals like you do. Thank you for you and Gladys positive personality.
This reminds me of my trip to Oahu, Hawaii in 2016. I plan on going back in 2026 to see how much it has changed! I remember it was expensive but it was fun
That will be a good comparison! A lot changes in 10 years! Definitely an expensive trip!
Mr. Chris:Thanks you so much for heading Honolulu,Hawaii this week after visiting several Southeast Asian countries before heading to Honolulu, Hawaii in January of 2024❤❤❤
Thanks so much for the kind words!
Love travelling with you Chris,all the best to you. From Malaysia ❤
So happy to hear that! Thank you so much 🙏🏻❤️
Yes we love these long vid just talking and showing around!
So glad to hear bro! I have many great ones on the way! I appreciate you 🙏🏻❤️
Hi, Chris your contents are amazing. Every place very country to visit you got a full vibes. One thing I really love to watch ur videos you always support local people. Keep going on brother. Enjoy ur 2024 new year with a good vibes.
I love Hawaii specially Oahu. I will be back on July. Is been 7 years since I was back. Last year I did the big island, 3 years ago I did Maui, but Oahu is my favorite 😍.
Welcome to my hometown bro! I just made the comment on your Sanctuary video 12 hours ago about the Filipino guide. Enjoy your stay!
I like the video, and it confirms exactly what you're saying that that was your first time in Hawaii as you walked past prominent places on Kalakaua Avenue.
Mr. Chris:Congratulations to you for your remarkable visit to Honolulu, Hawaii this week in great joy & peace on your first remarkable visit after “Dreaming To Visit Honolulu, Hawaii” for a long times❤❤❤I wish you safe journeys & good luck always in peace in Honolulu,Waikiki, Hawaii January of 2024❤❤❤
I agree, the tree area of the video was top-tier content. Long-form videos are the best.
You have convinced me to visit Honolulu. Love this video because you showed me the nice shops, clean streets, a beautiful beach. I have been the big island of Hawaii and yes I learned food and drinks are double California prices. But the higher the prices keeps out the rift raft. I appreciate luxury environments and I will pay the price for it. Yes you mentioned the tree. Its called the Banyan tree. I learned that it was a gift from another country to Hawaii and became quite an invasive breed of trees almost plague like. Very cool looking trees though. On the big island you will see them alot. I have a timeshare and this island is always available to me. I must go check it out now. Thanks Chris!
Much beauty and greenery. Folks are colorful and friendly. Awesome beaches, delightful food. My last visit I hated coming home to L.A.
Those are really cool Oakleys! Chris, I swear I thought I watched a video of you in Hawaii before, so this is even cooler you made it here! Very beautiful to see!
Hi Chris, great video mate 👍 really enjoyed, Happy New Year bro 👍 take care.
Why-key-key Brother ... 😎🤙 Thanks for visiting and Aloha
Mr. Chris:Thanks you so much for this new remarkable video today’s from Honolulu, Hawaii to shows these amazing places & beaches on the last 50th U.S. States in January of 2024❤❤❤I am looking forward for your next videos this week or weekend in January of 2024❤❤❤I really LOVE this amazing video today’s watching at home in joy 2024❤❤❤
Think you’re the the only TH-cam travel blogger that’s done Hawaii well out of the decent ones 😂… it’s nice to see someone doing something different and not the same old places keep up the great work Chris amazing 👍
Thank you for the kind words. I hope I don't let you down with this series. I tried to show all the things most people don't without all the music and fancy transitions to give everyone a real life feel
@@Travelwithchris you could never let us down just do what you’ve always done and that’s entertain and do you 👍
Talking about prices there in Hawaii, I wouldn’t be surprised if there that high, no highways 🛣️ or roads for delivery trucks, with r have to be flown in or on a boat??
Hit the iconic Dukes and Hula Grill - right on the beach dining!! Stay at the Outrigger Beach Resort - fabulous location and resort - again right on the beach.
Bro, I don't know why you don't have a million subscribers by now. You're always on TH-cam.
We’re Aussie and recently spent five weeks in the USA, resort fees were a killer! We had two rooms at every hotel (family of six) and moved every four nights, so the resort fees added up very quickly! We don’t have resort fees here thank goodness! We spent some time at Huntington Beach, awesome area!
We stayed at Beachomber on the way home and yeah! Can confirm, it’s a fab place to stay!
You’re never tired, no jet lag
Oh it does get the best of me sometimes n
Thank you for the video! Mahalo!
Waikiki is cool for a day but it's basically like Vegas on the beach. The rest of Oahu is great particularly the north shore. We got a one bedroom condo on the beach in Haleiwa for $150 a night 5 years ago. Full kitchen to save on meals. You can drive to spots where you're the only person in eye sight. Hopefully you discovered Kono's while you were there. Best breakfast burrito ever.
PS I live in belmont heights.
Why-key-key is How locals say it.
Im a new subscriber. Nice videos Bruddah Chris.
Sorry to miss you arrive to Thailand tomorrow for first time in 15 years 😊love your videos so helpful and entertaining
Have such an amazing time!
Chris, you are amazing I enjoy all your videos!....
Thank you so much! Truly means the world to me
Looks beautiful 😮
Mr. Chris:Congratulations to you for heading Honolulu, Hawaii this week in great joy & peace after your “Dreams Come Through” to visit this 50th U.S. States in January of 2024❤❤❤
So stoked to see you in Hawaii, only discovered your channel the other day ! Now these videos ! We absolutely love your attitude ! Good man . 🥰
Thank you so much, I appreciate the support!
A pleasure. Thank you for the awesome content !@@Travelwithchris
Oh and sorry forgot to sy we have stayed at Beachcomber a few times now and have a couple of room reviews, we usually get good deals online though so it includes breakfast etc which saves a lot :)@@Travelwithchris
Isn’t my home such a beautiful place so is the local people. Hope you guys enjoyed our home and learned a lot
Hi Chris , I was at
Hawaii on October to visit my cousin. I went to diamond head grater and Waikiki also Pearl Harbor and the nationwide busiest Costco
Aloha welcome to Paradise ..hope ill meet u one day in Oahu ..loved watch ur video all over the world..enjoy ur stay & happy New year bro..
Thanks so much bro' would love to meet you also! I appreciate the support!
Aloha brother! Glad I found your video. I actually stopped and talk to you when you were filming the command statue. Great content subscribing.
Wow! Hawaii! I lived there once. Be sure to walk to the top of Diamond Head. Insane view of Waikiki when you get to the top.
I take people to Maunalani, that's a view.
Great video Chris, makes me want to jump on a plane for Hawaii right now. How did you find your 7 hour layover in Melbourne? Was that your first time in my country Australia even though it was a layover? You should come make a vlog in my city Sydney.
I love this video, my parents and I are going to be there this April for the first time as well, I would like to see a video the best restaurants to eat in Oahu HI
Yo Chris. I had an intentional 13 hour layover in Oahu where you are in this video, from my Thailand trip and hopefully you are going to go to Bonzai Pipeline area Sunset Beach, North Shore. That whole area is so damn cool..
Thanks for sharing
bro just vlogging with the most beautiful backdrops ever looks like ur in a painting lmao.
What a gorgeous place, Chris! I think that is a Banyan tree that you liked. I saw a tree like that in Australia. The place seems crazy expensive though and as you said I'd rather spend my money on flights to Thailand. Really cool seeing Hawaii from someone that has never been.
Thanks so much Jody! I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! I hope you enjoy the rest of them as well! I wish you the best this year!
Hello. I plan to come to Waikiki and these video was a great way to know what to expect. I love your ease and style in your format. I’m a new subscriber too.
Thank you so much! I hope you have a great time out there!
2:54 Everything is expensive, always. I spend up to $100 a day on nothing, just doing errands. I have no clue how we swing it. 😅
Welina mai CHRIS AND OHANA. Welcome To our humble isles. Unreal that You are here when we were just watching You In Thailand. Our sincere wishes For an awesome vacation In our home. Aloha To You.
Buenas días Chris , welcome back to USA 🇺🇸 Hawaii looks amazing 👍 enjoy your stay ,,
Good morning brother! I wish you a great day! Hawaii was great!
Im going to hawaii in april and we are staying in the waikiki resort hotel for the first 6 days, and actually, the 7th day we r staying at the malia aswell!
Gives me gold coast australia vibes
Studying this like the Zephruder film looking for myself in the background.
I was in Waikiki and i walked that same block with that Garlic Shrimp spot and that same clothing spot around 3 mins.
Hi Chris! The Moana Surfrider Hotel was Waikiki's first hotel built in 1901. Originally, Waikiki Beach was a swampland where fresh water from the mountains mixed with the seawater. Sand was actually shipped in from California to create the sandy beach for tourists to enjoy. Today, new sand is dredged from the ocean bottom to replace sand that has eroded away. I've visited Hawaii over 20 times over a 25 year period. I was last there March 2021 before I got my first Covid vaccine. It was a risk but well worth it!
I’m like you Chris, I dream of going to Hawaii one day!
For local foods, you should try malasadas, poke bowl, shave ice, loco moco etc!
Yes!!!! I hope you make the trip happen soon!
Come!!! Before January 19. Airports might shut down, because NO MO FEDERAL FUNDING. But Broke "D" Biden gonna sell LAND TO CHINA (MORE LAND) and PRINT MO MONEY. Creating more debt and bigger inflation.
haha I used to live in long beach. Only for a year. Moved inland 3 years ago bc of the cheap interest rates. And yes, snoop dog was in Hawaii at that time (last month). I remember wathcing his IG stories 😆 Anyway, we are going here in April for the first time and I am really excited. Only 5 minutes in but Thank you for this!!
Eggs n things is one of my favorite spots for breakfast
I’ve only ever visited Kauai, The Garden Island. We spent two weeks exp;o ring the beautiful island. Back in 2011.
Im from Australia so long flight 😅but I’m so stoked I get to visit in December with my wife 😊
Bro nice video of Waikiki Beach area in Hawaii. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
Aloha from Hawaii Moana Surfrider Westin Resort is the first hotel there in Waikiki. Definitely presidents hotel.
RIGHT ON TIME BROTHER

Hey Chris! Another great video mate!
I suggest you guys try Leonard’s malasadas. You won’t be disappointed…They’re the bomb!!
Greetings from Melbourne.🤙🏽

Thanks bro!
You talk clearly, that's why people like more and more
Thank you 🙏🏻❤️

I just subscribed. I'm vegan but you make great vids and you're a cool dude. I lived in LB near the VA. I love LBC! Moved to FL and got married to my soulmate. Thanks for the vids bro we have not missed an episode my son and i.
A bit of history. In the 1900's, Way before Hawaii became a state. The Moana Surfrider Hotel was the first Hotel built on Waikiki Beach. And Waikiki itself, in short, was a swamp land. That is why the Ala Wai canal was built. To drain the wetlands and ponds. Another oldie is "The Pink Palace of the Pacific" - The Royal Hawaiian. (The pink looking hotel.) And then comes The Sheraton Princess Kaiulani Hotel. In 1957, two years before Hawaii became the 50th State, The International Market Place (IMP) was built with mix bars, shops and eateries. Note: Also, around the early 1900's, Diamond Head was purchased by the U.S. Government for military use. Constructing Gun emplacements and building a tunnel entry through the North wall of the crater. Building bunkers in and around the rim. Yeah, the history is pretty interesting. And oh btw, Oahu is not called The Big Island. Hawaii Island is "The Big Island". Oahu is more like, "The Gathering Place". Maui - The Valley isle. Kauai - The Garden Isle. Kahoolawe - The Target Isle, because the military used to use the island as bombing practice. Bro, there's so much history. The 1800's too! 1893 to be exact! And I'll stop right there. Lol Peace out! Edit: I just liked and subbed, shoots! 🤙🏽
Check out the night market on Wednesday at the back near hard rock cafe
Dennys in Waikiki had decent prices,
I've always enjoyed your videos,
I stayed 7 days in Waikiki , I seen more on your video then my 7 days in Waikiki.
Had a car so my so and I did the rest of the island
Love Hawaii🙂
🙏🏻❤️
Go to the Valley of the Temples, in Kaneohe, too. A must see.
Yes I need to!!!
@@Travelwithchris take the #60 bus. Days pass is $6
Beautiful Havai'i
🙏🏻❤️
Chris, love the sunglasses. I need a pair lol.
Don't have too much fun in Hawaii. You'll never want to leave (:
They are the Oakley HSTN i got 3 pairs lmao awesome shades!
My bad. Just read that this was old footage. All good. 👊🏾
Many options for the ‘plate lunch’ experience. I’m recommending Rainbow Drive-In. Take out only. Kanaina & Kapahulu Aves. Hope you make it to Kauai! 🤙🏾 _its pronounced WHY key key_ ✌🏽
I love your videos. Hawaii, as expensive as it is will never see me as a tourist.
I completely understand!
Aloha Chris! You filmed me carrying my SUP on the beach to go surf. I thought I recognized you lol. Next time you come here, I can hook you up with our AirBnb condo in Waikiki and save you a lot of $$$. Cheers🤙🏽
Chris, the next time you go to Honolulu you should stay at the Hale Koa (military resort) or stay on base since you’re a military vet. The nightly rates are much cheaper and it will save you a ton of money.
Wow I had no idea you could do that! Next time, I'm jumping on that!
