I’m taking my dad this summer and we booked this trip prior to him having an amputation. I’m glad to hear it’s still doable. I want him to experience Hawaii. 💚
Omgosh I am too. My dad just had an amputation of his lower right leg and im taking him to Hawaii in September.
Thank you ladies for making this video.
Thank you so much for this video.
Accessible is a relative term. It looks like the city of Honolulu needs to upkeep their ramps. If they had regular sweeping they look like they could help those of us in chairs get very close.
You make a great point about the level of upkeep needed for beach ramps! It's no small job with the tides and winds always in play.
I am so glad I found your channel. I'm in a wheelchair as well and I have dreamed of going to Hawaii since I was a kid but never got the chance. I lost both my legs 12 yrs ago in a bad trucking accident. I understand and feel your frustration.
Hi guys!!! Im going to hawaii this summer ao i knew i had to watch your videos again!!
Hi Ashley! Love that! You are going to have so much fun. 🌺
I feel your pain since I’m handicap too but I’ll still love to go to Hawaii no matter what . Don’t let the wheelchair stop you from having fun
Amen to that! Hope you get to go one day!
This is so cool! I lived in Hawaii previously, I actually left to get cancer treatment that ultimately has left me disabled and unable to use my left leg . My wife and I are really considering moving back . I was curious about how accessible everything was bc before I wasn’t looking for it. Thanks for the vid!
Totally understand what you’re saying about never noticing accessibility until you need it! That’s exactly why we’re documenting our travels. 🙂🎥 Oahu is definitely one of the most accessible places we’ve visited - glad we could give you a glimpse of its best!
Awh this is great! We hope to go to Hawaii at some point!!
I'm hooked, keep it coming!
We sure will! Stay tuned!

wonderful video and god bless you.
Y'all dope
I live in San Diego! You can get on the beach and int whater
That’s fantastic. Go San Diego!
I am disabled in a wheelchair ALSO I can walk a short distance with my walker but it’s so much sand on the ramps I can’t even walk through that I would end up falling since my balance not good
Sand is a HUGE challenge when you have any degree of limited mobility. Beach chair to the rescue!
I am an electric wheelchair too, when getting off the plane what Transportation did you use to get to your hotel or Airbnb? I always have a hard time finding Weel chair lift Taxi.
In Hawaii we used the HandiVan, Oahu’s paratransit service. Fun fact: Every place in the US that has public transit MUST have a wheelchair accessible service to complement it! As long as you can fit your luggage on your lap, you can take the HandiVan from the airport to your lodging anywhere on the island. You can ride with an assistant and a friend, or they can take a taxi/Uber and bring your luggage if you’re not traveling light. 💁🏻♀️ You can visit the HandiVan website for eligibility info, but if you already qualify for paratransit in your home county, you can request visitor status ridership with your existing qualifications. Oahu also has a number of taxi companies with wheelchair accessible vans in their fleet, but really you can’t beat the HandiVan. www.honolulu.gov/transportation/divisions/mobility/thehandi-van.html
@@ThatsHowWeRoll thank you for this information!! Whenever traveling I always have to do an extensive research to make sure I don't get stuck in a jam.
@@artistdeluxe Absolutely! Story of our lives - we get it 100%. Happy this info can help!
Did you guys stick to city buses or was there other options you explored?
Oahu’s public transit is great. The bus system is accessible island-wide and there’s also a paratransit option called the HandiVan. Highly recommend both!
Beach wheelchair would help, but you would have to transfer to a beach wheelchair
Bingo. 😀 Keep watching and you’ll see a beach wheelchair make an appearance in the next segment of this episode!
Oahu is the worse with ADA access. Many restaurants, stores, hotels, sidewalks, parks, all by pass the laws. City parks like the Kokohead trail have NO ACCESS for wheelchairs, yet it is a city park. There are sidewalk ramps and The Bus ramp because they got sued years ago. city and state just don't care. Not enough money to be made catering to ADA rules.
I don't mean the people as such, but Hawaii seems a bit discriminatory towards wheelchair users and that in 2020
It's actually a surprisingly accessible place, and you'll meet a lot of people thinking and working toward making it even more so!
