Does WAIKIKI BEACH Live Up To The HYPE?? Our Last Day in Hawaii...
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 2 ส.ค. 2024
- Today is our last day in Hawaii and it is all about relaxation! We have a hotel overlooking Waikiki Beach (Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel) so decide our last day, we are going to stay right here... And the hotel has a great perk in that you get two beach chairs and an umbrella included in your stay! So we grab these and stake out our spot at the beach for the day.
Waikiki Beach is the most famous and busiest beach on Oahu... so does it live up to the hype? The first area we chose was on a lagoon so you could go out in very shallow water without having the waves, this is perfect for kids. And while we did like it, we decided to more a little further down and we are so glad we did! The waves look strong, but if you just let your body go, you will bob up and down with each wave and never go under the water. I swear I spent an hour doing this! There is also good snorkeling off the beach... and the waves are great for boogie boarding and surfing. We loved watching all of the surfers out there!
We ended the night with a walk along the beach to Duke's for dinner. It was delicious and watching the sunset over Waikiki Beach on our final night in Hawaii was the perfect ending!

As a local Hawaii resident, I am so happy to know that you had a great time here. Thanks for promoting our island home and wish you the best. Look forward to your return soon! Aloha!
I stayed at the Sheridan WAIKIKI in 1991 for a week and loved every minute of it........What a fabulous beach and equally fabulous view of the extinct volcano and all those great hotels lining the shore.......I watched the sunset go down every evening while relaxing by the pool and being entertained by hula dancers and Hawaiian music......Everyone should go at least once if they can afford it.........
Loved all your videos of your Hawaiian vacation. You both have done a great job showing off each place you went. Your enthusiasm and enjoyment of everything you do is a joy to watch and really makes me want to be there! 👍😀
Next time in Maui - drive out to Hana - experience the highway full of waterfalls and what maui was 50 years ago. NO Hi-rises or fastfood. Just beautiful jungle and delicious food trucks. Try Tony's Place for awesome food and beautiful scenery. Aloha!
We LOVE Hawaii too! My husband and I just finished a 1 month workcation there in June and we looovveeedd it! We did the cruise in 2019 and it was amazing as well!! Glad you all extended your time there. We can’t wait to go back next year hopefully 🙏🏽
OH girl, you learned the way to let the OCEAN take and relaxe you. I grew up in Virginia Beach, that's how I rolled. Just go out past the breaker lean into the swell of the wave and just float. I lay on my back or on my belly and just close my eyes and relaxe. Tuning the whole world out. Glad you enjoyed it!
Thanks for sharing your last day on Oahu! Brought back so many wonderful memories of our first trip there in 2008. I look forward to watching your next adventure.
Great video 🌸💐🌸💐
I spent a full week on the Big Island years ago and enjoyed every single day of it. We drove clear around the island, visited the rain forest, Mauna Loa Observatory, Volcanoes National Park, a farmer's market in Hilo, watched a volcano erupting at the southern tip of the island and so much more. Such a great time. My husband and I are booked on the Pride of America for February and can hardly wait. Also booked for Alaska on the Bliss & later on the Breakaway to Cozumel, Rhoatan, etc. Thanks for all your informative videos to help us maximize our crusing.
This video brought back fond memories. Loved Duke's. Thanks for sharing.😎😎
Looking good Dave!
You guys are the luckiest people. That was a beautiful trip.🇨🇦✈️ safe flight home.
Thanks for taking us with you to this beautiful place. So beautiful just seems like such a special vibe to the island. Everyone seems to love Hawaii!
We absolutely fell in love with Hawaii 🌺
Bravo… beautiful trip! You guys are really exciting the way y’all let us all enjoy your trip! Very fun! Thank you for sharing.
I loved getting up about 5am as the sun was coming up, head down to the water near those piers, and watched the octopus feeding on shrimp and others. I love Hawaii. Safe travels home guys!
Beautiful beach. Glad you guys are having some R&R !! Safe travels and stay well!!!
Loved following your trip!! Thanks for sharing!
If you go back to Oahu with your son you should stay at the Hale Koa, the amazing military resort located on a huge prime spot on Waikiki. It is much less expensive than other hotels that are located on Waikiki.
We are staying at Hale Koa next week after the cruise. Amazing hotel.
Thanks for taking us along. This looks like a blast!!
Again thanks for the memories. It was great seeing a lot of my old haunts, Dukes, Dukes Marketplace and many walks I took on the beaches of Waikiki. It is an awesome place to visit.
Thankyou for sharing. Love watching you two. ❤️ Enjoy your life
Thanks for sharing this awesome trip! Those wings are huge! I usually order them naked & fried extra crunchy with sauce & ranch on the side & celery of course! I just get hungry watching y’all! Cheers from Alabama! Linda
Thank you so much for sharing, you do a great job videoing your adventures. Love watching y’all!
My wife and I ate at Dukes when we went to HI. The views there are incredible and the food it outstanding.
I can't believe all that time you were in Hawaii didn't go to a luau! A must-do on your next trip to Hawaii.
Beautiful video’s and beautiful islands. 💖💖Hopefully we get there this time and these videos will come in handy!! 🙏🏼💖🛳⚓️
I’m an Aussie and Hawaii is my happy place 🌴. We love that end of the beach where you sat….but anywhere is great! The first time we went to Oahu, Dukes was the first place we ate and the last place we ate. So now we try to do that when we come, although it is getting very busy. Tikis, in your hotel is great too. We had a 4 week trip to all the islands booked in 2020 which we had to cancel because of COVID…..can’t wait to get back there again!
Having no plans is the best plan!
I really enjoyed your adventures in Hawaii, and on the NCL Pride of America. Thank you so much for sharing. I’ll be watching them all again next year before we do the same cruise!!!
Oh Boy EECC Travels did it right! I feel for you though because I have had many last days in HI. This was one of my favorite set of vlogs you have done yet. Sounds like you all caught that "Aloha Spirit" The Beach in front of the Royal Hawaiian is my favorite on Waikiki, but that park near your hotel in front of Queens Surf Beach is spectacular. Past that park towards Diamond Head is a neighborhood called The Gold Coast, it's a wonderful stroll and worth a visit. I Love Oahu but Maui will forever be my jam!!!! Mahalo iā ʻoe EECC Travels
All the best on your travel back home. Cheers.!
Oh my goodness thanks for the memories. When I first moved to Hawaii, I lived in Waikiki in a high-rise right by the Pacific beach hotel. My favorite place to spend Sunday afternoons was at Dukes I love it there thank you for the memories I really appreciate them
Thank you for share with is have a safe trip home
Great video . Thank you
Amazing, guys! Mahalo
I love it! We are going in April so this is very helpful and exciting! Thank you both for sharing it with us! ♥️
What an amazing anniversary trip. I am jealous. Wanna go there too!
Love love this place🌴🌴🌴🌴
I have enjoyed all of your Hawaiian videos every time I have ever went to Hawaii I stayed at the Waikiki Outrigger reef Hotel . I love Dukes and the view is absolutely beautiful. So happy y’all had such a wonderful vacation. Happy Anniversary, God bless.
We love your videos! We’ve been to the big island several times. It’s our favorite. Hapuna beach is the best. Lots of great snorkeling places also. A lil bit of everything on that island if you can only choose one island! Oahu was our least favorite. Too crowded and tourist-y.
We visited the Hawaiian Islands back in the 70s! Stayed at the Sheraton Waikiki. The most relaxing day of my life was the day I went to the Waikiki Beach and, as you called it, bobbed in the water. I have never felt so relaxed. It was amazing. I couldn’t get over how far out you could walk and not have the water over your head. It was the best!
I swear I spent an hour just bobbing up and down, loved it!!
I love Hawaii love cruising there and visiting
We are off to Honolulu in 4 days. We always stay at the Outrigger. If you get an ocean front room you can hear and see the great live entertainment at night right from your balcony. You can also get into Dukes bar from the side, then you don’t have to walk through the restaurant.
I cant believe its over. Even for you guys, this had to be the trip of a lifetime. 14 days in Hawaii exceeds a bucket list trip.
It really was an incredible trip!!
Nice Hawaii vlogs…….. your son looks identical to Jason. Enjoyed this series a lot!
I’m taking my family there in September can’t wait thank you
Such a beautiful place
I grew up in KAPAHULU… and it’s just a skip & hop from The famous Waikiki Beach, I use to ride my bicycle or walk to the beach with our surf board or boogie board right from school. Swim & surf all day… what a memorable day in the life of a kid that grew up at the foot step of The famous Waikiki Beach on the Island of Oahu… enjoy your last day.. glad you folk have fun… Aloha!
Wow, that sounds amazing!
Really good series! I've only been to Oahu, and that was almost 30 years ago. Would like to do the cruise as well, and get to see a bit of each island. I did love Oahu. - Coreen
Going to be there on Monday.. thanks.
My 2nd Time Watching👍👏🌴🌺☀️!!!
I experienced that wave action on Ka'anapali beach on Maui...loved it there. Just floating for hours! We did a day pass to the Westin there...just loved it.
Never had issue with getting table at Dukes bar-even over 4th of july weekend. Love that place, Hula Grill was awesome for 4th of July with sunset seating!
Thanks so much love the videos! We leave next week for POA and then another week. We were there about 10yrs ago. Mahalo for your videos🌴🏝🙂
Have a great trip!
Hello guys! We were just there from 06-20=06-30.We visited the big island for the first time, Oahu for the third time , and Maui for the second time. My kids love the big island and Oahu the best. They did not like Maui as much for two reasons, the place is pretty windy and hotel accommodations were so expensive. We plan on going back to the Big Island and Kahui which is the island that we have not visited.
I'm so happy you enjoyed our beautiful Aloha State I live on Maui I love watching you guys ALOHA❤❤🌺🌺🌺🌺
Thanks.
Would love to hear/see some tips for snorkeling the first time!
The buffet at Dukes was great when I went. The prime rib and garlic mashed potatoes were delicious.
Its would be really cool to see a shark 🦈 while snorkeling.😊
You guys are sitting exactly where my husband and I sat when we were there beginning of March.
I have enjoyed watching your videos and ParoDeeJay. I wish they werent ending.
I’ve really enjoyed watching your videos of Hawaii. I’m heading there in September and doing much the same trip as you. Can’t wait to get there. Fourth times a charm (thanks covid).
Next time you’re on Oahu, you’ve got to get malasadas from Leonard’s and go to Lanikai beach.
LOVED Tiki's-we stayed down the street at Banyan-Tiki's was our go to (that and Dukes). Came home with Tiki tiki glass too lol!
Wow. A friend gave me one of those hula girls about eight years ago. I still have it! Lol.
😀
Need to go the the Flee market at the aloha
Stadium next time
I want to get my 12 yr old a ukulele. He learned how to play one in music class and is now OBSESSED with them. His father is Mexican, Filipino, and Japanese. I think this would be great for him! I am all the white LOL
Next time - Kauai - kayak to Secret Falls, Kauai Coffee Company, Irrigation canal tubing
Maui - Haleakala
Looks like you guys found your island. I was born in Honolulu before Hawaii was a state and I'm not sure I've found my island yet. 🤪
Waikiki is the best place to learn to surf
Nose in the ice water...!🤣😆😁
I always order my wings like that well done crispy is key
That's on queen Beach ⛱️
Hopefully one day I can make it to Hawaii. Every time I watch one of your videos my 1 year old starts clapping…she loves Jason and Alisa :)
What hotel did you stay at in Waikiki? It looks like such an amazing stay!!!
We were at Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel.

Jason you are a good husband 👍😎 Alisa you are a good wife👍😎 Loving watching your travels 💕😎 Thanks for sharing your adventures and thoughts 😊
When you bit into that pulled pork salad my mouth watered.
It was yummy!!
I was hoping Jason would get the ukulele!
He wanted to but we didn’t find the right one.
Just another reason to go back. ;)
Noooo it can't be over! Nooooooooooo.
I know! I am ready to go back already!!
Beautiful beach day! You can order those fat blow noodles from Zulilly, they have the hammocks or chairs too. That stinks your blew away!
As far as beaches go, I found Waikiki to be underwhelming. Maybe I'm too spoilt in Sydney
If you like your wings crispy you can still have the sauce on your wings just tell any place to just drop your wing with the sauce.....If the wings still look saucy have them drop them again
Me and my little sister Emma moved from Hollywood Hills Los Angeles California to Honolulu Hawaii few months ago I own a home in Honolulu in gated community 10 minutes from Waikiki Beach ⛱️ I own a private island in Fiji 🇫🇯 now we are in Tonga 🇹🇴 😀 🙂 😳 🙃
I know your home now, but leaving Hawaii had to be so very sad.
We went to Hawaii last years my son in the military they took us to the beach and our daughter in law ask we wanted sunscreen we said no we be fine BE mistaken lol we love it there going back in December
My beautiful home city of Honolulu but we are in Tonga 🇹🇴 on our private island 🏝 mom and dad own 8 Beach front homes 24/7 security 💙 restaurant pools and if course the pacific 😀 on our door step love from McKinley_18 in Tonga 🇹🇴 ❤️ ♥️ 💖
When you are both in the ocean what do you do with your phone and valuables?
We put everything in our backpack and wrap the strap around our chair.
Which hotel did you stay on Oahu?
How do you join your travel group/family?
We have several open cruises: eecctravels.com/groupcruises
You both are so cute... my dream is to go there..I'm 64 and I keep tilling my husband to take me there but he has no desire to go . So I'm planning a trip with my girlfriend. Is it better to go there on a cruise or just stay in a resort?
Surfing next time !
What is the name of the hotel you stayed at
We were at Aston Waikiki Beach Hotel
Thank you so much, went to Hawaii in 1986, still dream to go back, was supposed to in 2020, but the pandemic altered our plans. We never know maybe 2023 will be the year !
Big island is our least favorite also
I like my ribs like that. Dry rub then dip in sauce.
I didn't know Duke's has a walk up or bar, I wanted to try it but didn't know they had a 7 week wait on reservations so missed out on our recent trip.
Yeah it was a 2+ hour wait for a table… but we got a bar table in just a few minutes!!
