As a person living in oahu, i would say that this is the absolute best video for recommendations. Even the tourist places you recommened are actually worth visiting and im glad you left out the ones that are not worth visiting. Please make more videos like this!
My wife and I have been to Hawaii for 40-50 times! Love some of the things to see and do that we had no idea of! Thanks for putting the vlog and sharing it!
This is a great video! Extremely helpful for planning a trip to Oahu. The recommendations were all interesting and some were definitely new places I haven't seen in other popular videos. Thank you!
Hey Alvin, I originally from Kahala in Honolulu, but now living here at Palm 🌴 Beach Australia Your video was excellent, I've only been to Diamond Head Lookout but ofcourse Ala Moana Mall, the North Shore and Dole Pineapple Factory. Keep up the good word. Kind regards Moe, Palm 🌴 Beach Australia
One of the best parts about Hawaii is all beachfront land is required to be open to the public and can't be privately owned. So if you are at a resort they have to provide access to the shore and some amount parking as well.
Wow great tips Alvin! Been dreaming of visiting Oahu and watching this is just very helpful! I always think that travels are made easier when you have the best travel gears and essentials too. The bento bag from Nomad Lane is my best carry-on bag for travels like this. Thought I'd share it with you guys too!
For a long stretch of uncrowded beach that is rimmed with trees if you want to escape the sun, I suggest Waimanalo, also called Sherwood. It’s our favorite due to its relaxed atmosphere and shade.
FYI I called Kualoa Ranch, and they said if you don't book online they charge a $15 non-refundable surcharge. They claim their website is working, but I was unable to book anything
Stay 10 feet from the turtles! They are protected and you can't get near them. And if you have any health issues, don't listen to a thing in this video- none of these hikes are for bad knees, ankles, hearts, etc. (To include Diamond Head, which you need to hit by 5:45 am if you want parking, after you make a reservation with their new system.)
Lanikai is nowhere near Diamond Head and you cannot see Lanikai from Diamond Head! And Lanikai is not on the North Shore and the sun does not disappear early.....get your facts straight.....

Make sure you go to the Byodo Temple! Get the bird/fish food from the gift shop. The birds and swans will eat it right out of your hand!!! 😇
Thank you for the car rental advice!!! We were freaking out about having to almost spend a grand on each island!
This was great, thank you
Anytime friend
Is it possible to snorkel at the kaneohe sand bar without knowing how to swim?
For a long stretch of uncrowded beach that is rimmed with trees if you want to escape the sun, I suggest Waimanalo, also called Sherwood. It’s our favorite due to its relaxed atmosphere and shade.
Hey man don’t expose our spots like that we locals don’t like that lol
Waimanalo is too far away and boring.
Were those your drone shots? Any recommendations on drone spots on the island?
Yes they were! Honestly the beaches on the west side were amazing. Ridge hikes are great too
FYI I called Kualoa Ranch, and they said if you don't book online they charge a $15 non-refundable surcharge. They claim their website is working, but I was unable to book anything
That’s a bummer. I booked online. Maybe there’s a bug now
try explore Bali, Indonesia u will see the difference
Nice video . A 30 day stay ? :)
Attempted Pali Notches Feb 2023 - it is no longer being maintained, and was treacherous. I bailed after 1/4 mile for safety concerns.

where did Kamehameha live on Oahu?
Anywhere he wants to.
Would you ok to list your video gear ?
Of course! I actually just shoot on my iPhone 12 Pro Max and my DJI mavic air 2. I also use moment lenses on my iPhone.
Do not take prok in the tank the Hawaii ghost wii get you 🙈🙉🙊
Lanikai is nowhere near Diamond Head and you cannot see Lanikai from Diamond Head! And Lanikai is not on the North Shore and the sun does not disappear early.....get your facts straight.....
Go fishing or pig hunting or raise your own chickens. Grow your own vegetable. Save money on food.
Good Video.. The Music is NOT Necessary, it is distracting and annoying!
I barely noticed it.
Amateur camera work. Too much headroom.
thank you.
braddah no ack!! haoles go home!!!
