I live across the street from the Byodo-In Temple so I’m happy you added it in. I feel I’olani Palace should have been added in, also Polynesian Cultural Center is another great place to learn culture with lots of fun activities. Since I was born in Nu’uanu I was surprised you didn’t suggest Pali Look-Out for those that might not be able to do those hikes. I do appreciate you educating visitors about leaving the harmful chemicals at home!
I lived on Oahu for 40 years. I saw a green flash, but only once. We were at the banyan beach bar of the Moana Surfrider. It was AMAZING! Many people saw it, and a collective gasp went up. It was FAST! Enjoyed this video. Familiar stuff!
This was more about hiking than anything. I love the Diamond Head hike. There are also some great things to do such as Kualoa Ranch, seeing some gorgeous scenery on horseback, even some wild pigs running around. I love Bishop Museum & Iolani Palace. There's some great history there! Anyone who goes to Sunset Beach Park to surf at Mokapu (Banzai Pipeline) needs to take the undertow current VERY SERIOUSLY. There have been many tourists and locals who drowned when they were pulled in by the tide. It happens so fast and is so strong it's surreal in a bad way.
My husband and I just came back from Oahu(Waikiki), but before going there I like to investigate what is there to do and I came across your beautiful very informative videos and they were so helpful. We had a lot of fun we just want to go back. Thanks 🙏
I live in Oahu and I love your list! One top thing I would add is the Iolani Palace. Pearl Harbor is a great way to get the US history, but the Iolani Palace is super important and cool to be able to learn about Hawaiian history.
I need a vacation as soon as school is out. In Oahu I will be relaxed enough to start my online business. Point out the best place for me to stay-cation in Oahu!
Wish my family out here wanted to do stuff like this. They’ve been in Oahu their whole lives, and just sit around the house all the time. Don’t even go to the beach!? Recently moved from SD. Gonna have to go do all these things by myself 🤷♂️
Go for it if I would have waited on my family to travel the world and do anything, I wouldn't have saw as much in this world as I did. So I say to you go for it!
Greetings from Cambodia. Thanks for your video. Hawai'i was my home for nine years so your pronunciation makes me smile, but your video is interesting and informative. Nice. I appreciate the memories of home Hawai'i.
Please don’t tell people to go on “ illegal hikes or trails” . We have had too many deaths and severe injuries from people going on these hikes. The State is even talking about charging people for the costs of search and rescue. Hawaiian’s are getting tired of taking all our resources to save people who refuse to follow rules! These places are closed or restricted for a reason! Please respect the aina and the people of Hawaii.
Wonderful video. You sure are brave to do some of those trails. Diamond Head is more my speed. Interesting that some people take time to criticize your pronunciation. I thought you said Koko head perfectly. (A little tourist humour). Now for my very minor critique. I don't know if you realized it but at 12:38 you say, " You can see Diamond Head and lots of east and west Maui." Oops, wrong island. Aloha
There are a few independent car rental companies that i’ve learned about. luckyowl.com I’ve never used them but I will be trying to on my next visit. Good luck!
With Covid they sold off a lot of their cars. The whole Aloha Stadium was filled with unrented rental cars. Now the demand is back and the supply is not. That’s why it’s so expensive now. You could try Turo, but also the city bus system is pretty good from what I hear. I’ve never used it tho.
Hello...again, love your video...but Lanikai, not Lanika'i. Kai pronounced with one syllable. I have been emailing your videos to my cousin in WA, encouraging him to come and visit!
I live in Kuliouou! I've done the hike a handful of times. Definitely worth the view at the top. As someone born and raised on Oahu, it's interesting to see what people think of the island.
I went to Honolulu, this passed February 2021 and I loved it..i did not like Giovanni's food. It had no flavor. Very expensive though.I preferred Onawa Restaurant..flavor was 100% better
I don’t like seafood, but I can at least tolerate being around it. But not Giovanni’s. I kept gagging and nearly threw up when I was near it. We love Surf & Salsa, Kua’aina Sandwich Shop, Haleiwa Joe’s Haiku, Beach House by 604, Sakura Japanese Hibachi, Aloha Salads…
Thanks for the great video and tips. Do you have a specific catamaran sailing company that you like? We're going next month to Oahu and looking for a sunset sail.
Just found the channel and this video, thanks for sharing! Since you've done your fair share of hikes on oahu, wondering which ones you recommend for hiking with a 2.5 year old :)
This may be too difficult for you but use your imagination. Close your eyes and imagine driving North while on the East side of an island. Just like anywhere in North America, if you are in the correct lane driving North and the ocean is to the East then your car is closer to the ocean because we drive on the right. You're welcome.
@@TolKOZAK Ah, I made a mistake on which direction is clockwise... 😧 alright I deserve being treated like a moron, ahhhh damn I was stupid... I need to buy a mechanical clock right now
@@chongyulius I should not have treated you so harshly. You are probably very young (under 60) and have only seen digital clocks and watches. Mi dispiace.
We are planning a trip for next year to Maui and Oahu... I've been watching all your videos. This might be my favorite so far. I can't wait for the food one though! lol One of my top bucket list things is a whale watching boat ride. Preferably a smaller catamaran. I've always expected to do it in Maui. But which island do you think is better? Also where would you rank the Diamond Head hike on a level of difficulty? I am a very large girl but fairly active and I've seen lots of mixed reviews.
Thanks for watching 😀 I prefer Maui for a whale watching trip. I always recommend Diamond Head as a great intro hike for Oahu and I think you’d be fine hiking it. Maybe go in the morning to beat the crowds and the heat 🤙
Hello How are you doing today? I'm prince Hamdan the crown prince of Dubai. Nice seeing you, I will want to know you more. Add me on Hangout so we talk. phamdan850@gmail.com
Sort of you need a permit from the FAA and the list of places to not film are schools (parents would not want their children on film), Federal Airspace (military bases that includes Pearl Harbor and Camp Smith and the Airports), any place that is scared to Hawaiians such as Graveyards/Palace/Heiaus/etc...
Maybe you should talk to your gf more often. I’m not judging anything but I have been with my bf for almost 6 years and I’m barely noticing everything that he does for my other daughter, our daughter that is almost a year and how supportive he is with me. He’s 11 years older then me and very wise. I love him so much!
Great suggestions! My first trip to Oahu will be this may but I can find parking spot at Lanikai Pillbox during my research online. Would you recommend me any parking spot? Thanks in advance!
Hi Im planning to visit Oahu this summer. Do you have food recommendations? Also when you say to go counterclockwise to northshore do you mean from Waikiki to kailua area then to the Kuoloa ranch etc
yes, that is the scenic route to northshore because the road is literally right next to the water. You can also stop by the macedamia nut farm along the way near Kaaawa/ Laie.
Yup but be ready. Kailua is my hometown and it's no longer what it used to be. Still a beautiful little beach town. And if you drive around the Lanikai loop. You can see all the big mansions. There's the waiahole poi factory on the way to the north shore just after leaving kaneohe.
I went to Oahu they lied about not letting people vacation they rushed too many things in two and half days and jump on another flight to Maui I changed my education to nursing and passed
@@hennyjit He's right, its true though. Tourism do run Hawaii's economy. If covid doesn't teach you locals a lesson and humbles you, then you locals are dumber than I thought.
Funny, I've noticed this kind of behavior with many locals while visiting Oahu. For a state that survives on tourism, that's kinda odd. Unless I am wrong. Could you comment on it?
@@brettw3907 That is because locals (i.e. Hawaiians and those born and raised there) feel it's disrespectful to the ancestors and gods (Pele) to not pronounce a word properly.

Kuhio Park Terrace is a must see! #1 on top places to visit on Oahu.
Thank you for sharing Josh I’m not a hiker but I’m happy you took time to record your fun activities with all us
I live in Oahu and I love your list! One top thing I would add is the Iolani Palace. Pearl Harbor is a great way to get the US history, but the Iolani Palace is super important and cool to be able to learn about Hawaiian history.
I've always wondered where Glenn went after Season 7. Glad to see it's Hawaii! loved your tips!

Great list! I wish I saw before I went. I went to 6 of the spots on your list anyway.
Nice what was your favorite?
Greetings from Cambodia. Thanks for your video. Hawai'i was my home for nine years so your pronunciation makes me smile, but your video is interesting and informative. Nice. I appreciate the memories of home Hawai'i.

bla bla bla
Your last names Brewer mine is Tupuivao. I'll hike where I please. 💯
You totally screwed, up! Damn fraud! Ykm-- I'm a fraud, of islnd-- kalculus molecules- culture!
Illegal? That would be, with weapons-etc?
oh man, lot of hiking!
I live on Oahu and found this video enjoyable. Actually found a couple things I’ve never done.
I went to oahu 47 years ago, i must say, it's alot busier....it was good to see where i got my first muu muu....ala moana shopping center
cool content..excited for July!
Just an FYI only experience surfers are allowed to surf the North Shore during the Winter Swell because of how dangerous it is.
Well I live in Oahu and I love it! ❤️❤️

This is great. I might move to Oahu, so this helps a lot.
Great tips. Thanks so much for sharing!
Thanks for the video currently in Hawaii and needed a few more things for our adventures
Always wondered where Glenn went after season 7. Glad to see it's Hawaii !
Aloha, l was in Hanauma bay, this wonderful🐟🐠🐡🐠🌅🌄
Great choice for including hamauna Bay its so beautiful!
Seafood consumption, is also affecting the reef and ocean life, not just some sunscreen
Bruh don't go and get boards from in town, When you visit north shore go pick up 10 boards for 40$ from garage sales
Any place in particular you’d recommend?
@@AmViir Costco
In Hawaii it's Brah not Bruh!
Ha! Yeah right. I’ve lived here 2 years and there is nobody on the island that’s gonna sell you one board for $40 let alone 10! 🤣
Thank you.very detailed and informative!
What did you do for ground transportation on the island? Rental cars looks like they're starting around $170 per day.
There are a few independent car rental companies that i’ve learned about. luckyowl.com I’ve never used them but I will be trying to on my next visit. Good luck!
Active Tours Do you recommend Uber or renting your own vehicle?
Do these recommendations offer parking?
With Covid they sold off a lot of their cars. The whole Aloha Stadium was filled with unrented rental cars. Now the demand is back and the supply is not. That’s why it’s so expensive now. You could try Turo, but also the city bus system is pretty good from what I hear. I’ve never used it tho.

Hello how are you doing? I'm prince hamdan the crown prince of Dubai. Good to meet you. I will want to know you. I have an offer for you
Thank you for your video! Can you fix your error at around the 10 min mark you said Maui when you meant to say Oahu
glad i tried them all
Great list! I live on Oahu and some of my favorite spots are on the Leeward side, (if you get a chance, check out Hannara's restaurant)! 😊
Where can I eat a good seafood the cheapest place you know?
You realize you have said the island of Maui..first one after the 10:08 and 12:38 marks.
Guess you were on Maui recently?
I was! Check out my best things to do in Maui vid! Thx for watching
Really nice work!
We love this place, see you on our Chanel
I live in Kuliouou! I've done the hike a handful of times. Definitely worth the view at the top. As someone born and raised on Oahu, it's interesting to see what people think of the island.

I live on Oahu

Pink Sails is good.
Just found the channel and this video, thanks for sharing! Since you've done your fair share of hikes on oahu, wondering which ones you recommend for hiking with a 2.5 year old :)
I recommend Makapu'u Point Lighthouse Trail it’s fully paved, you can explore pillboxes and possible whale sightings. Thx for watching
Are there water refill stations at trailheads?
Not that I’ve ever seen. Happy trails
Thanks for your info. These are amazing 🤩
1:05 - Why driving counter-clock wise makes you closer to the water?? It is Hawaii, not UK or Japan, people drive on the right side of the road
This may be too difficult for you but use your imagination. Close your eyes and imagine driving North while on the East side of an island. Just like anywhere in North America, if you are in the correct lane driving North and the ocean is to the East then your car is closer to the ocean because we drive on the right. You're welcome.

Excellent review Josh🙂
Do you have recommendations for boat rides? :)
#2 Olomana trail, I just don't see how that's a hiking. You go climb up and down with ropes, that sir is called mountain climbing in my dictionary...
You can get to the first peak! 💪💪💪

I have done Diamond Head 4 times and I'm in my 70s. It is between moderate to easy. The long staircase is the hardest part.

where are the sub titles,
I've been to Oahu a dozen times too. But you still taught me some things. Now, I have to go back.
Also, Eunice is hot.
I thought the peak is closed?
Is it ok to bring drone?

Look, more insane-- people, from Napal!
Not everyone is in their 20's..come on ..something for us Seniors I'm 75 I can't do these hikes give us some tours...on buses for us older people
贊
That isn't-- island! You showed- Napal! Fallen One's!
Go to bishop museum and learn the history of the hawaiian Islands, Hawaii is an illegally occupied nation
You got that right! I would say 'iolani palace not bishop museum.
Things to do:
1. Leave California’s inflation brother
REMEMBER IF YOUR ONLY JUST LEARNING HOW TO SURF STAY KN THE INSIDE SO YOU DONT GET IN THE WAY OF THE EXPERIENCED PEOPLE
I already, speak-- kaldy aka = oahu! Damned insurgent! Oahu- son or, brother.
La ni ka i
La ni kai
Good to see u have a girlfriend
You butchered the pronunciation of ....oh, just about everywhere you mentioned?
I went to Oahu they lied about not letting people vacation they rushed too many things in two and half days and jump on another flight to Maui I changed my education to nursing and passed
Number One: Burn $$$
But too expensive every thing
你是华人吗
Top thing not to do....reserve an airbnb
Please DO NOT GO TO HAWAII RIGHT NOW, THERE’S A WATER SHORTAGE BECAUSE OF ALL THE TOURISTS
Not good for non hikers
That isn't-- H'ON'Lux-- not ever!
Please do better research and practice the pronunciation of these Hawaiian place names.
Please and thank you don’t come here during the pandemic
If you have Ohana here then plz you would know not to post this video.
do not motivate people to come to these islands in these times what is wrong with you?
If you are not sick, why not? Tourism is the driving force of Hawaii.
