Join me on a 8-day trip to visit Honolulu, O'ahu, Hawai'i for the first time. I hike otherworldly trails, swim in the bluest oceans, eat delicious food & meet many beautiful people.
I hiked Kokohead Lookout, Makapu'u Point Lighthouse, Diamond Head, Manoa Falls, Halona Blowhole & Olomana Trail. I went swimming at China Walls, Waimanalo Beach, Bellows Beach & Ala Moana Beach. I ate at Rainbow Drive-In, Monsarrat Shave Ice, KCC Market, Bellows AFB Market, Ala Moana Night Market, Zippy's & Foodland. Lastly, I watched the weekly Hilton firework show.

Thank you for the memory lane.. Visited the same Shave Ice cream shop lol.. Missed out the Mano falls.. Were you staying in an AirBnB?

@NCGTravel Жыл бұрын

Np, thanks for commenting! I actually stumbled upon that shaved ice shop going somewhere else. Yeah, turned out to be cheaper than hotels in the area when I took paying for hotel parking into consideration.

Hey man do you have any other recommendations I'm going next year for 10 and i like to visit more places

@NCGTravel 10 ай бұрын

I was there in May (haven't posted the vlog yet) and took surfing lessons with Moku and did more hikes (Lulumahu Falls, Kuli'ou'ou Ridge, and Pali Puka). Look up Oahu Circle Island Tour, it'll take you around the whole island.
