I've been planning for months while utilizing your youtube videos & itinerary. I always get excited when I get a notification that you've uploaded more material🙂 Your guys's knowledge, experience, and opinions has helped me so much! Thank you!! I do have a question for you two which might have been better to ask in a different video... I'm curious if you guys have heard of Kahana Adventures over at Kahana Bay. They do SUP & kayak rentals. Without experiencing it in person and just going off of videos, it looks like it could be a great time. Maybe comparable to Haleiwa kayaking & SUP.... maybe not? Anyway - we're coming to Oahu for 10 days this summer and I was thinking of taking our family there. Would love to hear your thoughts or at the very least maybe an idea for your family to check out if you haven't already. A big Mahalo to you all!

@TheHawaiiVacationGuide 5 ай бұрын

Kahana Bay is a beautiful spot. Do it! Let us know how it goes. It should be wonderful up there this summer and easy to pair with Kualoa Ranch activities. There is good hiking over there too.

The "no trespassing" tip really irritates me (not the tip; the trespassing). I've seen so many hikers go off trail or think that signs are just there to complement the natural setting. Trespassing does two things additional things: it gives tourists a terrible name, and will eventually force the state or county to just close the trail completely.

If you like donuts, you really need to check out Ani's Bakeshop in Halawa. They only make glazed and chocolate covered, but I think they made be the best anywhere! You have to go early because they usually sell out by 9am. Their primary specialty is sweet breads and haupia pies. We normally stay in Kailua when visiting Oahu and I get up at 5am and drive across the island to grab some donuts.

Speaking of jet lag, I also make our dinner reservations around 2:30-3:30 pm because to our bodies, that’s the same time we eat back home on the west coast.

My husband and I will be in Oahu in April. We are visiting our son who is stationed there. We are so looking forward to it, and I appreciate videos like this. Do you have a video on specific words to know ahead ahead of time to be able to show our appreciation properly and be even more immersed in the whole experience of being there? Mahalo

Thanks for asking. We follow community led tourism management plans for each island. Molokai's guidance is they are focusing on other industries and resources for their community.

@@TheHawaiiVacationGuide I guess they want to protect their native Hawaiian culture on Molokai. I don't blame them.
