True Story: I went to visit my buddy in Hawaii (kona) about 10 years ago. We went out surfin a couple times. One day there was warnings on the radio but we went anyways. Right before i got on the wave, there was a sea turtle right next to me. Scared the hell out of me. Then the wave came and my buddy was screaming "paddle out pete!" but it was too late. The wave smashed me and sent me all the way to the bottom of the floor. I started swimming to the surface as i was running out of breath, just to to smash into the sand and find out i was swimming the wrong direction. I barely floated to the top and my buddy put me on his bodyboard and pushed me into shore. He saved my life and i learned a lesson. He said the Sea Turtle was good luck. I will never forget that moment. Be wary of the waves and respect the land

I also heard a tourist say "hey where's the beach called "Peepeelinee?" but it's actually just a regular english word "Pipe line," a surf spot on the north sure with huge waves & barrels that curl like a pipe that spits the surfer out the other end of the pipe, you gotta see it to understand what I'm saying.

As a former Maui nature guide, I really appreciate this video. All good info! The theme of visiting anywhere in Hawaii should be RESPECT. Just be respectful of everything, and everyone. These islands are home to many people, and outsiders, "haoles" need to keep this in mind. It is not a big Disney Land, it's an important cultural treasure that is becoming more and more challenging to preserve. The culture of Hawaii is all about respect for the land, water and people around you. It's about living with Aloha. (love) And you thought it meant hello and goodbye? To a native Hawaiian there is no hello and goodbye, it's a hui ho (till we meet again)

Yeah I’ve over estimated my swimming abilities on the big island more than once, and from now on I won’t even go to a beach to swim unless it’s developed for that purpose.

#20.....very good one. But, try not to refuse ANY gifts offered to by locals. Majority of the time it is our way of showing that Aloha spirit and/or they’ve respected you. So when it’s refused ....it is almost like an insult. Even though you may not have meant it to be. If a gift is refused, ESPECIALLY from a kupuna(elderly/wiser male/female).....almost GUARANTEED ....you will get the dirtiest look😁😁😁. And it will be hard to get back in good graces😂. So, just accept it graciously. And you’ll have a person that will be the warmest energy you will ever meet. 🤙🏾🤙🏾

I was baffled at the amount of trash on the ground on Oahu. Especially right at the water at one of the parks we visited. I hope you all do get recycling and that it becomes part of the law because it is such a beautiful island and should be treated as such. 🏝

Don’t be confused with alcohol on the beach and alcohol on the beach park. There are only 7-8 beach parks that dont allow alcohol. Beach parks belong to the county of Maui and the beaches belong to the state.

Love all your videos, thank you for all the info. I'm coming to Oahu in August and want to do some easy to moderate hiking but I'm traveling solo. What are some trails that you think are safe for a solo gal to hike?
@Livingtheglobe3 жыл бұрын
I'ts safe to hike alone, however its not recommended. We've crated many videos on different hikes on the island, how to get there and full experience. Be sure to check them out. Mahalo

@korichamberlain2 жыл бұрын
For anyone else with the same question, visiting popular trails are a good way to hike alone. That way If you fall or something, another group of hikers should be near by. Not useful if lose the trail, but popular/high trafficked trails tend to be well worn and easy to follow.
