Hawaii is slowly losing its Hawaiians 😢but it still is beautiful ❤ but there’s no Hawaii without the locals ☹️☹️ - Me a Native Hawaiian

Native Hawaiians are literally begging people not to go . The tourism has been skyrocketing inflation and homelessness. most houses are now Airbnb's , people getting evicted BC tourists pay more, houses are completely unanffordable. Please Go visit somewhere else.

Tourists shouldn't be blamed, it's greedy landlords.

Yes, Aloha, welcome but make sure you leave!

As a native Hawaiian I feel sad that this is happening I had to move due to personal stuff but my grandma who has been living there since she immigrated from the marshalle islands and my grandpa who was born there had to sadly leave there home due to tourist they were either really disrespectful trashing Hawaii or all of the above please stop visit there unless you are going to be kind and respectful towards locals and the land in its self Edit: bro do your research our home was taken away from us even while we were our own nation.

A lot of Hawaiian don’t live on Hawaii because it is to expensive here on Hawaii and no one listens to the signs🤙🏾

The biggest thing that no one seems to understand when coming here is respect. Just respect people, respect places, respect that this is someone else’s home. Had a tourist tell one of my friends (who’s a local) to “go back to [her] country” during Covid (right after travel restrictions were removed) because she was Asian. Just show aloha, be kind when you visit, but always go back home. -Oahu resident

Love when people visit my home with respectful intentions, but please don't forget to go home 🤙🏼

What we don't tell you is that we really don't want you flying here at all haha!

As a Hawaiian, it's sad to see that tourists get a bad rap because of the actions of a few. For the most part, tourists are not disrespectful and try not to bother anyone, but because one family out of a thousand didn't follow the rules, it makes all tourists look bad; even the good ones. Sadly, this results in many people in my community and other Hawaiians hating haoles and tourists so much that it becomes borderline or actually racist and xenophobic. Yes, some problems in Hawaii are related to tourism, but not ALL of them are. Some issues are caused by ourselves, but locals are quick to point fingers at outsiders because it's easier to do so rather than to own up and fix it ourselves. And the worst part is that it works since locals already hate haoles and the haoles feel bad for things that happened a hundred years ago.

thats awfully rude. it’s not the tourist fault people are winding up homeless, it’s that people raise prices for everything WHEN tourists visit. you should definitely welcome them and wish them an amazing time, but they shouldn’t move in there, they should just take their leave soon. as long as they are nice and don’t trash they land, why can’t they visit?

Also what they don't tell you: When you go back home from Hawaii you have to go through an extra scanner, because they don't want any invasive species going in or out of the state.

As an Oahu resident and a frequent flier to the other islands I can confirm it is beautiful

I’m from Hawaii and i got a few things to say. As a Hawaiian I deeply ask you to stay but make sure you go! Tourists that come here cause inflation, or people getting kicked out of their house. And tourists are expected to pay more. Where I live, just across from my area, one area of homes cost about 1-4 MILLION dollars. And in Waikiki, nothing but tourists. So please, stay, but leave soon. Mahalo from a local hawaiian 🤙🏾. P.S make sure you wen respect da locals 😂🤙🏾

This is happening in Puerto Rico know everyone is renting as airbnb and you can't find housing and the rents are like in the states,people here don't make much money to pay more than they make something has to be done about this

As a hawaiian and frequent flier throughout the hawaiian island chain, I can confirm that both sides of the plane have beautiful views. Mahalo for visiting and hope you enjoyed your stay. 🤙🏼

Nobody else questioning the song choice???

I’m from Hawaii but had to move away because I was evicted from my home since the owner wanted to turn it into a Airbnb, and since housing was so expensive on the rest of the island my only options were to live on the streets or find somewhere in a different state. Enjoy Hawaii but please go home, natives are rapidly losing their homes.

No one should feel guilty for wanting to visit a beautiful place. There are people that travel to multiple places that are beautiful and the argument remains the same. Life is just becoming too expensive, and that’s the root of the issue, not the place.

u will never know why this has 700 likes

As a Hololulu native, Hawaii is very beautiful and has many beaches and shops. 🩷

People are blaming Hawaii's horrible economy on tourism yet Florida experiences more tourism than Hawaii and the severity of the issues aren't comparable. The reason why Hawaii is unaffordable has alot to do with the legislature and taxation.

It’s sad how Hawaiian’s are becoming homeless because of tourists but I don’t really think tourists should be blamed. It’s beautiful there. The only thing that should be expensive is the trip there and resort hotels where tourists stay at. They shouldn’t be raising the prices of everything else for the locals too because that’s their actual home.

I’m not native Hawaiian but lived there for a while and we moved bc we couldn’t even find parking when trying to have a family day at the beach and prices are ridiculous, drugs are a huge problem and when u park at the beach sometimes ppl break windows to get your money and homelessness is crazy bro. And natives are annoyed bc tourists aren’t respecting the land, buying houses there for vrbo and airbnb and the locals can’t find houses to live in, people are taking stuff from the island, ppl aren’t reading the signs! So if you plan to visit please respect the locals and the sea life, READ SIGNS and if you go out try to go to local restaurants not chain restaurants (prices are crazy so most ppl just eat pbjs or ramen)

See I'd feel so so guilty going to Hawai'i, but I've been studying the language for a while and I'd go purely to be educated on culture, history, and continue learning ka 'ōlelo and not just for some fancy holiday

No, don't tell people this. It will go viral and those seats will skyrocket up in price.

Aloha= people says it as a greeting/ goodbye/hi Mahalo= thank you Welcome to Hawaii🎉

I simply can’t get enough of the beauty my eyes lay upon when I come back home

What we tell you : always go back where you came from

blessed to live on that beautiful island

My heart goes out to anyone who lost there home due to the fires.

Lets not forget 5 hours of ocean view while the plane crosses the ocean.

I am sad for thoes loosing their homes I had no idea that people were loosing their homes in hawaii, I am sorry to all the locals as a tourist who visited hawaii a long time ago for the people who are being disrespectful and outright rude, I hope that one day you will have your home back. To any american tourists from california: Come but don’t stay for too long come back to california. it’s fine for a bit but please be respectful while in hawaii this means no littering, no disrespect, and no rude / sassy behavior, and always return home.

I know Hawaii has a similar issue to my friends homeland- non tourist Times become wastelands, where entire towns or villages are empty because the airbnbs that were once houses have no bookings.

For the people complaining about tourism: Hawaii’s economy is mostly based off tourism. Tourism helps the economy there and it provides a large percentage of the jobs there. Also the price of housing has to go up to meet the demand of people wanting to move there because there isn’t much room to build more housing complexes on those small islands, so obviously it’s expensive to live there.

Oh my GAWD!! It's SO BEAUTIFUL even from that far up!!!!!!!

I find it funny that almost every comment on this video lives in Hawaii….

I was born in Honolulu and it is beautiful but had to move /// military parents

The most beautiful island and beaches I've ever seen. A place that should have been respected and the Queen should never have been arrested and the Islands should have stayed and belonged to the Native Hawaiians!

seeing what’s happening in hawaii sucks so much. it’s the same path portugal/the açores is on and i couldn’t imagine losing a place so deeply rooted as home like that

i went to hawaii a bit ago and i can confirm it is beautiful, both the actual island and the view

i really dont think it’s tourists fault cause if they wanna visit a place, let them its not up to the locals. hawaii is a beautiful place, u expect people NOT to visit at all? thats crazy.

I am Samoan, but its sad to what's happening in Hawaii. My mother was born in hawaii, and raised. Reading all these comments make me question what people feel about Hawaii when they live there.

⚠️Here's another fact about Hawaii, that you wouldn't know unless you've been, cuz it is very obvious! But did you know that the tourist not only destroy the land but also kinda helps at the same time! And they also are pushing all the homeless out to the west side, so no tourists can see the reality of the amount of locals getting kicked out of their rightful island! They also made it “public knowledge” (even tho they’ve been doing it for years now) for any homeless who wants a one way ticket from their home to the mainland can get a ticket!!!! Literally pushing them out and bribing them with a lil cash to make the disappear!⚠️

The hunger games song is kind of ironic when you see the comments

Lesson learned from the comments: don't go to Hawaii 👍

Why don’t people understand? More tourists are deciding to live in Hawaii which is leading more natives to be homelessness because the tourists are paying more. PLEASE. DO NOT MOVE TO HAWAII! You can visit, but please for the love of god don’t move there, the natives are going homeless because of it.

Guys. Can you all stop criticizing them for going on vacation?! I feel bad because they just wanted to go to Hawaii and everyone is saying “Please go somewhere else” “Leave” “We dont want you here” I understand all this tourist stuff but let them go on vacation. You cant control them so dont bother commenting that stuff.

y’all shouldn’t blame tourists who visit hawaii and are respectful to the people and the land but rather the people that destroy and trash it

The music tho!

That is so beautiful!

As an American who lives in Michigan. Stop freaking going to Hawaii. Tourism has ruined LOCAL LIFE. Crime is up from what I’ve heard, the housing market is insanely high, and local Hawaiians are moving away. I don’t know much but Hawaii’s rich culture and life is dying and we will lose one of the greatest wonders in the world. Hell after the fires that devastated their islands we should stay far away for YEARS let the land and people heal please. Let them be.

"Alright thank you for flying with Hawaiian Airlines, but haoles who aren't from here just remember to go home"

I’m not Hawaiian but I’ve grown up with it’s culture my whole life. I love the islands so much and I respect the Hawaiian people, their islands, and their culture. The history of how the islands got taken away from its people is so upsetting to me. So much so I literally got into a full blown argument with my teacher about it when he started stating VERY wrong information of what happened. I put him in his place and educated him of the truth of what happened. I want to move back (I moved from Hawaii when I was 6; I’m now 15 - I visit Hawaii a lot though) when I go to college but if that is upsetting to the Hawaiian people then I will respect their wishes. Aloha kekahi i kekahi 🤙🏽❤️

My aunts ex husband married a native Hawaiian. He adapted nicely. He's considered one of them now. I miss him but he's living the rest of his life as best he can. His wife is amazing and I love them both soo much.

as a person who has lived in hawaii their whole life, we have a beautiful place! Mahalo for coming into our land.

What they don't tell you is to have a pen handy by u . Because before u land on the islands, the airlines hand out a questionnaire form that is monitory that u fill out and turn in .

I’m a Pacific Islander and yet I didn’t even know about all these problems everyone’s talking about. I don’t live in Hawaii but my grandpa does and he’s never told me about it.

I’m staying on big island for a family vacation and i want to say that i have never been to a place with such an amazing native people. They are all so beautiful and kind to us and only want to show off their culture. It’s such a shame what’s happening to the other islands I hope Hawaii recovers

There’s a difference to Visiting Hawaii, And living there.

I visited and left we only go every maybe 5 years and respected the place every time we go.I do notice locals leaving…it very sad actually.

What they DO tell you though, is they don’t want tourists.

I live in a Tourist area, and in in Hawaii right now on Holiday. I totally get why people who live here, don’t enjoy how many tourists there are all year’ round. Someone said “Drug addiction is no joke.” That’s everywhere, it’s just not Hawaii. I have been brought up to respect all cultures, and I love the land; it’s so beautiful, and what people are doing for the greed: like destroying land is disgusting. I always get confused why Homes and stuff don’t seem a rich as you’d think, and planes aren’t as advanced as you’d think. Does American take a bunch of Hawaii’s money, or something like that? Another statement, who would disrespect locals? I would love to see locals, they are such beautiful people. The place is extremely expensive, and it’s horrible for the people who live here. God bless you, and God bless the people who live in Hawaii.

I’ll be visit Hawaii with my family soon! I hope it’s gonna be good, mind you guys (we will be respectful towards the people) Also we’re only going to visit and see the beauty of the place! ❤️

As a Kanaka Maoli myself thats originally from Oahu and still living here and never left off this rock it breaks my heart to see many of my ohana and people leaving do to prices. There’s only a few of us left while our homes are being priced out and bought; rental homes for families are turned into Airbnbs for tourists while our ppl become houseless, living in housing’s or duplex homes. Tbh were all struggling too no matter how much we work and save up.

OMG ITS SO PRETTY im so glad im going in June!❤❤

tourism is killing Hawaii. as much as I'd like to go. i won't because of inflation prices kicking natives out of their own land and property 😢

It is so beautiful then i started listening to the music and realized it was hunger games i just finished watching the last one last night and apparently they are coming out with another one

"Where you from? Whose your faddah? Wass your last name?" - Da uncs

Hawaii is such a sacred, clean and beautiful place. Or at least was.

I FREAKING LOVE THIS SONG!

On my flight to Hawaii when I was 7 my tooth fell out and then I handed it to a flight attendant. Visited Hawaii again recently and met the same flight attendant and she still tells the story to little kids about what to do just in case, so that’s something you are told if you’re a kid

I've really wanted to go for a long time, but ive read the comments and I had no idea that all of this was a problem😥 I'm sorry that you guys are struggling because of tourists.

What they don’t tell you (a summary): More tourists= inflation, more homeless natives, and littering. Very expensive compared to other states just as beautiful Don’t litter, please Just don’t go, please.

im going to hawaii for vacation, But i will definitely show respect for the locals. I just want to have a good time. That is all.

You guys should always remember if you’re going to a different place to travel be respectful read signs it’s really not that hard (No I am not from Hawaii but I know this) plus if you do you could have a better experience.

Well, that’s Hawaii!! I recently just came back from there

Hawaii seems like paradise until you decide to live there,houses are so much money, the prices are insane,and there is a lot of homeless people now Don’t get to attached!

Give Hawaiians their stolen lands back. As beautiful as it is, natives and locals deserve their home. ❤

What they dont tell you are the tears when you have to leave...😢

Reading the comments, I'm now well informed. Sure Hawaii is pretty, but so are your friends and family! Maybe visit them or spend time with them instead of visiting and spending time in Hawaii ♥︎ also I mean this comment with good intentions. I'm not controlling where you go or what to do with your life

The audio is true Maui is where my heart belongs and it kills me to know it’s burning and that all the islands have so many problems like expenses and drugs I’m so sorry for all of the natives who were forced to leave❤ Aloha Aku No

Everyone else talking about Hawaii while me just singing the hunger games song

That is a beautiful sight. I remember the first time I flew into New York City, but it was at nighttime and beautiful in a very different way back then.

This soong had the biggest chokehold on me when I first heard it in the theatres 😂😂😂

Awesome!!! I have flown there several times and it is even more beautiful every time.

Interesting song choice 😅

The best place to visit in Hawaii is Waianae.

Im so glad the people in this comment section are actually aware of what is happening. My mom is Hawaiian and it feels like people are constantly talking about their trips to hawaii without considering their impact on the islands

I was so happy the whole time I was in Hawaii, it was gorgeous. There are also a lot of comments about respecting Hawaii and how tourists are to blame for the issues but I just wanted to say how grateful I am that I got to go. It was an incredible experience that I will never forget. The food I had was amazing and I had so much fun swimming and just watching the sunset. I also want you to know that I made sure I left the smallest mark possible because I’d never want to do anything to harm the earth since it’s so stunning. I think one of my favourite parts was when I was coming into land I saw a whale which was beautiful. I hope that Hawaii and all of its islands and people and animals thrive forever and that the world can too ❤🌎🌍🌏🌱

they shouldve told you not to go

can we appreciate for a moment the masterpiece under this video 🛐 title: the hanging tree reference: The Hunger Games Mockingjay

As a native Hawaiian 🌺 I want to say some things…. ALHOA🌺 Borea dean bem seis alsem Alsak be xarzs 💝

As a Hawaiian welcome to our beautiful island🤙🏽

When I went to Honolulu with my family our plane had 3 rows of seats and we sat in the middle row so we didn’t get to see anything outside until we were getting off the plane 🥲 UPDATE: We went back to Honolulu for a week during winter break in January and I still didn’t see anything cause I was in the aisle seat💀

i lovee this songg

I went to Kauai and the big island in June for my honeymoon and it was the most amazing life experience I've ever had. ❤️ What a beautiful place, the people are kind and helpful, and experiences you cannot have anywhere else in the world. Despite people commenting here, "please stay away", the people i met there were incredibly kind and welcoming. We visited mauna kea and watched the sunset at the highest observatory in the world, we watched lava boil up for Kilauea, and noticed these very unique blossoms we later visited big island bees who pollinated those same flowers near the volcano. Steam vents you can feel the steam in safe areas. We went to the only cloud forest in our country, a forest literally in the clouds and i met the family that created it starting in the 80s. I flew in a helicopter around the island and saw waterfalls over 1,000 feet tall, the crystal clear waters, and the flows of past lava and moist recent that covered a large area this past December. I saw ancient ruins inaccessible on foot. I visited a cave with critically endangered species only found in that cave. I will remember my trip for the rest of my life and i feel like I've checked off a whole lifetime worth of bucket list items.

THE HUNGER GAMESS

Nah i gotta go pee like 10times 😂 i can’t do window seat 😂
