ONE FANTASTIC RESTAURANT that didn’t make the video, but is absolutely delicious is Marukame Udon Noodles in Waikiki. I only didn’t include it, because it’s already so well known. Also Dat Cajun Guy in Hale’iwa is another excellent spot that didn’t make the video.

    • @@mikeoxlong5843 I'm glad you took the time to type out your ignorant and poorly thought out comment. Maybe next time don't make yourself a fool on the internet. You clearly understood nothing and took everything in an odd direction that makes no sense. Maybe be more mature and actually look past your ignorance and learn something about respect for others and their cultural differences. I'm sorry you are upset at something you don't understand. The worst thing we do as humans is not allow ourselves to learn and appreciate cultures other than our own. Also I'll leave you with some good life advice. Don't go out insulting people without good reason or personal anger because it makes you look very bad. I don't mind mature debates or some criticism on good morals, but you handled this in a very toxic way. I forgive you, but I hope you learn from it. Still with all that said aloha, braddah!

    • @Jack Meov Here are some notes for you since I guess your spell check doesn't work: *You're *how's *you're *though *Hawaiians (no apostrophe, it's not a possessive noun in this context) The fact that you listed Waikiki as your one and only example on all of O`ahu already tells us that you don't know what you're talking about and you're probably not from here. I was born and raised here. There are way more tranquil, quiet, beautiful places on this island (as some other comments have mentioned below) that haven't been tainted by the busy and bustling traffic of an overabundance of people. Waikiki is quite busy, but it's still a great city where people can experience the culture of these islands and true aloha spirit. It may be similar to some versions of "little Tokyo" with food options, shops, and population density, but Waikiki is its own city and it was created in its own way. Waikiki may be one of the most popular spots to be for tourists and some locals but the more people there are, the more to share our aloha with, for those who wish to experience it. Other people who only see a busy city and too many people are missing out. And what do you mean by "Japanese YEN"? We're the 50th state in the United States (unfortunately, sadly, forcefully) so we use American currency. I'm assuming you meant "Hawaiian's" as in all the people who live here but that's not the true meaning of that word. "Hawaiian/Hawaiians" refers to people who have actual Hawaiian in their blood. Citizens of Hawai`i is what I think you meant to say as it refers to those who live here, and I guess the people you meant who supposedly "love their Japanese YEN". I love that our cities are full of people who want to see these islands and experience what we have here. I'm glad there are videos like this one to show others how beautiful this place is. I hope that if you come back here, you get to experience the true meaning of aloha and feel the love that the people of these islands have for everyone.

  • Advice for tourists: research the major thoroughfares in hawaii. Specifically, find out their names. Directions in hawaii aren’t given by designation; they’re given by landmarks and names. For example, you’re not going Westbound on the H-1, you’re going Ewabound (Ewa is a major town that is on the western side of the island) And it’s not called Route 72, it’s called Kalanianaole highway. If you ask where “Route 72” is, you’re not going to get an answer. If you ask where Kalanianaole Highway is, it’s much more helpful.

  • After spending a week on the big island, we were meant to have a 2 hour layover on Oahu. Our connecting flight was pushed 12 hours so we rented a car and explored the southern portion of the island for the day. It is safe to say that we will defiantly be returning. From the little bit that we saw, we could’ve believe the incredible beauty around every corner. This is a great video, very very well done and helpful!!! Thanks for taking the time to make it! I know it must have been awful to film...
