[@arosete3512]

Sean, you’re my favorite Hawaii food blogger. You’re just so natural. This is in my neck of the woods.

[@SeanKaleponi]

Aloha Arosete!! Awww Mahalo for the kind words. We have food vloggers here I admire so that's high praise to me😁 Hope you get to try all these ono foods😊

[@zss.1589]

We rent a car everytime we visit oahu there's so much to do than stay in waikiki... we've been 3x and still not done exploring. I love Oahu❤ greetings from Texas

[@SeanKaleponi]

Aloha from Oahu to Texas! And I agree, there's soo much to do other than Waikiki. I'm glad you watch these vids and more to explore on the 4th time🤙👍❤️

[@burhanbey4782]

Where is the best place to rent a car ?

[@DecrepitBiden]

@@burhanbey4782 Just rented from Budget for 7 days from Jan 8-14 right at the airport. Costed me $300 for a Jeep Cherokee. Another person rented from Turo (like AirBnB, but for cars) for about the same price. Their car was VW Tiguan.

[@dewaynegrimes2547]

Any advice for a fellow Texan , traveling in few weeks

[@DecrepitBiden]

@@burhanbey4782 Budget works for me. $300 for 7 days. Someone rented from vrbo, & it was about the same price as my rental.

Aloha Roman!! Mahalo for your kind words 👍🤙

[@ichielivefamily2026]

Great video! I lived in Hawaii Kai from my high school years on. This was back when they didn't charge for Hanauma Bay. My best friend's father was caretaker down there and they lived in an apartment above the concession stand. We were lucky enough to spend many nights with our guitars, singing on the beach. So many memories!

[@SeanKaleponi]

Aloha Ichie ! Mahalo for sharing your stories about growing up in Hawaii Kai. As for us local residents.. it's free for Hanauma Bay but I can see it being open for everyone back in the day. Singing with guitars on the beach sounds like some good times. Merry Christmas 🎄🎅🤙

[@Paosison]

Watching this makes us miss the island so much and wish we were still there ! My daughter said “that’s uncle Sean ” when yoou appeared in the video. It was awesome meeting/chatting with you at the end of our trip last week! 🤙🏻🤙🏻

[@SeanKaleponi]

Aloha Paosison! Mahalo for watching and Im glad I got to meet your Ohana on the last day here. Just a simple tag on IG then we met the day after👏 and Please tell your daughter "Uncle Sean says hi". Hope you guys come back and visit soon👍🤙

As always mahalo nui for taking us along and reminding us of the beauty of Hawai’i⛰️🌈. Hope you and Nhi have an amazing time in Greenland and can’t wait to see your adventures there!! 🤙🏽

[@snipergene]

Greetings from Southern California. Loved this video! We hiked up the Makapu'u Lighthouse once about 5 years ago and saw several whales. We were very lucky! Also hiked up to the top of Kokohead . Took me a long time as I'm getting older, and I knew that was probably my only chance to ever do that. 😊

[@SeanKaleponi]

Aloha Snipergene! Mahalo for watching and Im jealous you to got to see whales here at Makapuu. And Koko Head was the first thing I did when my wife arrived here. Good to do it as soon as possible. Thanks for sharing👍🤙

Wow!!! This video is a perfect itinerary guide for my fav side of the island. I love Kailua, Lanikai, and Waimanalo Beach. Thanks for including the hikes and some good eats too👍🤙😋

[@SeanKaleponi]

Aloha Just saying!! Mahalo for watching. Sometimes I take these beaches for granted when I shouldn't. Were lucky! 🤙👍

[@randyozawa3643]

Awesome video Sean and Nhi! Been a long time since I've been to some of those places.

[@SeanKaleponi]

Aloha Randy!!! Mahalo for always supporting and hope you get to visit these places again soon.🤙👍

[@randyozawa3643]

@@SeanKaleponi probably not going to happen, I had open heart surgery about 7 years ago and have been in assisted living ever since. Would be nice if I could spend my time in Hawaii but your videos are the next best thing!🤙🤙🤙

[@ivanylareyna]

Cool video, we were just there last week and wished we would have done koko head trail. There was a total of 8 of us so we were really concerned about the difficulty level, you made it look easy! Mahalo for the video .

[@SeanKaleponi]

Aloha Ivany! Mahalo for watching and I hope you're family of 8 had a great time here and do Koko Head the next time! 🤙👍

Sean I am watching this for the third time. But nobody told me that there is 3rd pillbox at the Lanikai hike. You always have that extra info. Will have to watch this again for the 4th time soon

[@SeanKaleponi]

Thanks Min!! Yes the Lanikai PillBox has a 3rd pillbox But most ppl stop at the 2nd. It's one trail so can't get lost👍🤙

​@_kkp New Greenland video is out. Please tell all your friens.👍🤙

[@FoodFiend]

Aloha Sean! Wow what a jam packed video! Love Over Easy, Food Company and Cinnamon's. Thanks for showing some spots I have never tried yet. You must be very fit to think Kokohead is not that hard. And of course ending the video with shave ice. 😂 Your drone shots are killer. I have to put my Part 107 license to use soon. Just so lazy. Have a safe and fun trip in Greenland! Cant wait for that video. 🤙👊👊

[@SeanKaleponi]

Aloha Misty! Mahalo for always supporting and I saw your episode at the Food Company and I know so many locals eat there and have high praise!:) Hope you get to try out the other spots. And it's against my morals if I didnt have Shave Ice in a video. 😂 and yes, please do with the 107 and I would like to see your drone shots in your videos! It is time consuming so I just try to do it all in a cpl hours. But so worth it!:):) Heading to Greenland tomorrow! Have a great weekend Misty🤙👍✈️

[@FoodFiend]

@@SeanKaleponi Mahalo Sean! Have a great and safe trip. Can't wait to see what it is like over there and Denmark!

[@SeanKaleponi]

​@@FoodFiend​I forgot to mention.. Koko Head is way easier now. They really did a good job with the steps and making it more friendly.🤙And thanks, well make a video in Greenland🤙👍✈️

The red velvet pancakes 🥞 I thought it was spam 🤣🤪

[@SeanKaleponi]

Hahaha I can why you thought it was spam now that I look at it. 😂😂

[@donnadeneenglish244]

Sean you are the best travel blogger! We are planning our first trip to Hawaii and you have been a blessing. Question, entry to Hanauma bay includes being able to snorkel correct? I am ready about permits do we need to purchase a permit as well as the entry?

[@SeanKaleponi]

Aloha Donna!!! Mahalo for your kind words!! And I'm glad this channel can help your first vacation to Hawaii!🤙 and the entry to Hanauma Bay includes Snorkeling. No permits needed. Only an online reservation👍

[@VideoWithSound]

Sean u take such BIG bites... makes me so hungry but very satisfying to watch 🤩🤤😍

[@SeanKaleponi]

Aloha Videowithsound! Yes, big bites and such good food. Hope you get to try these places😁👍🤙😋

[@misterdadgaming]

Sean, we’re planning our trip in the next few months and we’re utilizing plenty of your content. One of the questions I have for you is if you got some suggestions on luau experiences, that are family friendly for those with toddlers. We’re not trying to break the bank but still want to make the most of it. Any suggestions would be rad, thanks in advance!

[@SeanKaleponi]

Aloha Domingofamily! Mahalo for watching this channel and please enjoy your time when here. And honestly, any good Luau is going to break the bank. I can only suggest really good ones like Paradise Cove, Polynesian Cultural Center, and Aulani a Disney Resort and Spa. Hope this helps👍🤙

[@rebeccagilman2020]

🌺 Aloha Sean, I love the views. Mahalo for taking us along! Wow, Everything looks so onolicious! 😋 Keep up the great vlogs. 🤙🏽 🥰
