ALOHA! As a native Hawaiian, also being blessed to born and raised on the island of Oahu! This video is very much needed and everyone visiting Hawai'i should be educated on these simple yet necessary tips. Its our Kuleana (responsibility) to Malama Aina which means to take care of the land. Thank you for sharing! You definitely gave me an idea for my next video, maybe common Hawaiian words you hear a lot when visiting Hawaii.

[@Livingtheglobe]

Thank you 🙏🏼 🤙🏽

[@STRAIGHTP]

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

[@Livingtheglobe]

Oh my, yes it gets crazy at times, people dont realize. They see the beauty and neglect the dangers.🤙🏽

[@ArekSuroboyo1]

What beach was it in Kona? Pine Trees, Banyans or Kahalu'u?

[@STRAIGHTP]

@@ArekSuroboyo1 i dont remember. public beach. there was a bunch of jaded sharp rocks on the left. Picnic area etc.

These two are right on. Iʻm a local and hearing from these two fine people is heartwarming to me. I am lifeguard here and saving visitors is a constant here, not just on the beach but everywhere. This vid should be played on the airplanes just before landing . Thank you JBO for this great topic.

This is a really good video. I thought it was going to be the typical obvious things (i.e. don't ignore resort fees, don't leave your stuff unattended) -- but you actually hit on some very important points. Great job.

[@physiotherapistpaulina9340]

I love the comments on the reef and coral. We all need to do our part to help preserve and regenerate the reefs/corals. Respect the environment in Hawaii and elsewhere.

[@reya346]

Yes, coral is a living thing so it's also a good idea to not buy coral jewelry or patronize places that sell them.

[@sandmors7998]

Never knew there is a sun block that is reef safe! I plan to look into that, here in Colorful Colorado!!!

[@stephenvierra4492]

I'm a Hawaiian local & I love it when visitors try to speak pigeon or try to hard to pronounce Hawaiian words for example "Likelike" high way is not pronounced according to our english language "like-like" but it's pronounced "Leekay leekay." 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. Aloha!

[@Livingtheglobe]

Oh yes it’s the best! We’re thinking of putting out a vlog where we give visitors hawaiian words to pronounce. Should be lots of fun!

I worked in Waikiki I've been asked questions by visitors where I literally have the shocked are you dumb look on my face lol! And when I moved to Ohio for 2 years in high school the amount of dumb questions I got was never ending.

[@jaklg7905]

As far as the stuff like snorkel gear, boogie boards, etc. The hotels should have a "pay it forward" area that people can leave for the next guests to use. It would cut down on the waste. I know that there are private face book groups about Disney's Aulani resort that people post their items to pay it forward.

[@deborahculver7844]

They should have one for cars too! I live on Maui, they used to have abandoned car auctions, but they discontinued them a couple years ago. It's a shame, they are all over the place. Last week I saw an abandoned Lincoln Navigator!

[@Kozette88]

I love this idea. 🌱

[@samjones2439]

Every hotel should offer this to there patrons. If they want to bring there boogie boards inner tubes floaters etc.. to a designated area in the hotel. And then the hotel offer on a first come basis and recycling of what they have to offer!

You still have to be careful buying sun screen in Hawaii. Most are reef friendly but not 100% reef safe. There is a difference. I wish they would ban all the sun screens that still do damage.

[@Livingtheglobe]

Thank you! We did not know that!

[@jimandcathep9915]

We have seen people do all of these things. I might add #21 - Don't try to change Hawaii. And #22 - Don't think that you're going to get immediate service everywhere and people are going to kiss your butt because you're from wherever. I increasingly see people rip a server or store employee because THEY didn't get special treatment or the service isn't like it is wherever they are from. Its Hawaii - chill out, relax - you'll get you food or drink eventually!

Mahalo for mentioning our wildlife, our home, and Hawaiian Monk Seals. Also the comment about reef safe sunscreen ♥️♥️♥️

[@lexoflexo225]

Just returned from Oahu (Waikiki and Kapolei) earlier this week. Luckily I have family that’s been stationed there for several years and they mentioned most of these don’ts. They took us off the normal paths and we loved the hospitality many of the locals demonstrated. Beautiful island, beautiful people.

[@Livingtheglobe]

Wonderful! Thank you for sharing!

[@civilcopycat]

I took some local's parking spot without realizing he was waiting for it. The local who was leaving the spot and the one waiting for the spot got out and started attacking my car. Keep an eye out for those violent tourist hating locals. its no joke. On the other hand, I met some welcoming and helpful locals who made me feel at home.

[@Livingtheglobe]

Thank you for sharing 🌈🌸

[@stevenrich8761]

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)

[@Livingtheglobe]

Mahalo!

[@marcellocolona4980]

Was stationed at Pearl in the 80s and been visiting back since the 2000s. These two are spot on. Be always respectful, don’t be loud and rude.

[@SumedhaVikas]

Actually all the letters in Aloha mean different things but you are right the main word means love, also nice comment. I’m visiting big island (kuala) and Maui.

[@elizabethlockley5861]

Respect must go both ways no matter where you holiday it is that which defines the person we are, be mindful & respectful always. *Perhaps glass bottom boat tours would insure the safety of all coral

[@oldsoldier181]

Just spent 10 days in Oahu, and during the flash flooding. What a gorgeous area. Mostly, locals were friendly. Which is what I would expect. I, in turn, was very friendly-because, well, its Hawaii, and gorgeous, and people are generally nice anyway. I fell in love with the place. I will return, someday!!

[@midas7934]

To add onto the dont turn your back to the ocean thing, if you get pulled away from shore by a rip current, dont try and fight it, youll only tire yourself out and drown, swim or tread water parallel to shore and let it take you, it may bring you back to another area.

[@thathawaiiandude787]

Very true🤙🏾. Bottom line ....don’t panic. I’ve seen a panic swimmer nearly drown a rescue lifeguard trying save them by pulling the rescuer down trying to climb on top of them 🤭

Most of the don’ts are just plain common sense, which sadly most people do not seem to have, or they lose it while on vacation. Good informative video. I never knew about the lei one.

[@Livingtheglobe]

Thank you

[@ioanelouis4577]

Love this! A lot of people don't realize how offensive it is to refuse a lei! I'm glad you spoke about that! If you don't like the lei just take it off at a later time. This is also meant for food as well, don't deny food from locals that's another way to Offen. Just take it and if you don't want to eat it, don't! (I'm talking about someone home not off the Steets)

[@korichamberlain]

This is so good to know. I absolutely might have refused a lei out of fear of looking like a cringy tourist.

#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. 🤙🏾🤙🏾

Glad to be of help! Be sure to check all our other videos over 100 on everything Hawaii🌈🌸

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. 🏝

[@Livingtheglobe]

Its being worked on tho, in the building we live in there are recycled bins

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.

[@kathywerebwrites]

Thank you so much for this video. Great tips. :) However, there are no private beaches, by law, in Hawaii. The land may be private, so don't cross someone's property without their permission, but if you can get to the beach without doing that go for it.

[@punawelewele]

Just go for it.

[@Livingtheglobe]

Yes, this is true

[@walterwhite1]

May have to move there for work for a few months. What I’m getting is that, yes it’s an American state, but it seems like it’s culture is persevered so well that it’s it’s own country still.

[@Livingtheglobe]

yes, it's very different

[@scottkimura2401]
