20 Things NOT TO DO when visiting Hawaii

[@AtortAerials]

Not this video but one much better I agree and have been saying this for years working on it now talking to Hawaiian Airlines. This is hardly the video but education on respect and ocean safety and respecting honu and sea life for sure. And from Hawaiians not Russians. 😂

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.

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.🤙🏽

[@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!

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!

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.

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

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.

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.

[@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!

My friend got me reef-safe sunscreen, but the bottle is too big to bring to Hawaii. I am putting it in a mini clear bottle and labeling it. I hope they will accept this when I go through airport security!

[@Livingtheglobe]

If not they sell it at ABC stores in Hawaii

[@omardeveraux1418]

I say DO IT - and look, you did that video too lol (I just haven't watched it yet). Great video/content and the information is immensely appreciated. I'm going to share this with my friends as it's something everyone should see prior to a trip to the islands - Mahalo!!!!

[@Livingtheglobe]

Awesome! Thank you!

Waimea Bay is like "knock tourists on their okole" bay. They don't realize that the waves crash right on the beach because it's a huge, immediate drop-off into the ocean, like a deep end. I see so many rescues there with people not knowing how big the waves can get and how they're not just 'close' to shore.. they're ON the shore.

I liked this video a lot!!! Can’t wait for the “Do’s” video DO IT 🙌🏼😁

You are welcome! Glad you liked it 🌺

#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. 🤙🏾🤙🏾

Mahalo for sharing!

[@agnesthomas4731]

What if we are not interested to waste our money 🥴

[@zoetrandoan7305]

This is really mindblowing, thank you!

[@Livingtheglobe]

Glad it helped!

[@punaforager]

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.

[@uilanihi808]

i love this video you guys are so considerate!!!! ❤️❤️❤️❤️🤙🏽

[@Livingtheglobe]

Thank you 🙏 😊

[@JigglebelljigglebellYearsAgo]

Locals drowning? I’m from hawaii and I just see Tourist getting hurt or drowning ... it’s rare to see a local in that situation . Very rare

[@Livingtheglobe]

Correct, the number of tourists compared to locals drowning is much higher cause tourists underestimate the waters

[@timhazeltine3256]

@@Livingtheglobe too many tourist's check common sense and courtesy with their luggage. Back in the 60s after eating at Queen's Surf our family walked the beach. My mother tried to warn two sunbathing tourist's, obviously newlyweds , that they were well best the blister burn stage, they responded with a snide comment...so she said "have a great rest of your honeymoon."

[@Tawnieandwayne]

Great tips, well keep this is mine during our 6 month stay in the big island!

[@Livingtheglobe]

Glad it was helpful! anyone of these you didn't know?

[@courtneyscockpit3409]

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

[@arymonem]

Great video! Thanks

[@Livingtheglobe]

Mahalo Devon and Irini. Very very informative!! One thing you can enjoy while in Hawaii is Coconut ice cream! Lol 😂

[@Livingtheglobe]

Boom! 😂😂😂

[@rachaelmeares2311]

I stopped visiting Hawaii when I learned about the negative impact of tourism. However recently my grandfather moved there to be with his wife’s family so now I visit him. I visited recently and when I would say “Aloha” and “Mahalo” to locals and they would not respond, and I was wondering if this was offensive. I am returning again soon and want to make sure I am a respectful and responsible guest! 🥰🌊

[@urfavkana5085]

As a local in Hawaii i would get why locals wouldn't respond if u say "Aloha" or "Mahalo", Sometimes us locals get pretty annoyed when tourist come to Hawaii cause all we hear from their mouth is 'Aloha' or 'Mahalo' and its just annoys us cause it the way how they say it (Accent), I mean we get your trying to be respectful and all but I think its better to smile then speak. Sorry if i sound rude but its just how it is. But don't worry locals are the best when it comes to respect .. well i guess not all but tell u now when it comes to respect we do it best ! but thas pretty much it but other than that ur fine at least your tryna make urself sure if ur disrespectful or not.

[@Livingtheglobe]

Sorry to hear you did not feel welcomed. Just keep up the aloha spirit

[@dustinmiller2775]

Say "howzit?" and you don't want to know if they don't answer. Okay?

[@FpSNet]

@@dustinmiller2775 actually true, howzit is the best way to say hello.

[@RYDENROAM72]
