BEST THINGS TO DO IN OAHU

[@imuawarriors]

so happy you had a good time on O'ahu... I've lived here all of my life (54 years), and love it when people visit and enjoy themselves...

[@tonyperez6305]

I am so excited as I was supposed to be there a month in July and not in 2 weeks I will be able to go.

[@imuawarriors]

@@tonyperez6305 make sure you understand the COVID rules and regulations... lots of businesses have closed down sadly, but like everywhere else, we're trying our best to cope...

I’m writing this on a cold San Francisco, smoke-filled sky today, and this video cheered me right up. Thank you for posting this, Steph. Amazing as always.

[@StephTaylerLive]

Awww, Lou :) Glad to bring some sunshine. I'll have to watch it again now that I'm back in cold Seattle LOL

[@marksaake]

Thanks so much for the recommendation of Mahina Adventures! We just went out with them today and it was the highlight of our trip. Anyone else reading this, do yourself a favor if you are visiting Oahu. Book a date with Mahina. It is money well spent. My family all said “Best day ever Dad”

[@ryanhailstones4735]

Mark Saake awesome! I had such an epic time with you! So stoked you booked with us! Hope to see you next time!

[@tonyperez6305]

I am going in 2 weeks and surely want to book with them - What beach did you go that the dolphins were at as I am sure it was amazing! Aloha!

[@johnnybates7580]

I loved living on Oahu. Never saw a turtle at Hunama Bay. Did see an octopus once. Of all the places I've traveled or lived, Oahu was the best.

[@mikegorczynski6000]

I might have seen on octopus too unless it was something else. we were on catamaran off Waikiki in Dec and my initial thought was Octopus or some big thing that fell off merchant ship looked like very large purple ish mop head or sthg almost

You are very authentic and real, Steph! Keep up the good job! And good luck

[@MrRugbyprop1]

DO NOT miss "Uncle Bo's Pupu Bar & Grill." We went there on our final night and the food was superb!! The prime rib was the best I've ever had! Service was great and food served hot. We didn't care for "House Without a Key" because if you're not a guest at the hotel, they seat you in the patio section, far from the entertainment. Guests are seated in much nicer section.

[@traceyhuff2228]

Steph this video completely took my breath away. It is so very beautiful, and the editing was amazing as always. You are truly a professional. Can't wait for your next amazing video. Thanks for sharing you're adventures with us mere mortals. 😍

I love the water, so I can definitely appreciate the things you got up to in OAHU! Looked like so much fun!! The sights & sounds made for a very enticing place to visit. And just like cavewoman, I too love the sound of shells cascading one another as the water recedes. Very enjoyable clip Steph!

[@theferrones]

I confess I haven’t been to all the islands: but I’ve been to the islands probably 8 times or so since I’ve worked and my wife has worked for an airline. Plus when I was younger my parents took me ( mostly to Kauai ) a few times. Maybe I’m shallow but O’ahu is my favorite over Maui or kuai since it’s busier. But having said that a lot of people like certain islands to get away from hustle and bustle of big cities and Honolulu has similarities to Los Angeles. But the island is big enough to capture whatever you’re looking for. I think. Cheers Bill

Hi Rogelio! Yes!! I lovingly nicknamed him "Tripod". I'm sure he unwillingly donated his leg as shark appetizer. He's lucky to be alive!

Wonderful video of a great location. a few things besides the location that makes your video fun and makes you want to watch more. One, when you are in the cave after snorkelling, no make up looks very nice and pleasant. Lots of women in travel videos have to have the perfect look before filming. Natural is best. IMHO Two, many women dont want to eat on camera. You do and its fun. Its vacation. Thanks and keep tposting.

Hey! Still bingeing these videos. Love your editing. Also, I'm curious about the dolphins. I've swam with dolphins a few times before, but never ones in the wild. Did they interact with you at all or just hang out nearby? I'm sure they are ok with people being around but wondering how curious they were.

When they decided to "renovate" International Market Place, it was the final "stab in the back" to attraction/mystique of Waikiki!

Question about snorkeling... what do u recommend buying your own gear or renting. Also, do u just drive around the island and snorkel where you want or are there designated places?

[@bsuper63]

Rent gear unless you need corrective lenses. It helps when packing light. As far as snorkeling goes, safety first. Know your personal limits and research the area. Ocean conditions on day of snorkel are a must. If the swells are big, you will not see much as the silt will be big too.

[@MG707]
