Top 18 Things To Do Oahu, Hawaii 4K

[@zam6877]

Aahhhh...I am lucky to stumble on this...I enjoy hikes like ridge walks with all the sky around you...lovely to watch on cold December day...thanks

[@raqueldamasceno1964]

I've always wondered where Glenn went after Season 7. Glad to see it's Hawaii! loved your tips!

[@lindaelia2616]

I live across the street from the Byodo-In Temple so I’m happy you added it in. I feel I’olani Palace should have been added in, also Polynesian Cultural Center is another great place to learn culture with lots of fun activities. Since I was born in Nu’uanu I was surprised you didn’t suggest Pali Look-Out for those that might not be able to do those hikes. I do appreciate you educating visitors about leaving the harmful chemicals at home!

[@user-ib5mx8ro4k]

Kuhio Park Terrace is a must see! #1 on top places to visit on Oahu.

[@barbarashirland9078]

I lived on Oahu for 40 years. I saw a green flash, but only once. We were at the banyan beach bar of the Moana Surfrider. It was AMAZING! Many people saw it, and a collective gasp went up. It was FAST! Enjoyed this video. Familiar stuff!

[@rickdiculous5655]

Aliens?! 😱

[@MarthaRamirez-kx7fp]

My husband and I just came back from Oahu(Waikiki), but before going there I like to investigate what is there to do and I came across your beautiful very informative videos and they were so helpful. We had a lot of fun we just want to go back. Thanks 🙏

[@marybrewer739]

Please don’t tell people to go on “ illegal hikes or trails” . We have had too many deaths and severe injuries from people going on these hikes. The State is even talking about charging people for the costs of search and rescue. Hawaiian’s are getting tired of taking all our resources to save people who refuse to follow rules! These places are closed or restricted for a reason! Please respect the aina and the people of Hawaii.

[@UroborosX1]

that comment alone deserves 100 virtue points

[@beamdoctor5637]

[@DOMtheeDogo]

Your last names Brewer mine is Tupuivao. I'll hike where I please. 💯

[@paulhetherington3854]

You totally screwed, up! Damn fraud! Ykm-- I'm a fraud, of islnd-- kalculus molecules- culture!

[@paulhetherington3854]

Illegal? That would be, with weapons-etc?

[@FreeSpirit47]

This was more about hiking than anything. I love the Diamond Head hike. There are also some great things to do such as Kualoa Ranch, seeing some gorgeous scenery on horseback, even some wild pigs running around. I love Bishop Museum & Iolani Palace. There's some great history there! Anyone who goes to Sunset Beach Park to surf at Mokapu (Banzai Pipeline) needs to take the undertow current VERY SERIOUSLY. There have been many tourists and locals who drowned when they were pulled in by the tide. It happens so fast and is so strong it's surreal in a bad way.

[@jessimitchell2051]

I live in Oahu and I love your list! One top thing I would add is the Iolani Palace. Pearl Harbor is a great way to get the US history, but the Iolani Palace is super important and cool to be able to learn about Hawaiian history.

[@chillingsworth4384]

Wish my family out here wanted to do stuff like this. They’ve been in Oahu their whole lives, and just sit around the house all the time. Don’t even go to the beach!? Recently moved from SD. Gonna have to go do all these things by myself 🤷‍♂️

[@meisha89ify]

Go for it if I would have waited on my family to travel the world and do anything, I wouldn't have saw as much in this world as I did. So I say to you go for it!

[@glotaro1]

oh man, lot of hiking!

[@richarwalker]

Nice what was your favorite?

[@initialdwu7821]

i love hawaii, i want to go back.

[@Kim-mz8co]

Greetings from Cambodia. Thanks for your video. Hawai'i was my home for nine years so your pronunciation makes me smile, but your video is interesting and informative. Nice. I appreciate the memories of home Hawai'i.

[@wanderlustandsparkle4395]

Just an FYI only experience surfers are allowed to surf the North Shore during the Winter Swell because of how dangerous it is.

[@HCAqua]

I live on Oahu and found this video enjoyable. Actually found a couple things I’ve never done.

[@hawaiianvacationcondos729]

Thank you for your video! Can you fix your error at around the 10 min mark you said Maui when you meant to say Oahu

[@Strategory76]

What did you do for ground transportation on the island? Rental cars looks like they're starting around $170 per day.

[@Active_Tours]

There are a few independent car rental companies that i’ve learned about. luckyowl.com I’ve never used them but I will be trying to on my next visit. Good luck!

[@jal1703]

Active Tours Do you recommend Uber or renting your own vehicle? Do these recommendations offer parking?

[@christinagonzalez6010]

With Covid they sold off a lot of their cars. The whole Aloha Stadium was filled with unrented rental cars. Now the demand is back and the supply is not. That’s why it’s so expensive now. You could try Turo, but also the city bus system is pretty good from what I hear. I’ve never used it tho.

[@Luigi667087]

Thanks for the video currently in Hawaii and needed a few more things for our adventures

[@rileystein6195]

This is great. I might move to Oahu, so this helps a lot.

[@TolKOZAK]

Wonderful video. You sure are brave to do some of those trails. Diamond Head is more my speed. Interesting that some people take time to criticize your pronunciation. I thought you said Koko head perfectly. (A little tourist humour). Now for my very minor critique. I don't know if you realized it but at 12:38 you say, " You can see Diamond Head and lots of east and west Maui." Oops, wrong island. Aloha

[@yedi2117]

Well I live in Oahu and I love it! ❤️❤️

[@MJ-ib7iq]

Seafood consumption, is also affecting the reef and ocean life, not just some sunscreen

[@WorldTrotterHereandBeyond]

cool content..excited for July!

Very good quality video...Thanks

[@valadolpho266]

Bruh don't go and get boards from in town, When you visit north shore go pick up 10 boards for 40$ from garage sales

[@AmViir]

Any place in particular you’d recommend?

[@horacevu]

@@AmViir Costco

[@wanderlustandsparkle4395]

In Hawaii it's Brah not Bruh!

[@christinagonzalez6010]

Ha! Yeah right. I’ve lived here 2 years and there is nobody on the island that’s gonna sell you one board for $40 let alone 10! 🤣

[@tandr45]

Great choice for including hamauna Bay its so beautiful!

I went to Honolulu, this passed February 2021 and I loved it..i did not like Giovanni's food. It had no flavor. Very expensive though.I preferred Onawa Restaurant..flavor was 100% better

[@gustavopaulette3496]

You must have COVID 🦠

[@christinagonzalez6010]

I don’t like seafood, but I can at least tolerate being around it. But not Giovanni’s. I kept gagging and nearly threw up when I was near it. We love Surf & Salsa, Kua’aina Sandwich Shop, Haleiwa Joe’s Haiku, Beach House by 604, Sakura Japanese Hibachi, Aloha Salads…

[@marleneschick4768]

Thank you for letting me know 😀

[@zetlaw07]

Great list! I live on Oahu and some of my favorite spots are on the Leeward side, (if you get a chance, check out Hannara's restaurant)! 😊

You realize you have said the island of Maui..first one after the 10:08 and 12:38 marks. Guess you were on Maui recently?

Just found the channel and this video, thanks for sharing! Since you've done your fair share of hikes on oahu, wondering which ones you recommend for hiking with a 2.5 year old :)

[@Active_Tours]

I recommend Makapu'u Point Lighthouse Trail it’s fully paved, you can explore pillboxes and possible whale sightings. Thx for watching

[@aurorachun]

Do you have recommendations for boat rides? :)

[@10k06]

LOVE THIS VIDEO BRA ✌

[@chongyulius]

1:05 - Why driving counter-clock wise makes you closer to the water?? It is Hawaii, not UK or Japan, people drive on the right side of the road

[@TolKOZAK]

This may be too difficult for you but use your imagination. Close your eyes and imagine driving North while on the East side of an island. Just like anywhere in North America, if you are in the correct lane driving North and the ocean is to the East then your car is closer to the ocean because we drive on the right. You're welcome.

[@chongyulius]

@@TolKOZAK Ah, I made a mistake on which direction is clockwise... 😧 alright I deserve being treated like a moron, ahhhh damn I was stupid... I need to buy a mechanical clock right now

[@TolKOZAK]

@@chongyulius I should not have treated you so harshly. You are probably very young (under 60) and have only seen digital clocks and watches. Mi dispiace.

[@jeffreymitchell4904]

my girlfriend thinks that you're a great guy

[@melissagarcialynn5465]

Maybe you should talk to your gf more often. I’m not judging anything but I have been with my bf for almost 6 years and I’m barely noticing everything that he does for my other daughter, our daughter that is almost a year and how supportive he is with me. He’s 11 years older then me and very wise. I love him so much!

[@James-Lifts]

[@clarissathorpe786]

Excellent review Josh🙂

[@tigrrlily2569]

I live in Kuliouou! I've done the hike a handful of times. Definitely worth the view at the top. As someone born and raised on Oahu, it's interesting to see what people think of the island.

[@KhalidE2028]

I live on Oahu

[@leonardpatrol3805]

#2 Olomana trail, I just don't see how that's a hiking. You go climb up and down with ropes, that sir is called mountain climbing in my dictionary...

[@Active_Tours]

You can get to the first peak! 💪💪💪

[@kathleenhsu6364]

Hi Im planning to visit Oahu this summer. Do you have food recommendations? Also when you say to go counterclockwise to northshore do you mean from Waikiki to kailua area then to the Kuoloa ranch etc

[@horacevu]

yes, that is the scenic route to northshore because the road is literally right next to the water. You can also stop by the macedamia nut farm along the way near Kaaawa/ Laie.

[@sunnyd84]

Yup but be ready. Kailua is my hometown and it's no longer what it used to be. Still a beautiful little beach town. And if you drive around the Lanikai loop. You can see all the big mansions. There's the waiahole poi factory on the way to the north shore just after leaving kaneohe.

[@baztheman]

Is it ok to bring drone?

[@wanderlustandsparkle4395]

Sort of you need a permit from the FAA and the list of places to not film are schools (parents would not want their children on film), Federal Airspace (military bases that includes Pearl Harbor and Camp Smith and the Airports), any place that is scared to Hawaiians such as Graveyards/Palace/Heiaus/etc...

[@lastStand630]

Great suggestions! My first trip to Oahu will be this may but I can find parking spot at Lanikai Pillbox during my research online. Would you recommend me any parking spot? Thanks in advance!

[@ChrissyGutierrez]

We are planning a trip for next year to Maui and Oahu... I've been watching all your videos. This might be my favorite so far. I can't wait for the food one though! lol One of my top bucket list things is a whale watching boat ride. Preferably a smaller catamaran. I've always expected to do it in Maui. But which island do you think is better? Also where would you rank the Diamond Head hike on a level of difficulty? I am a very large girl but fairly active and I've seen lots of mixed reviews.

[@Active_Tours]

Thanks for watching 😀 I prefer Maui for a whale watching trip. I always recommend Diamond Head as a great intro hike for Oahu and I think you’d be fine hiking it. Maybe go in the morning to beat the crowds and the heat 🤙

[@TolKOZAK]

I have done Diamond Head 4 times and I'm in my 70s. It is between moderate to easy. The long staircase is the hardest part.

[@princehamdan8826]
