Wish I hadn’t moved away from Honolulu - so beautiful, I remember it well. Thanks for the video. Signed, Your latest subscriber - Aloha from Arizona.

I have traveled all over the world, but had never been to Hawaii until last November. The weird thing is that Hawaii has been my dream vacation for my entire life, so I finally made it! You’re taking me back to some very fond memories and I can’t wait to go back. Bless the Hawaiian people during such a terrible time! Mahalo!

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Yay, I'm so glad you had such a good trip in November and a dream come true! Thank you for your aloha to Hawaii Kevin! Hope you and your family are safe and well! Aloha =)

[@SuperBC1975]

This was eerie to watch. I was born and raised in Honolulu and my parents still live there. They drove through Waikiki the other day on the way home from buying essentials and described to me how empty the streets were. Thanks for uploading this video to show first-hand what things are like in my hometown.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Oh glad you could see it through our video! Yeah it's a strange feeling to see it like this. Hope you are safe and okay where you are at! Thanks for watching! Be safe! Aloha =)

[@plandemic9848]

man rent is SKY HIGH in waikiki, how's all these shops gonna survive? i know the virus is bad, but this over-reaction globally will be the real killer to all of us economically. it will be a domino effect.

[@ikaikamaleko8370]

Yup yup exactly same here, grew up in Mililani and went to UH Manoa, never in my days have I ever seen Waikiki like that......eerie but peaceful at the same time, boy do I miss those days hanging out down there, no place like home, not for me.

Nice to hear the BEAUTIFUL Hawaiian music in the International Market Place....so soothing... mahalo Luke and Aloha

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Yeah so when I'm walking and recorded music plays I never know if youtube is going to give me a warning about the music. There was one song that did so I had to replace it with that Hawaii song by Lil' Loca that I use at the beginning of some of my videos but the others were okay so I left them on there. Thanks for watching! Be safe! Aloha =)

[@wcurtis101]

One thing that surprised me about Waikiki is that at night almost everything closes. Watching your video shot during the day is pretty much what I experienced when walking the Waikiki streets at night.

[@elos5408]

Thank you so much for doing this. I visited Oahu, Maui and the other islands 4 times over the years since around 1986. It's been many years since I've been back. I love the islands, but I don't think I'll ever be able to return. You've given me a chance to see some of Waikiki again. To experience walking in some familiar places. It's so sad to see so much closed there and where I live as well. God Bless and keep you safe. I hope you'll leave this video up so I can watch it again and again.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Oh yes El I will leave this up! I'm so glad you were able to have great experiences while here on your visits to the islands!

Don’t know if I will ever be back, but I really enjoyed walking along with you. You would be the perfect partner to walk with because you do not chatter constantly. Thank you

[@didibolter9362]

Good morning Luke 😊😁!! Thank you for bringing Hawaii to us, but, I DON'T want you to think that you have to go out in the public and expose yourself to this horrible virus just for us, it's NOT worth it!! You can always just stay home and show us your fabulous family and Hibiscus's again, that video was pure gorgeousness!! You could really use this video for a mere sample for what's in store for people interested in coming to Hawaii after the virus is gone, it's a great video! Hello Cheryl, Austin, Kari-Ann, Cheri and you too Luke, I hope that you are all staying healthy and at home, I care about ALL of you!!! 😊😚😙❤👵👋👋👋👋👋

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Thank you for your worry! Don't worry I just had to document Waikiki while it's like this. Luckily I do a bunch of videos at one time so I have a lot of content to publish. I have ideas to keep doing Hawaii videos that I never spoke on or old ones I want to show clips from. I have so many videos to choose from luckily. Everyone saids Hi Didi =). Be safe! Aloha =)

[@didibolter9362]

@@PhotoLukeHawaii Thank you Luke for being so nice, you really are wonderful, and I truly mean that!! Hey everybody, what have you all been doing since this shelter in place/stay at home order started? I'm doing puzzles, I'm on my 2nd 1000 piece puzzle, the 1st one that I done was Wolves in the snowy mountains and since I finished that one, now I started a puzzle that has 87 dogs/puppies on it, it's quite challenging, but, not as challenging as the wolves were, that was really hard. I sure think about you guys a lot, you mean so very much to me!! Do you get to talk with your parents Luke, I absolutely hope that their staying healthy during all of this, and Cheryl's parents too!! I just can't believe that this is going on!! Do you like Kealii Reichel's music? I sure do, wow, what a singer! I don't understand the Hawaiian words, but, that music, melody and the Hawaiian vocals are absolutely wonderful, I always get goosebumps whenever I hear the Hawaiian language, I get all teary eyed and choked up, very emotional. I have seen Kealii Reichel in concert twice both times here in downtown Seattle, and he never disappoints! I love thinking about you guys, I want you all to be safe and healthy, hello to everyone, you too Luke, please take care!! 😊 😚😙❤👵Didi

Thank you for the walk through Waikiki! Even though sad to see the absence of people enjoying the day, I loved seeing such a beautiful video of my Hawaii home, especially Waikiki. Gone are the days of getting off work, grabbing my board and walking the two blocks to the beach and paddling out to Queens to surf until too dark to see. Aloha nui loa!

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Wow! Mahalo for the videos. I show these to my clients when booking. They won't take my word for it. Went to Long's yesterday and it was so empty. Wow. Subscribed.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Thank you for watching, for your support and for sharing us! Sometimes people need to see it to believe it, glad we can be a tool for that too! Oh yeah Longs has been kinda low on supplies but, they got more in for their sale today and it was a good sale. I'm trying not to go out so much but, we did go today and there was a line so we drove to another one and there was a line there too but shorter. They had a lot of their sale items still but all the anti bacterial wipes and Clorox wipes were out of stock. Anyways, we found that it was good to have the line outside as they were only letting so many people in the store to shop at once. So keeping a distance from people was easier and you can tell everyone is trying to be considerate and keep there distance or move on the side. Sorry lol you mentioned Longs I had to share our experience. Thanks again for watching and supporting us! Be safe! Aloha =)

Hiya Luke, New subscriber to your channel. Just wanted to thank you for posting your videos. Oahu is a home away from home for me. Been there a dozen times already and a few years ago made a brief move over but returned to NYC. Was supposed to fly out there again this coming Saturday but obviously the whole trip got cancelled. Doing the shelter in place thing in NYC I'll say your videos have been an absolute blessing. At times at night when there's nothing I can figure out to watch I can thrown on one of your vids and chill on the couch. So Mahalo!!!

This will bring good memories in the future. Thanks for sharing!

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

YOLANDA! I was worried about you through all this! Yes I agree it's like Twilight Zone! I'm glad you are able to experience this first hand! Please be safe and thank you for leaving a comment so I know you are okay! Hang in there and I hope you have all the things you need! Be safe out there! Aloha =)

[@yolandareyes518]

PhotoLukeHawaii, Aloha! Thank you for your concern. I'm doing fine. I just go out to the store or for my walk, otherwise, I stay home....I hope you and your family are doing good as well. You all be safe...God bless!

[@inhawaii4941]

[@yolandareyes518]

In Hawaii Yes, it is a scary feeling.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Wow Wahiawa, awesome! I used to live in Seattle for a year! Thank you for watching from Olympia! Sorry to make you homesick. So funny we then to Japan last year and was to check out this Starbucks in Kyoto and I sit down next to a older man who starts to talking to me and asked if where were from Hawaii, so funny he just happen to be from Wahiawa! Hope you can come visit, you must still have family here? Thanks for watching! Be safe and take care! Aloha =)

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Oh sorry they are predicting that it will peak in May so I think all this stay at home order and restrictions might go on longer. We will see though. Cross your fingers who knows what might happen... You have sometime. We are suppose to go on a trip in June and I think we might have to cancel too but, we are going to wait until it gets closer to that time. Just watch the news and cross your fingers! Hanging in there! Be safe! Aloha =)

[@jovahsangel]

Almost miss seeing the places filled with all the people.🙏💕

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

I agree Jovahs! Aloha =)

[@jovahsangel]

@@PhotoLukeHawaii It's similar in the San Francisco Bay Area. With fewer people out, we see more wild animals venturing out looking for food. Thank you for sharing. Blessings to you & the family. Stay safe.🙏💕

[@deannajones5647]

That song Hawaii with you is dope how do I find it!??😍😍😍

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

It's on www.epidemicsound.com/ I have a membership so I can use the songs on my youtube videos. thank you! Aloha =)

[@TamBat100]

Thank you so much for this video!!! We are visiting Hawaii pretty much every year, and last time we were there last November! Everything looks so familiar and so precious, but it’s sad to see such empty streets... our favorite coffee place is closed 😢... you walked by our hotel... by the way, what about hotels? They all closed? Thank you so much again👍, update us with changes!

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Hi Tamara! Yes most of the hotels are closed but, there are a few that are still open. Glad you folks can make it down here so often, yay! Hope you can plan a trip as soon as this is all over! Be safe! Aloha =)

[@TamBat100]

PhotoLukeHawaii Usually we visit our favorite place at the end of Oct. beginning of November... Pray that everything will get to normal soon, but have a lot of doubts ...beachcomber is closed?

[@brenttaylordotus]

As beautiful as I remember. I used to live Kaneohe and one of my first times surfing in Hawaii was Waikiki. Mahalo.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Awesome! I love Kaneohe! Yeah I don't surf but, if I did learn to I would go to Waikiki for that! Thanks for watching! Aloha =)

[@michelecaron]

Really nice & peaceful without crowds.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

It is, thanks for watching Michele! Aloha =)

[@jovahsangel]

Definitely miss seeing the original core group of The Society Of Seven playing at the Outrigger. Yes, during these difficult times, if we can, trying to support local small restaurants & businesses.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Thanks Jovahs =). Aloha =)

[@Twtybird1]

Thanks for making this video.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Thank you! Aloha =)

[@wdwbound3298]

Thanks for this so much! I haven't been to your page in a while. How are you and your family doing? This is crazy to see how little is going on. Hopefully we'll get back to normal not too much longer from now. I noticed several people carrying surfboards. Are they able to go in certain parts of the water? Here in Va we can't even walk on the beach. You do such an amazing job with your videos. Take care and again, thanks for sharing! 🤙

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Hey WDW BOUND, thanks for stopping by. We are doing good under the circumstances. We are currently allowed to go out for exercise like surfing, swimming but all the parks are closed which means the parking lots are closed to you have to park outside somewhere and walk to the beach. We stopped going out because I don't want be at risk anymore than going to get groceries. Thanks for watching! You and your family be safe and take care! Aloha =)

[@missylovestroy]

This made me a little tears watching this video 😢. We travel from Australia every 3 years to visit paradise and sadly this was the year we were supposed to come but all travel from Australia is band now for who knows how long . For you to have no tourists there for a period of time is probably a good thing for nature preserves to replenish themselves . But how will your economy cope with so many shops closed and no tourists ?. I send you all our love and hope you all remain healthy and get thru this tough time . Hopefully we will be back in the near future .much love from Australia

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Thank you for the aloha from Australia Maureen we really appreciate it! Sorry your trip plans are on hold. Hopefully you can make it here as soon as this is all over! Be safe Marueen and family! Aloha =)

[@stevehathaway4715]

The Lady at 23min looked like "damn, no shopping!" lol

[@hebneh]

Having just done a nighttime Waikiki walk two nights ago, I can tell you it is actually borderline scary how dead everything is. I literally could stand in the middle of Kalakaua Avenue and Kuhio Avenue and not see any vehicles or people. The emptiness is emphasized by the many hotels which are completely dark because they are closed and unpopulated. Along Kuhio Beach, the only sound you hear is the waves - no engines, no people, no music.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Oh that is eerie! Wow! No street performers either? Wow it's really like a ghost town! Thanks for sharing! We did a drive through at night but it's not the same as walking it! Thanks for watching! Be safe! Aloha =)

[@dakotabradley3155]

I Miss this beautiful paradise so god damn much!! Hope to visit Hawaii again ❤️❤️

[@PapiChulo-kk2nd]

Me too

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Hope you folks can make it here when this all over. Take care and be safe Dakota! Aloha =)

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Thank you Papi! Be safe! Thanks for watching! Aloha =)

[@mstalljan]

Thank for showing us. It is unbelievable and sad.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Yes I agree it's sad to see Waikiki like this. Thank you for watching and supporting us! Be safe! Aloha =)

[@olcraigsen]

Thank you so much. Looks great 👍. What happened to all the homeless that usually reside at the picnic tables on the beach.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

I'm not sure about the homeless although I know a lot of the restrooms are closed so I think they either when to shelters or they are just in other locations. They are still around all over the place outside of Waikiki although I notice there's less. Thank you for watching and appreciating Craig! Aloha =)

[@isyong4241]

honestly, part of me is happy to see the beaches are empty. it gives time for the beautifu ocean and beaches some time to recuperate.

[@plandemic9848]

you know they import sand into waikiki beach right?

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

yes it does let it heal and recuperate! Thanks for watching! Aloha =)

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Thanks for watching! Be safe! Aloha =)

[@ntexas100]

My wife and I have been to Hawaii three times with the last trip being in 2016. We stayed at the Hyatt Waikiki and walked up and down Kalakaua Ave many times. Since Hawaii depends on a lot of tourism, one can only imagine how much the small businesses are suffering. When we were there, we would ALWAYS eat at the small mom and pop places. It's really sad to see everything shut down.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Awesome ntexas100! We appreciate your support of Hawaii especially with the small business! Yes this shut down is hurting us but, we know we it has to be done to get rid of this thing. Thank you for thinking of us! Glad you folks were able to come often. Hopefully you can come again once this is all done! Thanks for watching! Aloha =)

[@mariochunhee6206]

Sad to see at such a beautiful place. Wishing this over soon so we can visit again

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Yeah I hope this will all be over soon too! Be safe! Aloha =)

[@EatTravelSteve]

WOW! I was there in October of 2018 and it was very crowed! I was planning on being there this month (April) . When is everything opening back up???

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Yeah crazy right. I'm not sure when everything will be opening up... You are probably experiencing the same things where you are at too. Hang in there and be safe! Aloha =)

[@Twtybird1]

Knowing what the area was like before and now seeing it during lockdown is just :(

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Yeah it's really crazy to see it like this! Thank you for watching Angela! Aloha =)

[@michaelbeard5]

super steady hand!! great walk

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Michael beard thank you for appreciating and watching! Thanks for walking with us =) Aloha =)

[@luiseduardobaraldicardarel7064]

Oi Luke esses registros vão ficar para estória, incrível, parece coisa de filme de ficção, a população sumiu quase toda, mas a beleza do lugar continua a mesma, até mais lindo vazio, porem , eu desejo que tudo volte ao normal o quanto antes para o bem de todos, se cuidem, Aloha aqui do Brasil.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Sim, eu concordo com você. Tão estranho vê-lo assim, mas bonito também. Obrigado por assistir! Esteja a salvo! Cuidar! Aloha =)

[@Talkless142]

We only see this type of footage in movies now it’s happening all over the world

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Yes only in movies right that's why it so weird to see. Yeah everywhere is eerie. Thanks for watching! Be safe! Aloha =)

[@NS2Las]

Wow it’s been years since we left HAWAII, it must be crazy..take care

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

It is but, I'm sure it's quiet where you folks are too. Thanks for watching and maybe you should come for a vacation sometime when this is all over. Be safe! Aloha =)

[@orpheliaburnes]

I love watching your video's, it's fun. I've never been to Hawaii, and watching this gives me ideas of what to do when I do get to go. At about 7.00 of your video, there are two tall hotels in the middle on the beach, they look like twin hotels.. What is the name of those? I'm interested in knowing what hotels are on the beach.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Orphelia Burnes aw thank you very much! Mahalo =). Okay looked and it looks like you're seeing the Hyatt Regency Waikiki Beach Resort and Spa and I believe both towers are theirs. We stayed at there once and in was nice. A good way to look at other hotels is with Google Earth or Google Maps, just search Waikiki and you'll see all the hotels there along the beach. Fun when you can change the views or if you're on Google Maps you can see the street views... Thanks for watching! Aloha =)

[@orpheliaburnes]

@@PhotoLukeHawaii You're very welcome, and thank you for the reply. I'm interested in the hotels that are actually right on the beach. I know there's not many as most are on the next street, across from the beach though too. But maybe one day you can do a video walking along the beach from one end to the other, so we can see what hotels are on the beach? I think the hotel that I have in mind is the one that has Dukes bar ? is that on the beach? But yes I will check out google too. Thanks for the advice. Keep up great work .. :)

[@LDNpat]

Crazy, i flew out of Honolulu on March 11th and everything was bustling with life

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Yeah so unreal to see such a difference! You had good timing! Thanks for watching! Take care! Aloha =)

[@Tera4m]

This brings a tear to the old eye, in a bad way😢

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

I agree! Thank you for watching! Be safe! Aloha =)

[@slugabunny5138]

Please can you Show me where the homeless have gone during this event? Great podcast 💘

[@glennkirste2774]

Maybe some go Westside.

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

They are still there but, the areas they are normally at sitting on the tables by the beach they aren't allowed to be at anymore. I don't know where they sleep now. If I find out I'll let you know. Thank you for watching! Be safe! Aloha =)

[@PhotoLukeHawaii]

Yeah maybe they went there. Thank you for watching! Be safe! Aloha =)

[@williamgurtner4759]

Exactly what I was thinking.
