Amazing Review!
Thank you!!
Nice.
Very beautiful footage. Thanks for the great tips. Watching from Germany.
Thank you so much friend!! Sending our appreciation to Germany!! 🌺💚
Hi thanks for the video! I am going to Oahu in a week and so excited to check out these spots! Question, were you ever concerned of sharks when you were snorkeling 40 yards off the shore?
I would say seeing sharks is a risk every time you go out snorkeling! We have seen some several times while out snorkeling other places, but not in Hawaii so far!! We always make sure we are aware of our surroundings and refreshed on our “shark safety” (One Ocean Diving is so great at sharing info and resources!!) just in case. That being said, most sharks are a lot safer than we sometimes think of - shark attacks are rare and doing some things such as avoiding splashing and being aware of your surroundings definitely help mitigate more risk!!
manoa falls
Shave ice! SHAVE ICE!!
You are not the first person to make this distinction 😂😂
Great video 📹 were going to hawaii next month ❤
BEAUTIFUL!! Hope you have an amazing vacation 💗
Great Video . In Laie and Kahuku try a Seven Brother's burger and plate lunch. The best on the island 👋
Ahhh we went to 7 Brothers TWICE while there because it was so good!! 🤤🤤
Such a fun video to watch!! Hawaii is truly unlike anywhere else. Where did you get your swimsuits, by the way??
Thank you!!! I’m all over the board - H&M, J Crew, CupShe, Albion Fit, Shein, Amazon!!
I posted some links in my LTK and grouped them in a Hawaii category!! I’m so bad at LTK but hopefully that’s a helpful!
Great and informative video. Thank you. Just curious as to what month you visited. Headed there in 9 days!
Thank you!! We were there in October 😊
Soooo many tourist in Kahuku now damn
Awesome video guys! Next time you are on the Big Island of Hawai’i, make sure to stop at Tex Drive Inn for what i consider to be the BEST malasadas ever. It’s near Waipio Valley, right off the main highway. You will not be disappointed, you will be addicted.
MALASADAS 🤤🤤 thank you for the tip!!
@@JaychelAdventure 😍
We decided not to hike to Manoa Falls, because the end result is barely a water fall. Diamond Heqd hike is way better. Great Ohau guide guys!
True!! I would definitely say the appeal of Monoa Falls is more in being in the lush green rather than the waterfall! Diamond head lacks the lush green but loved those views!!
It flows more after a period of rain, the fall flow varies
Amazing video - well done! What did you do with your valuables and car keys while snorkeling? As a victim of smash & grab when in Hawaii, I’m very curious how you both get in the water at the same time.
Nooo!! Ahh that is terrible. This vacation we traveled with family we could switch off with. But at Hanauma Bay we just left our things on the beach and didn’t have a problem - but that’s not a “public” beach so I wasn’t as worried!
Nice trip guys, beautiful footage for sure. I would mention if you go again…. You should drop the”d” on shave ice 🍧 lol. Everyone’s a critic right 😂
We heard that a few times haha. We know for next time 😂
@JaychelAdventure thanks for the video it's very informative! Do mind sharing with me the snorkeling gear brand you used?
Hi!! We have used various brands - I have liked Speedo and are currently using Cressi!
I really enjoyed your video! I was there two weeks ago and could not find parking at lanikai beach…. I drove in a circle for 30 minutes and just gave up…
Ah nooo! So frustrating! Hopefully the rest of the trip made up for it 🤞
Did you stay at Waikiki the whole trip? great video
We actually did Waikiki and Marriott Ko Olina!
👍
Thanks for great video. May i ask if we need to book a tour to polynesian cultural center? Ty
You do!! Here is the link: polynesia.com/packages/?gad=1&gclid=CjwKCAjwx_eiBhBGEiwA15gLN2XAwxHZ10Z_I8JQOiFVO1LXx7xou-6AonfGB2QDAEKuFPBk_d-OGhoCMgwQAvD_BwE&gclsrc=aw.ds
What a great video, do you rent or bring your own snorkels? If so which brand do you suggest buying? Thank you
We bought some that we can easily throw in our suitcase and bring with us to every beach!! We have a Speedo brand that we like, and the other I can’t Remember the brand! I would just definitely recommend getting a set with fins and a case to keep everything together!! And a valve at the top of the snorkel to help Keep out water. Something like this for a basic set: amzn.to/407ElZt
I will say sometimes masks are tricky for finding the right sizing/fit for your face shape so if you’re worried about that you can go to a dive shop and get fitted, but you’ll likely spend more money for that! We use our basic snorkels all the time and have not problem!
I think this is one of the best travel videos i have seen! Is sharks cove some place you can snorkel in the winter? Also, is hanama bay worth the money and hassle or is there just a good of snorkel spots on the island in the winner
Thank you!! I would assume sharks cove is year round, but not sure! Hanama Bay is half and half for me… it’s a hassle to get scheduled, but the fish are really big and not afraid of humans which is great! The bay is beautiful and super calm! So great for beginners, kids, or just ease! However, it’s kind of murky and busy - and you have to pay. So I think it’s fun to do, but I probably wouldn’t go back and do it every time I went.
Amazing travel video, question, what hotels/areas did you stay at during this trip?
We did half the time in Waikiki and the other half at the Marriott Ko Olina! Waikiki is great for proximity to great food and other activities (plus can find more affordable hotel options), Ko Olina is great for that relaxing resort experience, but is a bit farther out. Definitely pros/cons to each depending on what you’re looking for!
Nice, I try to go to Oahu every spring, I missed last year. Does anyone know if covid test is still required before entering?
So fun!! No COVID test required anymore 😊
kusha Where are you from? originally
mahalo🌺
You’re bathing suits are so cute any links for them. ?
You are so nice!! I am not great at LTK, but I’ve linked some of my swimsuits there!! 😊 www.shopltk.com/explore/JaychelAdventure
Loved the video, how restrictive was the drone usage. Wasn't sure if I was going to take mine.
I would say Hawaii is in the "medium" range for restrictions --pros8.hnl.info/hanauma-bay
You can't fly in any state parks, and then just the normal restrictions with line of sight, restricted airspace, etc
Altogether, pretty worth it though :) Lots of beautiful places to capture!!
Great video ! Did you stay in one accommodation ? We want to go to Oahu next year and don‘t know if we need one base at oahu or if we need more accommodation maybe north and south. What would you recommend ?
We usually stay in one location when we visit Oahu, but in this video we were there a bit longer so stayed in Waikiki and Ko Olina!
A lot of people stay in Waikiki which is conveniently by a lot of restaurants and beaches, but is much more busy and there can be traffic. Ko olina is great if you’re looking to do more of a “resort” vacation where you stay nearby, but it is a drive to other locations.
All-in-all, it’s not a huge island so you can plan your day around doing activities in a certain part of the island and it’s not a problem and you can still do everything! However, if you are trying to avoid more driving, then splitting up your stay would also work great! Doing Waikiki a few days and North Shore a few days would be very fun and have a nice contrast of pace 😊
Great video! Just a few things, Manoa Falls is not in Waikiki, Christmas Hat actually called Chinaman’s Hat and Pillbox is in Kailua not close to Electric Beach in Waianae.
This is the Maili pillbox hike that is by electric beach :) thanks for watching!
Do you have a link to be able to reserve for the Hanauma Bay Snorkelling? and do they provide snorkeling gear or would we have to bring our own? Thanksss!
Here is the link to reserve Hanauma bay tickets: pros8.hnl.info/hanauma-bay
They have snorkels available to rent for an additional cost :)
Hi
Awesome video
Do u think August is it a good month to visit Hawaii and the West coast of USA?
August is a great month to visit if you like warm and sunny weather!! 😊
I guess they say Shave Ice not shaved ice - going first time this April- I don’t want to frustrate the locals 😊😊
Great content! Could you please share where did you stay and what car rental would you recommend?
We stayed at the Aston in Waikiki and at the Marriott Ko’Olina. We usually use Hertz for rental car!
On the way you did the home this the snorkeling or the things I want to know how deep is that water because I’m taking my grandbaby to Hawaii this summer and I wanted her to look at the the fishes in the water but she’s only six so I need to know how deep and how is it safe enough for her to go in the water?❤
I would definitely recommend she wear a life jacket!! Hanauma bay would probably be the best to take her snorkeling - lifeguard on duty, calm waters, more shallow, and lots of fish right near the shore!! She will love it!!
Seems like it was a little tough to get a shot of you AND the sharks. Did one ocean let you dive a lot or were they quite restrictive? I hear other companies let you swim around and not hold the side of the boat
You can only dive one at a time, but they give you lots of opportunities to go dive down!! I think they were great since we are in open water with sharks - definitely would recommend!!
Get scuba certified, it’s way better than snorkeling!!
We actually are scuba certified and love it!! The ease of snorkeling is unmatched though 👌 you might enjoy seeing some of our Fiji dives!!
I have to move back
What drone do you have?
DJI Mini 3 Pro 😊
Swimming with sharks? Nope. But I’m glad you had a good experience. I try my best not to swim with sharks on Cape Cod I wouldn’t pay to do it in Hawaii. 😄 But there were many other wonderful choices in this video.
Did you have your own snorkeling gear?
Yes!! We have our own set we like to bring with us, but I am sure there are good rentals available on the island!
Which hotel did you guys stay in, going in April :)
We stayed at the Aston Sunset at Waikiki. Not sure I would highly recommend. The location was pretty good. It is definitely a more budget option compared to the other options in Waikiki!
Thank you for your response ❤
Do you have a specific location for the mermaid cave ? 😀
They’re by Nānākuli Beach Park :)
It’s probably the most visited island because the main airports is there
The accessibility of the entire island is definitely helpful!!
>70% + of Hawaii's 1.4M residents reside on Oahu. Hilo(ITO)/E-side, Kona(KOA)/W-side are located on Hawaii island aka Big Island. Kahului(OGG) is on Maui. Lihue(LIH) is on Kauai. Maui/Molokai/Lanai/Kahoolawe comprise Maui County, Kauai/Niihau make up Kauai County. Oahu & Hawaii Island are their own separate counties
Where’s the shaved ice from ? 3:38 ?
It’s called “Island Vintage Shave Ice” 🙂
It's called "Shave Ice"... otherwise great video!
Noted 😅 thank you!
Shave ice in Hawaii, not shaved :)
Ah good to know!
7 days is not enough time in Hawaii, even for just one island. Minimum stay when I go is 10 days.
Amen to that! Longer the better!! 😍
which time of the year did you go there?
Hello! We were there in October.
Lol “Leo Nards” I’ve never heard someone pronounce it that way
How do you pronounce it??
@@JaychelAdventure just Leh-nerds. One flow of the word
@@reelone595 hahaha well now we know for next time 😂😂
@@JaychelAdventure haha fasho! No worries
I love PNWers being unimpressed with Hawaii's waterfalls. A 2 mile hike to a waterfall equivalent to a dozen on the side of the freeway on Snoqualmie pass.
YES I am glad you get it 😂😂 we are so spoiled now 😅
Hi, what was the name of the buffet?
The one at the PCC? Gateway Buffet!
Why didn't you go to Pearl Harbor.
I’ve been before and highly recommend!! Unfortunately we just didn’t have time this trip :)
I loved my short visit there ,if only it wasn't ruined by a self centered,manipulating,batch.
Hello, May I share an Old Testament Verse with you from Daniel 7:14 "And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a Kingdom, that all people, nations, and languages, should SERVE Him; his dominion is an Everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom shall not pass away, and His Kingdom that which shall not be destroyed." Also, can I share Isaiah 53:5 " But HE was WOUNDED For our TRANSGRESSIONS, he was BRUISED for our iniquities; the chastisement of our peace was upon Him, and with His STRIPES we are HEALED."
God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin.Then, to grow up and die on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Holy and Sinless Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Sinless Jesus sincerely to be God's child(John 1:12).After we get saved by grace through faith in Christ, if we truly love the Lord Jesus Christ, then we will obey Jesus(John 14:15). Mark 1:15 "And saying, the time is fulfilled, and the kingdom of God is at hand: Repent ye, and believe the gospel." Jesus said in John 14:15 "If you love Me, keep My commandments. "There's a real hell. It says in Revelation 21:8 "But for the cowardly, & unbelieving, and abominable, and murderers, & immoral persons sorcerers & idolaters & all liars, their part will be in the lake that burns with fire & brimstone..." Please sincerely receive Holy Jesus and put your true faith and trust in Him today and please repent. Will you have a Real encounter with Holy Lord Jesus (Y'shua is His Hebrew Name) and stay in a Genuine relationship with Him daily please?
Anti climatic? What
I just wanted to tell you the world can be a beautiful place besides being a place full of mayhem.
I hope Russia on the other hand is going to get calmer. God save that country from trouble.
Leo-tards lol
No, no no, do not stay in Waikiki !
Were would you stay
@@poppawasarollinstoneboom9396 the North Shore at an Airbnb
I hope to one day visit Hawaii but I follow surfers from the islands and love the culture. Your video was great, but halfway in I stopped watching because you appear to have broken the law by approaching closer than 10 feet to the turtle in the reef. Also, it’s shave ice, not “shaved ice”. You did fine on the Hawaiian word but ironically had trouble with the English word. 😄
Shave Ice not Shaved Ice.
IF YOU'RE THINKING OF TRAVELING TO HAWAII PLEASE JUST GO TO FLORIDA OR MEXICO. WE HAVE A SERIOUS PROBLEM WITH OVER TOURISM ON UR ISLANDS!!! YOU CAN FIND BEAUTIFUL TROPICAL LOCATIONS ALL OVER THE GLOBE, PLEASE LEAVE THIS ONE ALONE AND LET THE ISLANDS HEAL
I think it’s such a shame that you would visit Hawaii and make a video and totally exclude anything about Pearl Harbor. I’m not surprised in the lack of your generation’s knowledge nor interest in such significant places and events that defined the nation. Shame on you.
We have visited before and had a great experience! However, tickets for Pearl Harbor sell out very far in advance.
@@JaychelAdventure you can walk straight in to the memorial and museums without a ticket for the ferry.
@@zeck8541 we’ve done those before! It’s a good experience 🙂
