      Shoots, ok, we lived in Pearl City and went to school and worked around Waikiki and Ala Moana. I'll start with some ono grinds 🤙. Baked Manapua from Royal Kitchen, Portuguese Omelette Sandwich at Zippys, Malasadas from Leonards. While on Kapahulu Ave go to the new Wailoa shave ice, get mung beans and mochi. Or be super akamai (smart) and go to the original Wailoa on Wailoa street. Check out the food court at Ala Moana and grab take out, for da beach or hale (house, home). Zippys is a classic favorite of the kama'aina, for da comfort foods🤙🤗

    Second trip next week- our tips:
    Paddleboarding and outrigger rides are fun at Waikiki- boat meets right outside Outrigger Reef to offer snorkel and catamaran tour- saw lots of turtles just off shore of Waikiki. If you can, rent rooms at Aulani from DVC owner- includes parking and usually 50% off discounted rates compared to booking direct- there is a secret beach not far from Aulani- turtles there, too. Steak shack just beach side of HIlton Hawaiian Village is a great meal. Love Duke's prime rib and salads- book a reservation within 30 day window. Watch the man lighting tiki torches along Waikiki- lasts about 2 hours. Free Hawaiian music/dancers - Royal Hawaiian Band- catch their performances- go to their website. Still looking for the best luau- hear the one at military only resort is great! We dont qualify😫

      I’m guessing you already went but if you ever come back to Hawaii you should come to Maui. There’s tons of beautiful places to visit here. My wife and I just moved here from Colorado 7 months ago to be with her family and there’s so many places with natural beauty. Iao valley, Haleakala, twin falls in Haiku, Hana, tons of beautiful beaches, the lavender farm, and cool forest hikes in Makawao where we live. The forest here in Makawao actually reminds me of being in the mountains in Colorado.

      the best place would be lagoon 1 at Ko Olina. In Waikiki, rent a board at the Kahanamoku Lagoon (Hilton Hawaiian Village).

    Loving your videos!! We are planning a trip next winter. Only thing I’m worried about is how family friendly are the beaches in terms of other visitors and their bathing suits?? Does everyone wear thongs on the beaches? Coming from a province where we are land locked and wear winter gear for 6 months of the year, we would find that so uncomfortable and worry about our kids.

    • @TheHawaiiVacationGuide
      @TheHawaiiVacationGuide  Před rokem +1

      It is fashionable now to wear those smaller bathing suits. You will find folks wearing them on the beaches. Visit the smaller beaches if you don't want to see them. See our best beaches article here: thehawaiivacationguide.com/best-beaches-on-oahu-hawaii/
