  • Shot on my birthday, this video offers a unique present to myself by crossing a major item on my bucket list: A drive on Interstate H-3 in Oahu.

    Had to click on this video as soon as I saw it. Excellent work here and amazing scenery and engineering here. As you said in the video, it's on many roadgeeks bucket list, including mine.

      Thanks. Oahu has its own vibe compared with the rest of the island. It's L.A. with a lot of laid-back (by California standards).

    Love the noticeable difference in the sides of the island from north to south. The Windward side on the north all green and lush, compared to the almost California-like dryness of the Leeward side on the south coast. Hawaii is truly a one of a kind place, and such a gem that we in the US are blessed to have within our territory

    "The other side of the range feels like another world." I thought that exact same thing when I first did it. I remember when I first drove the H-3. It was unlike anything I'd ever driven before. The Haiku Stairway caught my eye so much that I went back and did it the very next year.

    Hope you had a good birthday. It's always great when there's new stuff from you, partly because your videos are so well-filmed and informative, and partly because you always hip me to some new tunes ...

    Hawaii is the best and great for some fun in the sun is the best and amazing trip for the first time in the world of the same thing as well and the best thing ever for the series of the videos on CZcams is the only way to get it right by setting it in motion to the maximum

    Wow. Amazing! This sure beats the Quad Cities USA like I’m used to seeing on your channel! Beautiful Hawaii! Happy Birthday also! Thank you for sharing this! Mark in Iowa. Great to see you back! Mark.

    Happy birthday to you my friend- you got lucky to visit it on your birthday! I have always wanted to ride Interstate H-3 for years since I read about it years ago as a kid- I have raced on it in video games- there was a series of video games- Test Drive Unlimited and its sequel where you had the opportunity to cruise and explore those highways in pretty cool detail- so that has made my desire to ride H-3 a major item on my bucket list as well! Then again- Hawaii has been on my list for YEARS as well- thanks for a great ride and a great video!

    Welcome back, Solarcatcher!

    I admit that I-H3 is a freeway engineering marvel with tunnels and even have their carriageways elevated because Hawaii doesn't want to replace nature and wildlife with architectures.

      Thanks! I'll probably get back to finishing videos soon. Real life has kept me busy.

    Nice video! This is the most scenic freeway in Hawaii and very challenging to built it. I love riding on H-3. I think I've ever seen these freeways in Hawaii from the game Test Drive Unlimited.

    Hawaii really a beautiful state overall, same with Alaska
    Glad to see you back after a near year long hiatus, thought you permanently retired there for a sec lol

    Happy birthday mate!! Amazing video, love how driving the H-3 feels like you're travelling through a rainforest even though you're actually never that far from civilization. And the views are simply breathtaking.
