    True Story: I went to visit my buddy in Hawaii (kona) about 10 years ago. We went out surfin a couple times. One day there was warnings on the radio but we went anyways. Right before i got on the wave, there was a sea turtle right next to me. Scared the hell out of me. Then the wave came and my buddy was screaming "paddle out pete!" but it was too late. The wave smashed me and sent me all the way to the bottom of the floor. I started swimming to the surface as i was running out of breath, just to to smash into the sand and find out i was swimming the wrong direction. I barely floated to the top and my buddy put me on his bodyboard and pushed me into shore. He saved my life and i learned a lesson. He said the Sea Turtle was good luck. I will never forget that moment. Be wary of the waves and respect the land

    I'm a Hawaiian local & I love it when visitors try to speak pigeon or try to hard to pronounce Hawaiian words for example "Likelike" high way is not pronounced according to our english language "like-like" but it's pronounced "Leekay leekay." I also heard a tourist say "hey where's the beach called "Peepeelinee?" but it's actually just a regular english word "Pipe line," a surf spot on the north sure with huge waves & barrels that curl like a pipe that spits the surfer out the other end of the pipe, you gotta see it to understand what I'm saying.

    As far as the stuff like snorkel gear, boogie boards, etc. The hotels should have a "pay it forward" area that people can leave for the next guests to use. It would cut down on the waste. I know that there are private face book groups about Disney's Aulani resort that people post their items to pay it forward.

    As a former Maui nature guide, I really appreciate this video. All good info! The theme of visiting anywhere in Hawaii should be RESPECT. Just be respectful of everything, and everyone. These islands are home to many people, and outsiders, "haoles" need to keep this in mind. It is not a big Disney Land, it's an important cultural treasure that is becoming more and more challenging to preserve. The culture of Hawaii is all about respect for the land, water and people around you. It's about living with Aloha. (love) And you thought it meant hello and goodbye? To a native Hawaiian there is no hello and goodbye, it's a hui ho (till we meet again)

I increasingly see people rip a server or store employee because THEY didn't get special treatment or the service isn't like it is wherever they are from.

That was like 70 years ago. I returned to Hawaii after graduating from college, but found that Oahu had changed so much that I turned around and left Hawaii permanently.

    Waimea Bay is like "knock tourists on their okole" bay. They don't realize that the waves crash right on the beach because it's a huge, immediate drop-off into the ocean, like a deep end. I see so many rescues there with people not knowing how big the waves can get and how they're not just 'close' to shore.. they're ON the shore.

    #20.....very good one. But, try not to refuse ANY gifts offered to by locals. Majority of the time it is our way of showing that Aloha spirit and/or they’ve respected you.
    So when it’s refused ....it is almost like an insult. Even though you may not have meant it to be. If a gift is refused, ESPECIALLY from a kupuna(elderly/wiser male/female).....almost GUARANTEED ....you will get the dirtiest look😁😁😁. And it will be hard to get back in good graces😂.
    So, just accept it graciously. And you’ll have a person that will be the warmest energy you will ever meet. 🤙🏾🤙🏾

      As a local in Hawaii i would get why locals wouldn't respond if u say "Aloha" or "Mahalo", Sometimes us locals get pretty annoyed when tourist come to Hawaii cause all we hear from their mouth is 'Aloha' or 'Mahalo' and its just annoys us cause it the way how they say it (Accent), I mean we get your trying to be respectful and all but I think its better to smile then speak. Sorry if i sound rude but its just how it is. But don't worry locals are the best when it comes to respect .. well i guess not all but tell u now when it comes to respect we do it best ! but thas pretty much it but other than that ur fine at least your tryna make urself sure if ur disrespectful or not.
