So you're thinking of coming to Hawaii? Do it!

​Oahu is the "gathering isle." If you're visiting this island you'll fly into the Daniel K Inouye airport in Honolulu. Chances are you're probably staying in Waikiki.

Let's explore Waikiki together! I'll show you the stores, landmarks, and food along the way + some safety tips!

Safety tips:

Waikiki is a big and crowded place. Be alert and, please,  keep these safety tips in mind:
​
  • Don't jay walk - both pedestrians and drivers in Waikiki don't know where they're going
  • Don't leave your bag (or other valuables) in a vehicle, rental car, etc - I learned this the hard way

Where to eat:

  • Liliha Bakery - get the cocoa puffs (original, matcha, and chocolate) and poi mochi donuts

  • Don Ho statue at the International Marketplace
  • Duke Kahanamoku statue
  • St. Augustine by the Sea Catholic Church + Damien and Marianne of Molokai Learning Center

Where to shop:

  • Gucci
  • Louis Vuitton
  • Tiffany and Co
  • Saks 5th Avenue (Target will soon replace this store!)

Thank you for sharing your video exploring Waikiki! I thoroughly enjoyed watching it and being transported to the beautiful shores of Hawaii. The vibrant atmosphere, stunning beaches, and breathtaking views showcased in your video truly captured the essence of Waikiki.

Your footage of Diamond Head State Monument was particularly impressive, and I appreciated the insights you provided about its history and significance. The aerial shots of Waikiki Beach highlighted its allure and made me want to dive right into those crystal-clear waters. It's evident that Waikiki offers a perfect blend of relaxation and excitement, with its lively atmosphere and plethora of activities.

I also found your recommendations for dining, shopping, and entertainment in Waikiki to be very helpful. The variety of restaurants and the local delicacies you showcased made my mouth water, and the vibrant nightlife scene seems like a must-experience for anyone visiting the area.

Overall, your video was a delightful virtual tour that left me yearning to explore Waikiki in person. Thank you for sharing your adventure, and I look forward to watching more of your travel content in the future!
