I rlly recommend the Polynesian culture center! (In the video) there are so many great shows and food! And my tour guide was so kind! I had a fun time with my family. And, we ate at the buffet at night before we watched the last(best) show. 😅 so if ur looking for a fun, informative trip, that's the place for you.
As person who is a local and worked at PCC at island buffet. I always looked forward when our supervisor would say “make plate”. Once all the customers are gone and our door are closed we got to get make a plate of food from the buffet.
Great Vid! You did a lot and ate a lot of awesome food. This is coming from an Oahu local too. Makes me wanna go out and enjoy my island some more. Never did the tourist thing in a while. We end up taking for granted what's here. I went to NYC last year that was an adventure for me! One MUST eat place if you ever come back is Helena's Hawaiian Food... The best Hawaiian food on the island. I have heard about Marukame Udon and Maguro Bro's they have been on my list for years!
I wanted to try out Helena's!! We didn't have a car though so stuck mainly to what was in the Waikiki area.. next time. So jealous you're an Oahu local! The weather + food + people are all amazing. Hope you enjoyed your time in NYC last year!
@Edwin Wong ..you are so right about taking for granted what's here on Oahu...just watching this video and I haven't even been to some of these places!!! ..and I've lived on Oahu for '32 years'!!! ..guess we should go out more and do the "tourist thing"!!! @Angela - you did an AMAZING video of your trip to Hawaii!!! ..now I can understand why you really never ventured out of Waikiki...next time you visit try hop on "da Bus" - it pretty much goes EVERYWHERE on da Island!!!
Duke's Waikiki is part of the Outrigger hotels in Hawai'i, the truly last of the family owned major hotels. The hula pie is worth the cost; although as part of our hotel training and orientation, this was part of our employee meal! Oh yes! Working in a hotel in Hawai'i is secure employment. 😊
Just the video I needed as I’m spontaneously taking a trip there for the first time next week!! Which side of the ✈️ did you fly on to catch a glimpse of the Island 🏝 going before landing? Just want to enjoy the entire experience and views🤩
Wow the food is just amazing! I had been hearing good reviews about the food! :) I always think that travels are made easier when you have the best travel gears and essentials too. The bento bag from Nomad Lane is my best carry-on bag for dream vacation destination like this. Thought I'd share it to you guys too!
Thank you so much for shering its beautiful I have been trying to take my kids for their birthday i hope i can find something to fit my baget 4 kids and my Quinn
Love your video! Very informative and detail for visitor to Hawaii. I have a Quick question (I hope you don’t mind): how did you travel from the hotel/resident to all these places? Like did you walk, take buses or rent a car? I’m going soon and wanted to know what’s the easiest way to travel around! Thank you in advance!!
Renting a car is the easiest way, but neither of us drive. We walked if it was close enough, and planned our trip around a set location each day to reduce the number of ubers we'd need to call.
May I ask what kind of clothes (shorts , pants ) and shoes ( hiking boots , sneakers) to hike when it’s dry and wet at places ?was there a lot mosquitoes? Thank you
I'd definitely recommend bug spray for hikes where it's a bit wet / muddy, as well as hiking shoes or just sneakers with a good grip as it can get slippery. I just wore regular shorts and a tshirt, nothing too sporty.
Not trying to be rude but it's so interesting that it seems east coast Asians don't cross cultures as much as west coast Asians do--just something I am guessing based on your pronunciation of some of these words and other similar Asian UA-camrs I've seen visiting hawaii.
How did you pack the donuts back home on your trip? Did you put it in your carry on? I'm planning to bring back baked goods and packaged food as my Souvenir back home
Hanauma Bay - is on my trip list, you said you bought goggles and snorkel from a ABC store 👍 But I’m interested in , how you got to Hanauma Bay ? Reading about the changes , you now have to reserve a place by their web site to visit and no taxis or tour operators are aloud to take you.
I took an uber to and from. And yup, you'll have to reserve a spot on their website. I woke up early right as they opened spots (they open spots 2 days prior) and booked. Everything's usually booked out within 5 minutes so you have to be quick. It's definitely well worth it, even if a bit troublesome.
Truthfully guys...you could skip the Marukame Udon. Lines way too long. There's a ton of ramen shops on Oahu. Pretty much with the same quality. If you actually want something that's popular with locals, then I suggest trying chinese saimin. Basically chinese ramen. It's what you find most times in local diners.
udon is different than ramen and marukame is ridiculously cheap for what you get. and the line moves quick. our line was out the door but it was only like a 6-7min wait
REALLY?!...$30 for loco Moco?! U got hosed! Right up the road from WKK is Rainbow Drive-in/St. Louis Drive-in. Around PCC, there's is local favorite Papa Ole's Kitchen. For $30, all 3 will offer better $$$$/flavor value. Papa Ole's offers 3 patties/eggs Drowning in brown gravy! No Way are you leaving that place, feeling Short Changed! FYI...ALL of the villages @ PCC are operated by workers from that particular island group & ALL are LDS students at BYU-Hawaii.
I'll definitely have to try Rainbow Drive In next time! Heard great things about it / wanted to go, but Aloha Table was just a bit more conv for us since we had no car. It was also $30 for the entire meal for two people!
Hello🐧🐧🌸🦩🐍🐍🐧🐧🐧🐕🐶, 🐦 God the Father loves you so much that He sent Holy and Sinless Jesus (His Holy Son) to earth to be born of a virgin. He grew up and died on a cross for our sins. He was in the tomb for 3 days, then Father God raised Jesus Christ (Y'shua) to Life! He appeared to people and went back to Heaven. We must receive Jesus sincerely to be God's childJohn 1:12. "But as many as received Him, to them He gave power to become the sons of God, even to them that BELIEVE on HIS name." That is great news! Will you sincerely receive Holy, Lord Jesus into your life today?
Fat noodles are my favorite, from udon to chow fun, i rate these noodles far above other Asian style of noodles to eat and enjoy. My home State of Hawai'i is okay. Food is unsurpassed, making a living sucks
You over paid looking at da prices I’m from Hawaii next time you go back reach out I tell u folks wat da us Hawaiian do and will cut your cost in half 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾

Aloha @Angela I'm glad you had a good time here in Hawaii. Great video!

Hawaii is such an incredible and gorgeous place! Great video :)
Thank you! Loved my time there
Hawaii has so much homeless theres so many crazy and drunk people on some streets
Amazing vlog thank you! You have inspired me and my mom’s food tour for our Oahu trip.
Exciting! Enjoy the food tour :)
We live on the west side but love that drive on the east coast up to PCC! Great vid!
It's the best!
Family trip in March. This was awesome 👏
Have an amazing time!!

Great video! Fun highlights

Nice one! I have plan.. and vacation too..!! Greatness times.
Yay! Have a great time

Thanks for watching Reagan!
Thank you so much for shering its beautiful I have been trying to take my kids for their birthday i hope i can find something to fit my baget 4 kids and my Quinn
Hope you all get the opportunity to go! You'll have a great time.
Did you notice that the farther you went from Waikiki the cheaper the food? So much good food here.
I'm sure! Wish I got to venture further out, but we didn't have a car so mostly ate within walking distance of our resort
As I tell most visiting mainland friends...If you stay in/around WKK/HNL area, you Will pay WKK/HNL $$$$...Things that make you go...WTF?!-smh
Awsome! We are after Oahu trip too. Amazing place!
It was awesome!
Love this video, I’ve always wanted to go to Hawaii.
You should definitely go
Added to my bucket list!
🤩🤩
Going in June! Looking forward to these places!
Have the best time!
Same here! I’m going in July looking for all the cool places to eat and the hikes to go on:)
@@smooth235 Have the best time!
Wow...very nice video! I live in Honolulu and haven't tried half of those places. I will now! Lol
Do it!! Jealous of you haha
20 years ago that Udon place used to be a Jack n the Box. Really ghetto one too lol
How it's changed!
Make sure you go to a good restaurant that serves saimin and won ton min and barbecue sticks.
Ah will keep in mind for next time!!
Hawaii looks beautiful!
It's gorgeous!!
Great food choices
Hi, I am going to Hawaii in April and trying to plan my trip. Which foods do you recommend that aren’t seafood? Lol I just can’t eat that.
Loco moco, garlic shrimp, spam musabi!
@@angelasunx3 lol No seafood. Something else please
@@mikeh7220 ignore the garlic shrimp! the other two i'd rec
@@angelasunx3 Thanks
Question. How can you get the bus if you going to Polynesian culture? Thank you🙏🏻😊.
They come pick you up and tell you the time and place (usually from your hotel)
I’m visiting this month !
Exciting! Have the best time
This video is amazing. Hawaii's a beautiful place and definitely on my bucket list of spots to visit. All the food is making me HUNGRY.
Haha making you hungry was the goal
Great video angela! :) although i’m not going to lie 30$ is very steep and expensive 😨
Thanks so much! $30 for which item?

Thanks! Hand carried them back on the plane

Awesome thanks for sharing!
Thanks for watching!
Ono is so gooood
Right?? 🤤🤤
theres a lot more to do than that you didnt mention Kahlua ranch, going to a luau, or even pearl harbor lol
There's tons to do! Couldn't fit them all.

Cool, What was the Uber charge there and back ?
Great video I will stay in Hilton Hawaiian village did u use the bus or u rent a car I’m confused I can’t decide and did u go with a tour
I took ubers generally, and did a tour to visit the other side of the island for one of the days
did you buy tickets for the Polynesian cultural and hiking trips or did you just go?
Bought tickets prior

Truthfully guys...you could skip the Marukame Udon. Lines way too long. There's a ton of ramen shops on Oahu. Pretty much with the same quality.

@@8jaytee The wait was surprisingly so quick
I always went to the one in downtown. Hard to find parking but the line is nowhere as long as the one in waikiki
@@cheehee808_ if I lived there I'd go to that location all the time!
Damn, all the food looks delicious
Food was bomb
Is October a good time to visit Oahu?🙌🏼
I don't see any reason not!
What is the best time to go to Diamond Head Crater?
Typically early morning as it isn't as crowded or hot.
What is the brand of the selfie/phone stabilizer that you used?
Hohem (it's in my description box!)
Definitely tourist spots.
definitely! but good if it's your first time
Please let us know where you stayed and how you commuted
Hilton Hawaiian Village - either by walking or uber, unless it was a tour
that steak looked wild.... did you really eat that?
Paia (3 syllables) puh - e - yuh.
Pa'ia Fish Market, pronounced Pah-ee-yah, town on N Maui, roughly 10-15mins E on Hana Highway
It's fantastic!
good video
Thanks Trent
Where did you stay in hotel?
Hilton Hawaiian Village

How bout a spot for a hiyashi chuka in Oahu
There was one I passed by but didn't try it!
It’s in the bucket list beside poke lol lmk if anything comes up, planning a trip in Jude 🤙🏼👋
@@Banana-um1rw Ramen Nakamura was the one I passed - it's in Waikiki area and had a long line / great reviews. Would've tried if I was there longer.
How much did you spend in total?
Around $3.5K for a 1-week trip
Great 👍 thks ❣️
Thanks for watching!
I love how the whole video is about Hawaii but the location says New York lol
Need to change that 😂 too used to putting nyc
I just ate breakfast and now I’m hungry again…
I had one too many cravings while editing this too...
..ok I’ve been living on Oahu my whole life and I still am so how the hell do I not know these places if I lived here my whole damn life-?
They're probably too touristy for you!
