I am moving to Kaneohe next week from Los Angeles, California and my daughter lives in Honolulu. One thing I've noticed about drivers on the island of Oahu is that they are far more polite and considerate of others than those here on the mainland, especially in Los Angeles County. There is very little speeding, if any, far less tailgating, and few drivers cut in front of others in a rush to get to their destination. Every time I drive in downtown L.A. my blood pressure rises and I come home with a tension headache. It will be a refreshing relief to be able to drive like a normal human being and not have to worry about the unsafe antics of other crazy drivers such as we have here in California on a daily basis. Can't wait to make Kaneohe my new home. Thanks for an outstanding video!!!

Thanks Maila! I love Kane’ohe even though I live in Kaimuki/Mo’ili’ili! I went school at WCC, worked out in Kaneohe Bay photographing tourist with scuba gear on and some jet skis and canoe. Worked at He’eia Elementary +A, went up Haiku stairs couple times, walk the old Pali road under the Pali Hwy bunch of times, many beach days at Kualoa and going out to Chinamans Hat. My moms side grew up in Ka’a’awa and we spent plenty weekends of my younger life there and hiking up to the bunker. Went hiking and camping in the back of Waiahole plenty before they closed access to the back of the valley. Awesome episode!!! ❤
I lived on the island when I was a kid in the '60's and still remember my first view of Kaneohe from the Pali; stunning. I told my parents I wanted to live there. Took my wife there last year and told her this is the place I wanted to live when I was a kid, now she knows why. Great video, thanks for sharing. Mahalo.
This place looks like it feels like home. It’s good to know Hawaii still has places like this(after seeing all the master plan communities.) Oreo has the same personality as my cat Charlie. Same coloring too.
My wife and I married in Kualoa ranch at Paliku garden. We come to visit family here during the holidays and always make a point to drop by. Kaneohe area is my favorite on the island.
All of life is a moment in time and place. In 1976 our company held it's Christmas party at Haiku Gardens. I escorted Evelyn, our married job site secretary, 14 years my senior. Joann Lau, our office secretary whom I had asked out ( she did not have her engagement ring on) showed up with her elongated professorial looking fiancee. A man who looked ill at ease in social settings. Joann and I made eye contact and knew we were with the wrong person. Down haiku rd. and across the Kam hwy is a street called Punalei Place. In 1984 a girl by the name of Caitlin Doughty would grow up on that street and eventually work with me in the San Francisco Bay Area. She would go on to become a UA-cam personality and write a book " SMOKE GETS IN YOUR EYES" and I'd be a character in it. This illustrates the. incongruous nature of life. Maila, Mahalo Nui Loa for the video and the bitter sweet memories of Kaneohe. (mostly sweet) Aloha from my hawaiian alter ego; KIMO MAPUNAPUNA 🌴 🌴
I grew up in Kane’ohe from the days of the Old Pali Hwy that wound through the spooky Nu’uanu forests and down the steep face of Konahuanui. My favorite memory was driving to UH up the Likelike Hwy in the mornings and enjoying the sight of the bright sunlight on the fluted face of the Ko’olaus creating alternating vertical visions of bright sunlit greens and dark shadows. In my hanabadda days, Kane’ohe was a sleepy town with wooden sidewalks and Filipino barbershops, Kumuhula Kau’i Zuttermeister overseeing her Halau with a very young Noenoe beautifully demonstrating her mother’s instructions, running behind the mosquito truck in the cloud of DDT spewing out its back, flying kites in an open grassy field where Windward City SC now sits and reaching into the cold water of a barrel to pull out a block of tofu at the original Yoshimoto store. All gone now, replaced by crowds of people and bumper to bumper traffic. But that’s progress I guess.
I lived K twn (u know u fr K wen u ID Ktwn) & kahaluu over 50yrs, but still love listening to Great "Local" Content specially coming from 1 Cute local Sista like you Keep doin wut u do, Malama Pono👊🤙
As a visitor to Kaneohe I was surprised by the large mall there and finding a parking space among hundreds or thousands of vehicles was a challenge. The mall that day had a great farmer’s market. I never got the vibe of small town, rather a suburban feel. Housing outrageously expensive but mediocre quality for our price range.
If only kaneohe people belive their mana would save them from danger from other mainland you know just respect its culture people with hawaiian born spirit even if nomore hawaiian still born with land cuz they born here you know
Great question! According to Google, it gets rain 1 out of 2 days. This explains why it’s so green when the rest of the island sees its most green months in the winter. It’s not gloomy and cloudy for months on end like the Pacific Northwest. My experience with Kaneohe is that it has some of the most glorious, sunny mornings, but by the afternoon (for the most part) the clouds roll in. Plus, it loses full sun earlier than the rest of the island because of the Ko’olau mountains. Short answer: if you’re a maximum sunshine type of person, it’s probably not going to be your favorite place to live.
I've been living in Kaneohe 3 yrs now and we love the cloudy and sunny days both. The clouds keep it cooler when other parts of the island are hot. But even with clouds, it's never cold, usually high 70s - high 80s. We like the variety of the weather and wouldn't want to be in Kapolei/Ewa area, too dry and hot for us.
My wife and I are considering this place. I'm not so sure now with the recent events though. How far is this from the place that was destroyed? Thanks a lot!
1 million tourists through Kailua, absolutely disgusting. I grew up there in the 80's and 90's when it was still more or less sleepy and to go back now its like a mini Waikiki. Thanks Obama, lol.
This place absolutely isn't nothing compared to what my sister is telling me that the hospital and the homeless shelter isn't a nice place to look for help as she's trying to do right now June 2024!!! Personally, my sister is an idiot for moving there with her little daughter and the fact that she's homeless too, and apparently the homeless shelter at this location has policies that are right next to the definition of communism and filled with homeless criminals who steals personal properties that belongs to others; Now, do you think Hawaii is a nice place to live at, I don't think so; This damn video is only an illusion

No bring da mainland here tho
You're good at doing these presentations, like a professional. Would never think you're actually a real estate agent.
Oh wow! Thank you so much, but should I be more realtor-y so people call me to help them buy and sell houses? 😂

Lived on Kaneohe Bay for 6 year, one of my favorite places I’ve lived on the island.
I was stationed at Kaneohe Marine Corp Air Station and I loved the community

Wow! Such wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing.
Was living in Kaneohe for a few years , missing it very much , making me Homesick so many places too remember .❤❤❤

When you know, you know. Thank you for sharing!
Awesome!
Nice to see an entire video highlighting Kaneohe. Home sweet home for me and proud of it.
God bless

Oreo has the same personality as my cat Charlie. Same coloring too.
Haha! I looove Oreo.
And I agree with you. It definitely feels like Hawai'i.
You gone done it again. Excellent video. The chicken wing action in slow motion got me good. 😂

EVERYTHING Hawai'i is God's Country!
Excellent video. Thank you.
My dream place to live 💙 One day I will be there with my family. 🙏🏼
Excellent review of such a beautiful area in Hawaii 🌴
Thank you!
So good...thank you...❤
The wind hair struggle is real 💯 😂
Omg right?! It is what it is. Yasu asked, “Are you ok with this?” I was like, whatever.
Local girl style 💯
I love the garden where we have picnic with the Kuolau in the background
😊
Great Place… Aloha 🤙🏾

I was stationed at K-Bay in 1968-1970 LOVE it there - Would definitely move there if we could - but for now,m we visit the Island twice a year!
oh my god it's so cloudy and austere, i will move to Kaneohe from Kapolei soon, amen
Kapolei - too much sun?
Lived there for 3and1/2 years while in the marines
Beautiful dress. Great video. ❤❤❤

I'm from kaneohe I used to live on ihilani street across from Castle high I also have keneohe tattooed on my arm
That’s awesome! 😆
3:51 I believe the pork thing . In my town in my country something similiae would happen to bikes
If only kaneohe people belive their mana would save them from danger from other mainland you know just respect its culture people with hawaiian born spirit even if nomore hawaiian still born with land cuz they born here you know
Awesome video! Where did you get your dress? Please tell me I can find it somewhere here on O’ahu!!
Thank you! It’s from Always A-line.
@@mailagibson6787 mahalo! So happy I saw that they ship so I don’t have to go to town. I don’t do town lol!
Yay!
Move anywhere other then eastside 🤙🏽
What would you say, percentage wise, would the average amount of cloudy/sunny days be in Kaneohe?

People drive into Lake Champlain too.
Wow!
How did u manage to get food from Waihole Poi Factory with no line??? lol!
So, is everything that isn't Oahu an "outer island?"
“Neighbor” island would be more appropriate. It’s a bad habit of us Oahu residents to call the neighbor islands outer islands 😅
Bad habit. I gotta break it!
My wife and I are considering this place. I'm not so sure now with the recent events though. How far is this from the place that was destroyed? Thanks a lot!
I can tell you one island girl. Why you no speak pigeon????
Nobody shopping at target anymore after they went woke lmao
You should get a prize. I was wondering who, if anyone, would be the first to say this. 😂
