You are so kind to call the Ala Wai canal a bay. It’s the most trashed, polluted water in the State. Anyway, glad you enjoyed Honolulu 🤙

Mahalo (thank you) for visiting Hawaii! I lived in Hawaii all of my life and travel a lot, and I always follow the rule of 'treat people the way you want to be treated'. You are a nice friendly person, and that's why people are friendly to you.

Wow ~ Hawaii, a place we have wanted to vacation since we were kids! The people there are so nice, it’s no wonder it’s the best vacation spot in the world! Your room is really great, not cheap but looks very comfortable! The sky in Hawaii is so beautiful, and it feels perfect when you walk on the street! Their biscuits are so exquisitely packaged, they look like works of art! Hawaii is really famous for its coffee. I remember when I was a kid, my parents went to Hawaii with a tour group. They bought me two small bags of volcano coffee powder. It is still the best coffee I have ever tasted. I miss the taste so much! Not surprisingly, you walk into a shopping mall again, but the mall in Hawaii is so beautiful, it feels like a park! The 50th state of the United States is so dreamy and beautiful! And that painter makes it cool! Thank you so much for sharing such a perfect day, you are really awesome! 👍😍🙌

I visited Hawaii for the first time last year, staying on Oahu. Honolulu/Waikiki is just a small part of what amazed me about that island. Ko Olina, Haleiwa, Banzai pipeline, Turtle Bay, Diamond Head, and so much more. I didn’t hardly scratch the surface while I was there. Love Hawaii!

Honolulu is a big city, and we have typical 'big city' problems: homelessness, crime, pollution, but we do our best, and I think we're getting better. Be careful as you would in any big city. Ask locals for their advice, and most would be more than happy to help. New subsriber.

Welcome to Hawaii!! They are called Tiki Torches.

Let’s goo I was waiting for a video and it’s Hawaii

Thank you showing this beautiful video about Hawaii , love the lights, love that drawing it’s so cool. 🤩🤩

So quick tip if you’re looking for clothing or souvenirs for a great price… head to Walmart or Ross - my husband bought two dashing pair of sunglasses at Ross and we bought like the biggest bulk of key chains and 2 towels at Walmart. Best bang for your buck 👍🏻

I’m heading to Oahu, Kauai and the Big Island in September. Love how your video makes me feel like I’m there with you on your adventure. Very real!

Thanks for posting this video

Ive been to Waikiki dozens of times, visiting again at the end of the month, seeing your reaction as a first time visitor gives me a new appreciation of the place, countng the days till I land in HNL

I only watched this segment and I hope you got to walk through the grounds of the Royal Hawaiian Hotel. We live on Oahu but we frequent Waikiki just to feel like tourists and we also like the vibe there. My favorite thing is to walk along the Royal Hawaiian Shopping Center to the Royal Hawaiian Hotel and walk through it's amazing grounds; it really feels like you have stepped back in time to the 1940's. One night at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel costs about $600 but we are going to splurge on our anniversary. That old pink hotel has so much history I need to add it to my bucket list, and I live here!

We're headed to Waikiki for the first time in August. Love your content!

Honolulu has recently been ranked as the safest city in the world.

Aloha Zane! Welcome to Oahu, Hawaii, 2024 🏄‍♀️🏄🤙🌺

Yesss Honolulu is the best. Make sure you visit Manoa falls, in my opinion the best thing to do on the island! Enjoy Hawaii.

Royal Grove Hotel one block from Waikiki Beach, old family owned kitschy cool places with yearly regulars. Small pool. I used to pay $60 a night now it's $150 a night which apparently is cheap. Check it out it's close to the iconic Moana Surf Rider right on the beach. Don't miss Duke's breakfast brunch every morning. Jimmy Buffet covered a locals song Duke's on Sunday. At 16:32 you can see the pink hotel down the road a block while you are standing at Waikiki Beach. That's it. Great location and cheapest place around.

i’m going to waikiki next week and omg i can’t wait it looks beautiful!!

You’ve got to get malasadas at Leonard’s in Waikiki and a slice of Haupia pie from Ted’s on the north shore.

A new fan. of yours, just finished the Japan Videos,due to vacation coming up, thanks for the advice and explaining that you do in those videos.

I love the portrait wow very creative ❤❤

Last year I visited Waikiki as well, but in your video I found it more relaxed and funny time chatting with others during the trip. Next time, I’ll visit other places again with better English conversation skills and outgoing vibes! Thanks for the videos, I feel like I have learned something important from the way you travel and contact with various people in various places!

I’m not a local but yes, I would call those tiki lights. Seeing this makes me want to definitely plan a trip to Hawaii. It will be my first time. 😊🌴

Been to Hawaii 100s of times and Waikiki has changed over the years for good and bad but you brought back that feeling when everything was special because we were experiencing it for the first time. We love that feeling. Am sorry you didn’t experience the original International Market Place before they turned into a mall. It was a hub of carts, eateries and entertainment, the owner actually lived in a treehouse on that banyan tree. Jc n Red

Hawaii is a vibe for sure. I like the quick 7 hour flights to Tokyo and LA too. I could set up shop in Honolulu for a few years for sure for easy access to Asia and Cali.

Nice to see you in hawaii. Stay blessed. Aloha

How crazy! U just left my native country in Cambodia to my hometown in Honolulu, Hawaii. Welcome to Waikiki!!!

Love Hawaii, been there a few times, the weather , tropical fruits, beaches and more. I was just there in August 2023. Uber and taxi are freaking expensive,so ended up rent a car to commute around Island. And I stayed in Waikiki as well except Hotel was more expensive than yours per night. I couldn’t find a lower price than $300 plus per night. But I like it, so no complain:-).

great vibe at this hawaii place.

i swear everytime im about to go somewhere, you go there too 😂😂

Is this the video when you were in Hawaii a month or so ago? Glad to see you finally posted it 😁

Oooh, I've had those cookies. Divine! Yes. The International Market - full of good stuff, but better in the old days when it was just mom and pop stalls with jewelry, textiles, carvings, and a million other things. Thanks for the memories!

Thanks for your video from where in the States you come. We love Hawaii. You will definitely want to return.liz from Australia xx

Hawaii is such a peaceful place

ハワイいいよね〜。息してるだけで元気になる

Tiki torch? Love the content!

I love Oahu and Waikiki, I try to take a holiday there from Canberra Australia every year to attend the VW Club of Hawaii Shaka Weekend over the Labour Day long weekend, was there last year with my daughter for her 21st birthday and stayed at The Twin Finn. Unable to go this year but will go next year for sure.

OMG, i've been to Cheeseburger in Paradise 25 years ago with my Mum. First time in Hawaii. Best Burger ever:-)

Im here too!

Amazing how you went from Cambodia to Hawaii! Honolulu is my home town and would never live anywhere else in the world. I know you love doing Mall vlogs, go to Ala Moana Center that is the largest outdoor shopping mall in the world! While you're there, visit Honolulu Coffee Company! Each island has it's own personality. Kauai is The Garden Isle, very rural and laid back. Of course you already know that Maui had a very tragic Lahaina fire just last year and is in the recovery process. WIth you RU-vid channel, you should fly over to Kahului and showcase The Valley Isle. They really need the help and support to build Lahaina and the rest of Maui. The Big Island has Hilo and Kona both different in scenery and vibes. Thank you for finally visiting Hawaii. You sort of mentioned how the Japanese love Hawaii so much. Precovid, they were our #1 visitors in our state. But because of the exchange rate and differences in the US economy and Japan state of economy, you've already seen the huge influx of westerners visiting Japan, but I don't think you would even notice how few Japanese tourists are in Waikiki. They use to dominate tour buses, airline flights, shopping on Kalakaua Ave etc. Please go visit Pearl Harbor and make the connection with Hawaii and Japan. And do what the tourists do by going to a Luau. Safa travels!!!

I used to live on Oahu, beautiful to visit but living long term isn't fun, the cost of living is crazy! Best part about it is the cheap flights to other islands. The big island is amazing, you can swim at the beach, then go check out the snow (depends on the season) on the 13k foot elevation volcano. There's also a hike from sea level to about 13k elevation, it's intense.

I love waikiki.

"Big Isand candies "cookies are the best! Only at Ala Moana Shopping Center and Big Island though..

Matey 👍 big jump from phnom Penh , ✈️

Wow Asia to Hawaii 🤙

wow a few days ago you were in phnom penh lol

How can you be at the beach and not get in the water?!!! Love your first impressions. Waikiki is my fav. I’m checking out your Japan vlog next

Great video Zane. Just a question about tipping when ordering from the table using a QR code. Can you add the tip to the order electronically, or do you still need to tip with cash?

if you want to see big wave surfing, you have to go to O'ahu's north shore. waves can get over 40 feet.

Just stayed at that location in March... pretty central to everything. Room was ok.

100% Kona coffee, the only way to go 😋

Welcome to my home! Aloha

Try rainbow drive in on Kapahulu Ave at the end of waikiki

Wow I'm in kauai !!

I get motion sickness too! As a matter of fact, watching the camera whip around so quickly is making me feel ill

Aloha 🤙 welcome to the Aina. Prices here much different from southeast asía but the weather and beaches here are beautiful

Look for the hideaway bar for decent drink prices. In an alley behind a 711 a locals place.

Depends where u going ,u catch the bus

Anyone who thinks you're there now obviously didn't catch the comment at the start about not needing to clear immigration due to still being in the US, implying that this was filmed at the start of your latest trip on the way to Asia from the US!

Don’t forget to Eat the Hawaiian Best Loco Mocco or Spam 😂😅😂😂 and Fresh Sushi 🍣 yummy 😋 👍👍👍

what month is the best time to go Hawaii? Thanks

Thank you for a nice video. Us locals are the nicest people you will ever meet...as long as you treat Hawaii with respect. I work in Waikiki and deal with a lot of disrespectful visitors, unfortunately. Also, you can't drink in public here, but a lot of people do it anyway.

hey zane what gear do you use if you dont mind me asking. Like what is your setup? I am interested in doing what you do and saw your camera in the mirror and it looked simple enough but i didnt know exactly what it was. thank you.

Nice Drawing

Watching from Cambodia.

Thats good

Are you still here in Hawaii? I've watched a bunch of your Japan videos and was surprised when I came across this Hawaii one. Be careful and don't roam around in Waikiki late at night. Stay safe!!!🌺

Hawaii volcanic water is expensive but very good water from the Big Island

That cartoon of you 😂

Just some shops to shopping

Hows your Budget on the food

Winning at travel hacking, anyone? From Cambodia to Hawaii in the blink of an eye. Another place filled with history!

You should come visit Canada 🇨🇦

I live om O'ahu. Haven't been to Waikiki in years.

Waikiki is cool but it's a big tourist trap. i enjoyed Kauai more. one day you should visit there too. anyway, keep up the good work man. love your channel.

You gotta go out for that ,but you gotta know the water

I think that hotel is where I went for Ube pancakes at that restaurant in the lobby. If you don't know, about 20% of the population is Filipino.

Aloha! Go around the island.

The ala Moana mall has a cheap food court.

There are a lot of hotels way cheaper than that in Waikiki. I know some about $75 - $100 a night.

if you are landing in hnl , i usu book with hawaii23, set price of $23 ie to waikiki... add tip, so about $28-30.

Its lea'lea Tours,your on kalakaua

I was disoriented when I came out of that same airport years ago. I was walking around the nearby streets when this female teen directed me which way I should go for the bus, which way Waikiki was, etc. She even gave me one way bus fare. It was good karma and a 🙏 sign of things to come. Hurricane popcorn is delicious btw. And I'm going to miss the old International Market Place.

Friendly = The Aloha Spirit

Go eat at marugame udon if you’re still in Waikīkī

Your not far from the North Shore ...the Pipeline is the wildest surf spot ...so photo great > GO !

Gotta look for sales

Hawaii is the place. to be . Oh remember ABC stores= Always Bring Cash! 😃

Get the Cookie Corner,at ala moana

Waikiki is a resort that happens to be in Hawaii. It’s like going to Vegas and saying the desert is amazing, one doesn’t represent the other. Thankfully most visitors spend 90% of their time there but it’s unfortunate that they think that’s what Hawaii is.

We welcome all TOURISTS. Just don’t forget to go back home

One of them your on Kala' kaua

Definitely looks way more like an Asian city than any other city in the US

Get lilha bakery in there

They saw you coming. That was not a local loco moko!

Tiki in Hawaii are usually carved statues representing gods. Sounds better if you call them Tiki torches.

tiki torches

Take the rail don't know when you will reach Waikiki
