Hawaii Gone Wild: Exposing The Insanity You Don't See On TV

Wow! The things you see when you get off the main roads in Hawaii!

In this dispatch, I report back on all the crazy things I saw while spending a week on Oahu in Hawaii.

This channel is about America!

The best video on this topic!

These videos show us that no matter how nice a place may be on the surface, scratch that surface and you’ll see it’s just like anywhere else. Drugs, crime, homelessness ….

I attended grad school at the Univ. Of Hawaii during the late 1960s and lived in an apartment on Waikiki-Honolulu was like a neighborhood then! I have been back 20 times since then and, while a natural Paradise, the economy is ruined! I’m so glad I got to live there when it truly was Paradise that was affordable and small- town friendly!

I lived a couple years on the Big Island and always said Oahu is not the real Hawaii. They destroyed it for tourism. The Kona side of the Big Island is Oahu Jr. The real Hawaii is mile after mile of deteriorating houses with rusted roofs full of the poor. You are right nothing comes easy anywhere in Hawaii. There is a saying that goddess Pele will strip you of everything when you come. It's true.

Great travel vlog. You didn't know this, but the residents who don't necessarily have a lot of money harvest the eggs and roosters, catch fish catch crabs, shrimp, and bamboo shoots. Bamboo is an invasive species that is OK to cut down. The feral chickens are part of the circle of life.

As a former Hawaii resident, I think Nick summed it up perfectly when he said that the locals don't make you feel welcomed. Of course, that's just part of the aloha spirit, whereas the over crowding, heavy traffic and high price of absolutely everything doesn't help either. I think one of the pickup trucks owned by a local said it best when it had written across the tailgate... "Aloha, Now Go Home!"🌴

Shame on the mess with the lost 🍍 to the native people😢. Tourists have never made things for locals any better. The people of Hawaii have good reason to dislike tourism.

[mekalis]

High prices and too many people. No thanks.

We don't care about attracting negative people in Hawaii. Hawaii naturally repels unhappy people like magnets repels each other's north-to-north poles. The island attracts positive and happy people from all over the world because of its natural beauty, cultural diversity, lifestyle and the aloha spirit that Nick couldn't find right under his nose unless you're blind to it. I'm glad he is not the standard for beauty of anything. If you're in the very tiny minority of his circle, I'm glad you're not coming here anytime soon. Stay where you're at, PLEASE. Aloha! 😄

Even if I had the money I’d rather spend the money somewhere else

Thank You so Much for doing the video on what really goes on here in Hawaii. Our government is hiding the truth here to profit from tourists and their own local residents. My uncle finally left Oahu and moved to Las Vegas due to rising costs here. He moved at the age of 70, when he should be enjoying his retirement. He got tired by our government, ELECTRIC COMPANY (HECO), and Landlords nickel and diming him. Our government charges us more and more to cover their financial losses and that is not right and fair. Wake everyone up and don’t give into the greed because they will keep on doing this until they put us all on the streets and they don’t care as long as they get their money.

Hawaii where "progress" killed "paradise".

[Gargamel]

I prices are the reason why my whole native Hawaiian family left. They were tired of barely living, tired of relying on the government, all of it. But we're here in San Diego and a little up towards LA but we do miss the islands and they are always in our hearts.

I know a young couple that just used up all their saving to have a wedding of a life time in Hawaii while still living in one of their parents' basement! Different people prioritize their lifestyle according to their long or short term views.

Nick, this is the best, most real, most balanced, least politicized, documentary series of Hawaii I've ever seen. I spent the first 32 years of my life there.

I was in Kauai, and after a big Hurricane, the chickens 🐓 were all over, and my son was little and loved to chase the chickens.

Hawaii is my home 🏝️ island. No matter what or how expensive it is.. it's still my HOME..🌺🏝️💝🏡😘 peace out Oahu..🤙 Thanks for sharing..kamaina from LAIE north shore..😢

People always think roosters crow in the morning, which is true, but when I lived on the islands, there were so many chickens roosters would be crowing in the evenings and in the morning, it was insanity

There is no way a gallon of milk, a loaf of orrowheat, a pinapple and coconut cost $72...

People ruin everything, this proves it. Overtourism and sustainability are problems at may popular attractions worldwide. I've been here twice; I'll pass on a third trip.

There's a dish called, generally, "Salt and pepper shrimp" they cook it so hot that the shell becomes really crispy and indeed, you eat it shell and all. It's really good!
