7 rules for haoles (foreigners) in Hawaii

[QuixoticUkulele]

The turtle rule is serious. I went last year and watched like 30 people tell this man off for touching this nesting turtle.

[certifiedfnhater]

Basically the rule is be chill and don’t do stupid shit.

[iluvkenns]

the fact that he dove in and tackled him when he was reaching out for the turtle😭

I went to Hawaii with my dads side of the family one year and it was AMAZING. The beaches were so beautiful and I really enjoyed learning about the culture.

I love how much Hawaiian culture respects the land it thrives on. It’s the reason Hawaii is so pretty, where I live you’re lucky to find a “cool spot” in the woods without litter. And even then 100 other teenagers know about it and they go there to vape or smth.

Fun Fact: You can get a $10, 000 fine in Hawaii for touching/harassing a turtle 🐢

[SHOGUNTAHIRI]

As a New Zealander, i can relate so much to Hawaiian culture ❤ Love you Hawaiian bruddas

[The_KittenCatMEOW]

[GriseldaVonWeisboden]

[Kaleimailelauliimaikalani]

im hawaiian and ALWAYS greet EVERYONE when visting people or if people are coming over or that would be rude. and i had to rewatch and read everything because i was just singing the song💀

[grandpa]

Was expecting this to be unreasonable rules, but im glad this shit is basically "Be respectful"

[therizzleybear-duzd]

As a Hawaiian I can confirm all this especially no slippahs in the house😂🤙

Why we cant bring home rocks or "Lava rocks" : Legend has it that Pele, the goddess of fire and volcano, enacts a curse on anyone who steals items off the Island. She considers the rocks and sand her children and will do anything to protect them. The curse is only lifted when you return the stolen items.
I am from hawaii and I heard many people say it-

I used to live in Hawaii, the island Oahu for 3 years. All of these are definitely true. While your there, go on a hike! It’s super fun.

[maatoapolamalu]

My family still enforces these rules while living on the U.S. East Coast! As I was born in Pago Pago, American Sāmoa and mostly raised in Kailua, Hawai’i! Much love to my fellow Pacific Islanders! 🤙

how’d you forget making sure your sunscreen is coral reef safe

[echooo]

My mom used to be a park ranger on Maui and one of her jobs was to return all the rocks people took then mailed back to the island because the people believed the rocks gave them bad luck

[GoBuddieGo]

Respect for the use of the song as well as the awareness. Mahalo!

“Wow a turtle!”
