It's not DUMB to go to McDonalds to get items that aren't found on the mainland! Definitely agree not to go there to get regular food, but we always go to McDonalds in different countries to get the unique items.

9.5: not talking to the locals! We've had some amazing times speaking to the aunties and uncles we meet on the trails, at Windward mall, love hearing their stories

Always love seeing you hang with Amanda and Felix. Thanks for the tips. Actually when I went to Honolulu in 2021, I did visit a McDonald’s. But they did have unique items catered to Hawai’i like Portuguese sausage, eggs and rice or Spam and rice. So I kept away from stuff I could get in Southern California. 😎

Thank you for giving us a heads up on Oahu.
One superstition I've heard about is re: not taking rocks or some type of black sand from the island because if you do bad luck will follow you.

Mahalo Jaycation, Amanda, and Felix for your tips so tourist can respect the land, and at the same time, make sure they have a fun and safe trip here. As for Hawaiian superstitions, one of them was not sleeping with our feet facing out the door. The Hawaiian spirits could drag you by your feet out the door. My family are all Natives and they heavily believed in all Hawaiian superstitions. And good point Felix with waving the shaka in traffic and Amanda, with not leaving valuables in the car. And Dadcation, you rock those Crocs well. That was a funny cool segment with the crocs.😂❤🤙👍

Another pet peeve from a local - do NOT touch Monk Seals and Turtles! I watched a tourist woman approach a giant, large slumbering Monk Seal and started to get really close to it at a beach and the locals were yelling at her. The seal lunged at her and almost attacked her...very stupid!! Also, keep your hands off turtles, it's illegal to handle them unless you are part of a research team or have a permit!

Great tips Jay, my daughter lives there on the Island and I see many of these things happen when I visit! You mentioned TSA, put all those large bottles of sunscreens and other creams, pastes, lotions, aerosols and gels into your checked bags. It is still a requirement for liquids to be 3.4oz (100ml) or smaller and fit into one quart-size bag per person for carry-on. Oh and remember that when buying souvenirs to take home. Jams, jellies and other spreadable, squeezable, squishable items are considered liquids, as well as large snow-globes and will need to be wrapped well and put into your checked bags. I'm a retired TSA officer and I absolutely hated throwing away items people brought to the airport without understanding the rules in place when flying!

Do not HONK!! Unless it’s to avert a life threatening situation!!

Another one is “Don’t mess with the Duke statue” I’ve seen so many people climb and steal leis from Duke. Smh

One more dumb mistake my fam made caused us to have to pay for a $500 "Taxi" trip. Make sure to plan transportation! We joined a fire dance lesson excursion near the Polynesian center at 6pm on a Thursday, and there were NO Taxis and NO ubers available to drive us back to Waikiki. We begged a local on the road to drive us back but he charged us $500 for the hour drive home. I'm thankful he took us back, riding in the back of his pickup truck (6 of us, with 2 children under 3).

Let people cut in! My biggest pet peeve is here in Hale’iwa, tourists driving down the Main Street do not let people cut in! Some of us live here and need to get in or out of Malama Market or Longs ya know! You know it’s a local most of the time when you are allowed to cut in and you exchange shaka’s. Be like that tourists! Please! It’s not all about you! Here in the islands we are much more gracious.

Thank you for the great video! We're gearing up for our first Trip to Hawaii next week, so I've been watching your videos and taking notes. I couldn't help but laugh though, because of your tip to avoid the major food chains. We've lived in Japan for over 2 years now. The first thing I looked up when I found out we're going, is the nearest Chick-fil-a. Lol. I want to do local food too, but I have to get my fix while I can!

[alexwallace]

Good job! Thanks Amanda & Felex for working with you.

[momcation]

A special thank you to you Jaycation for this informative video and to Amanda & Felix Eats for always supporting Jaycation! You guys are the best!❤️

[DominusAnno]

I’ve been the Waikiki 2x the only reason we ate at Cheesecake factory was cos we don’t have it in Australia 😂we did eat at some of the local spots but to keep costs down we mainly had food court food.

[philvie]

Looking forward to my trip to Waikiki in November, thanks for the advice Jay Jay

[okamicookie]

The biggest trap is the Hilton Grand Vacations time share traps like what they’re hawking at the Hilton Hawaiian Village Waikiki Beach! Biggest scam there is.

[laurakibben]

Best place for your wallet (besides back home, lol)....big drink cup (yeti type). No drink but with straw and carried like your drinking from it while wallet is actually in the cup instead 🤣

[jizzle]

But you have to get the McDonald’s Hawaiian breakfast tho!

[latruce]

Nice pronunciation of “Hanauma Bay”, Jay!!
