I’ve been watching your videos to prepare for our upcoming trip in May. Can you do a quick updates of the island? As far as increasing tourists, what’s open, how to handle reservations, cars and everything we need to know comes May! Love the little guy!!

First time there soon with the family, I don’t get tired of all your videos, soon I have to start doing reservations for tours, Pearl Harbor etc... butterflies in my stomach just to think about it.
Hawaii is one of those destinations you dream about it thinking you’ll never be there😅, plus first time for my 11 years old daughter to travel by plane and my 1 year old. Leaving the cold weather of Wisconsin for Hawaii is going to be epic.

We just came back from our 13 day vacation to Oahu the Big Island. We have continuously watched your videos, purchased your guides, etc. All of your information made our planning so easy.

I'm finally going to get serious to plan for a vacay to Hawaii next Spring/Summer. If it weren't for the pandemic, I would've gone there already. Thanks for sharing!

[JB-hcox]

Can’t WAIT to visit for the 3rd time. What a great vacation! Not many people know how beautiful it is.

I love you guys and your videos! I live in Oahu for 38 years and you inspire me to get out more and explore all the islands

Kuhio Park Terrace is a must see! #1 on top places to visit on Oahu.

Thank YOU for sharing!!❤️

I've been watching these videos because my husband and I have been considering moving to Hawaii since some of our family lives there now. These videos have been super helpful and informative! 😁👍🏻🌴🌅✨

If you like hiking, Oahu is also amazing. There are dozens of trails with waterfalls, craters or ridges.
