Hi I've only recently discovered your channel and I have to say I'm loving it. I am from Iran and a new subscriber of your channel. I'm very happy to watch this video, thanks very much for sharing this beautiful video. 👍❤❤

My wife and I purchased and used their guide for Oahu back in April of this year. It was honestly fantastic. On our future trips to Hawaii we plan to purchase their other guides as well. Just wanted to say it was worth it and it helped us, if anyone was on the fence.

Thank you Erica and Jordan for these wonderful videos. I am heading back to my home away from home at the end of September with my fiancé and her two kids college age. I have been so blessed to be able to visit Hawaii at least 15 times since I was 8yo, turning 54 this year. Anyhow just purchased your O’ahu travel guide. Can’t wait, thank you again

Cool video, don’t forget to let people know not to touch the monk seals and Honu’s resting on the beaches. Mahalos

There's a reason Oahu is known as The Gathering Place, as it offers so much to attract- and keep- the attention of locals and tourists alike. ... Oahu is primarily defined by the state capital of Honolulu, Pearl Harbor, and the world-famous Waikiki Beach. These areas host thousands of tourists daily.

You guys are really awesome! I’m heading down for 2 weeks Kauai/Oahu with my two little girls! Your tips for families help a lot!

[michaelnino]

[MrZRACER]

family is going in 2 months so I figured I need to start watching some tips videos, especially ones updated to pandemic times. flight will be from the dc area.

[jeffreyjones]

Great tips! Many of these we didn't do and definitely will if we get back. Planning a 2 week Maui/Kauai next year. 2 things we did on Oahu that I would recommend: 1) the Polynesian Cultural Center including the Luau and show after (Ha- Breath of Life) and 2) Dolphin Excursions. I'm not a city guy, but think we may have missed out some by avoiding Honolulu. We went to Leonard's and Pearl Harbor and the water fall hike, but watching your video, my mouth was watering and should have embraced the crowds for Waikiki. Thx again.

You videos are the best and I really enjoy your positive vibes and knowledge!

[minasalas]

You guys are great. Thank you so much for these great tips. You make it easy. Can’t wait to visit Hawaii soon
