- This weeks video takes us back to Old Koloa Town for a history lesson with one of our subscribers, Jack! He restored Old Koloa Town in the 80's and was gracious enough to meet with us and to provide us with several old photos and newspaper clippings from that time. A special thanks to Jack for the history lesson!

I grew up in Koloa, haven't been back in 30 yrs. Thanks for the videos. Once i find my way out of the land of ice and snow, i will return to see my menehune guide.
Love Koloa
We love Koloa too! Thank you for watching! Aloha~
When we visited last October we visited Old Koloa town twice. Next time we will do a little more history exploring. Beautiful Kauai!
Yes for sure!! Love this lil town so much!
Autumn-Here's an idea for a future video! In keeping with the history theme, how about a video o the history of Wimea Town? Thank you!
Aloha Alvin! Yes!!! I actually want to do this in all the towns....Waimea, Hanapepe, Hanalei, Kapaa, Kīlauea, Lihue!
I feel so much better now that there's still some original stuff. Thanks Jack and Brody
Aloha Scott! We knew you'd be happy to hear that! Mahalo for watching!
Great as always! Time for an uppdate on the new Koloa Village? Thanks!
Aloha Alvin....nothing really to report, it is still just dirt :(
@@OnHawaiiTime Thanks for replying. Construction always seems to take longer than expected! I think one of the only times that construction went faster than expected was repairing part of the Los Angeles Freeway after the Lom Prieta Earthquake.
We LOVE Koloa! Such a nice quiet and quaint little town! What's going on now with the new Village Construction now?
Aloha Alvin! The construction isn't very far along. We'll do another update soon when there's more to show. I can tell you thought that our friends at Chipwrecked (food truck) will have an actual Restaurant at the new village!! We are super excited for them. And we love Koloa too!
@@OnHawaiiTime-Thank you for your reply and update. I went to their website and had a hard time picturing the new proposed changes! I just hope that it does not change Koloa too much! I'm worried the small town could get swallowed up by the development! That would sad if that happens!
I think they are going to try to stay very close to the motif of the rest of Old Koloa Town. We are hoping it maintains the charm too
Sorry, I'm a bit late as I just found this video! I just love going to and seeing Old Koloa Town! Please keep us updated on Koloa! Thank you!
Will do!
Yes, we love to learn more about Kauai. We were on our way to Kauai when Hurricane Iniki hit. so we had to go to Maui. A year later we went to Kauai and people where still living in tents. But you know that was one of the best trips ever. Locals where so happy that tourist came back. We will always come back:)
Thank you so much for watching! We love learning everything we can about this beautiful island. And I think sometimes Kauai needs a lil reminder of how important the visitors truly are to our economy. Hopefully we don't have to experience another disaster like Iniki though. Aloha~
Love this style of video. Super informative (as always), great questions and even better insight.
Thank you for watching Ashley! We had a lot of fun making this video. Loved going through the old photos!! Koloa has changed so much since then.
Always a pleasure watching you guys do your thing 🤙
Thank you for watching Tony!!
Love the video, Aloha from Cali. I remember Surf & Cycle, used to go there to buy wax for the surfboard(strawberry flavored), long sleeve shirts and get my hair cut from that barber shop when I was a lot younger, thanks for sharing. Mahalo!!!
That is so cool!! I bet it was a trip to see those old photographs for you then. Jack gave us so many cool photos. I couldn't include them all but who knows. Maybe we'll end up with another Koloa town video in the future when the new section is complete and we can include a few more. Thank you for watching!
We have driven through Old Koloa Town several times going to and from other places, but have not stopped due to heavy traffic. Your video inspires us to get there early in the morning next time we visit Kauai, and check out the history of such an amazing place! Thank you for putting these videos up for all of us! You guys are doing a wonderful job of bringing the beauty of Kauai to your subscribers!
Aloha Brenda! Yes, next time you'll have to stop and take a stroll around Koloa. It really is such a cool town!! Thank you so much for watching and for your kind words and positive feedback. We really do appreciate it because it does take a lot of time and effort to put out these vides on top of our regular jobs and the business. We love doing this for all of you so much!!
Aloha guys just wanted to say thank you for all the videos they're amazing! Me and my wife are here in Kauai now,watching all the videos encouraged us to come so thank you again so much for all the hard work you put in! Aloha!
Aloha Tony! We are so happy to hear that our videos inspired you to visit Kauai! Thank you for watching and for the positive feedback. It really means a lot to us to hear that our OHT ohana appreciates the hard work we pour into all our videos. Stay tuned for more and don't forget to RELAX AND UNWIND...You're On Hawaii Time!! ;)
Hey Guys, thanks for doing the update video. I really enjoyed meeting you and revisiting the work we did in Koloa. Its hard to believe it was over 35 years ago. I cant help but wonder if there might be a few people who remember me from back then that are thinking look how old he is now. lol
Jack we can't thank you enough for taking time out of your vacation to spend with us and for giving us all the old photos and newspaper clippings. I had so much fun going through all of them and trying to picture what it was like before. We just love the charm of Old Koloa Town and knowing some of those building have been standing for a very very long time makes us love it even more :) Haha...we'll see if we get any comments from people that remember you from back in the day! Be sure to keep in touch. Aloha!
Cool I never realized it was renovated it all looks old to me 😂😂
Well I suppose the 80's was a while ago....haha!
Ps we were also looking to commemorate our trip with a tattoo and was wondering if you had any recommendations on shops on the island?
Brodi has all his work done at Farsyde Tattoo in Puhi...right next to Lihue. Check out their instagram to see if there are any artists that might offer what you are looking for. Perhaps "relax and unwind" as a reminder...haha!
