Arabic..pls...😡
I Love you 💖😘😘😘😘
Oahu looks like a tree stump. Like the lave forest, just much bigger. Beautiful place.
Just saying but I would also say that Oahu is also a place where people remember the victims of the infamous Pearl Harbor Attack
My Oahu, the place I was born 70 years ago, is so long gone I sometimes wonder if it ever existed 💔 This …. it crushes my soul.
You literally would never wanna leave this island after visiting. Great people, cultural, and energy! An ENTIRE vibe.
Oahu is the most beautiful of the other islands in my opinion. The most vibrant
Aloha Aina. My body and face are haole but, my heart and mind are Hawai'ian. I grew up on the Island of Oahu from the age of 9, and returned to the mainland when I was 21. Some of the places I lived were Ala Moana, Kaneohe, and Kailua. I attended Royal School, Robert Lewis Stevenson Junior High, Kailua High, and Hawaii Baptist Academy. Did some sailing and snorkeling in Kailua Bay, and plenty of surfing virtually everywhere, especially Ala Moana, down to Queen's and Black Point Diamond Head. And the North Shore during Winter Break. This was all "Long Board surfing" ( Joe Quigg with a reverse skeg). My Dad was a body surfer there during WWII, under the tutelage of Duke Kahanamoku. I miss the Aloha way of Life there but, I carry it and practice it everywhere I go and live. I'm 77 years of age but still feel like 17-21. E Malama Pono! 🙏🌺🏄🌈👍😃
Sitting on my bed in Waikiki while watching this video and enjoying a Hawaiian dinner🌴🌺🙏🏻✨
I lived on Oahu for 5 years, I miss it so much. Sometimes it feels like it was all a dream. I still say "Howsit", though.
From One Island to another Island, Aloha" from Puerto Rico. Many Love, and Blessings to all.
Nearly 10% of Hawaii's population today is Hispanic/Latino. Many of the Hispanics/Latinos today in Hawai'i are the descendants of Puerto Ricans who arrived here around 1900. Mahalo!
My beloved father was Chinese American, born and raised in Honolulu, in the largely Chinese neighborhood of Kaimuki. He and Mom adopted my sister and me (as infants) because they couldn't have biological children of their own. Dad was the youngest of 7 children, 5 boys and 2 girls, and he was born in 1928, before Hawaii became an American State. I still have his original birth certificate!! My sister and I have many family members, most of whom still live on the Hawaiian Islands, mainly in Honolulu. Dad passed away in 2013, at the age of 84, and it was his wish to have a Hawaiian outrigger canoe row his ashes out, a little beyond the breakers on Waikiki and pour his ashes into the ocean below Diamond Head. That is exactly what we did for Dad. I hope he knows that his wishes were, indeed, granted. I can't wait to see that good man again. I love you, Dad!!
That’s adorable!
I spent a week in Oahu nearly 30 years ago. Thank you for bringing back some very happy memories of this beautiful island 😊
There is nothing that I need more than to see this place with my own two eyes.
I miss Hawaii just back a week ago! Beautiful paradise
Born and raised in Hawaii living there for 15 years and moving this year I loved every second of it and it is such a peaceful beautiful place my family had to move out because it was too expensive and not the best options for college and we wanted to be able to go other places and not be stuck on an island. I still love hawaii and will miss it dearly
The Islands are magical.
Paradise on Earth and the true Aloha Spirit. Beautiful!!!!!!!
I adore Hawaii, beautiful place, beautiful people
Palaces, ice creams and flowers...Oahu has everything...for somebody to have a good life 🙂😊
Looks amazing I need experience Hawaii absolutely 🤗❤️❤️🥰
Love Oahu. Lived there as a kid and have visited many times since. It is my second home, my happiest of happy place. Paradise.
Hawai is heaven on earth. I was lucky enough to move there in 1969 to attend university of Hawaii. lived in Honolulu at foot of Punchbowl
Home to the best surfers because Hawaii created the sport of surfing
I’m going to Oahu in two months in 2 months with my son. We’re super excited & counting the days. We’ve been watching videos nonstop and taking notes on what to do and what NOT TO DO to respect the island and the locals.
Much ♥️ From Houston, TX
Hope you have a wonderful holiday. I am green with envy.. Looks like such a lovely place. Much love from South Africa. 🤗
Kailua Beach should be on your list. Your welcome!
Safe trip!
As a native from here, being humble and respectful will make your experience here a great one.
I just left Oahu it was nice but I like the big island better it was more Iike what I thought Hawaii would look like. Oahu looks like Miami
lived there for 15+ years, moved to the mainland...
can't wait to return after my travels , Hale sweet Hale~
Lived on O'ahu for 18 years. Visited the other islands frequently. My work took me away eventually but I still think of it as my home.
*Guys, I just want to say that I wish you all the best, you deserve it, never give up!*
O'Ahu is a precious paradise on Earth. Friendly people, delicious food, and many natural attractions. A real lifetime trip!
Beautiful....I will visit Hawaii soon.
👍💁🌹🙅
I love Hawaii and its culture. I’ve visited Oahu a few times but went to Maui for the first time this year and felt like it was an island made for tourists, though still beautiful. Resorts were everywhere and I didn’t really feel like I was in Hawaii, I compared it to being in Cape Cod. I love Oahu and its people. Visiting it has really changed my perspective and increase my respect for people in general and the world we live on. Sadly, I feel many investors and corporations are trying to take over the island that should be left to them.
Try big island it’s where people love
Hmm Michelle
I was stationed on Oahu in the 90's and loved it, went back in 2012 and felt like it was way too crowded, Enjoyed Maui way more, I felt Maui had way more open space, granted there were many hotels around but not near the amount of people Oahu has....
@@nancyhanson5620
Stay away from my island’s tourists make our lifestyle hard think cause you spent a chunk of money do us no good
You are so beautiful honey
Lived in Aiea, just outside of Honolulu in the early 80’s. Absolute best time of my life. One of my daughters was born at Queens Med Center. Would love to live there again, but couldn’t afford to. However, prices are getting so bad on the mainland that we could probably do as well there as here. lol
I spent 3 months in Oahu and Big Island for my business tour before 13 years I love Hawaii....from Japan.
yes Hawaiians are so generous and kind!!! Love Oahu so beautiful!!!!!!
Hawaii is very nice
Felt more freedom there than most travels
What?
What does that mean?
@@robertcronin6603 so you know what freedom is
You must have not went shopping with your sisters
@@Iplayforhim16 do not travel with my sisters they have husbands
Lucky I live Hawaii! ❤️🌺🦋🌴🌈🌊
Love Hawaii because it is very Beautiful Paradise ❤️
the beauty is breathtaking literally bringing me to tears several times
that body surfer woman is just downright beautiful..my gosh??
Nothing like the most Haole sounding Anglo accented Bruddah explain to me the Heart & Soul of Hawaii Nei. 😆🤙🏼
I love all his misprouncments. I am half hawaiian but have lived in Indiana all my life, so I always sound funny when I run into true hawaiians.
Pretty sure it's an AI bot. Even the dumbest British person should know the King's name isn't pronounced "Kommy-Ha-Ha".
She’s gorgeous!!
ALOHA 🐢 🌺 🏝
I ❤ HAWAII
I noticed mispronounced names as well, however, this was the most culturally inclusive
documentary (of Hawaii)I have ever seen. I visited Oahu several years ago and although I loved it then, this showed me what I missed!
There is a movie on RUclips called “ Liliuokalani “ nice history start . I think it shows the true nature of the amazing people…
Was blessed to have lived there in late 78 to 83 . Hawaii no ka oi, Aloha.
Just moved from Hawaii to Utah and damn small kine homesick. See you soon Hawaii
Thank you universe ❤️❤️
Thank you money 💰💰
Thank you nature
Thank you all
Amazing 👏
As always thank you Free Doco😷🤙🙏
I lived in Oahu for one year and I really missed that place😉
“Aloha “Paradise ❤️🌸🌺🌴
Hello 👋.. Happy 😃 Sunday, how are you doing today?
I ordered a lei from Cindy's for my wife as a Valentine's Day gift. I live in Tx, and because of Covid, I received it a day late. The lei broke the every year thing of buying flowers. My wife loved the lei. The smell of it made us miss being in HI.
Hawaiian islands one of the most beautiful on the planet. Thanks for sharing. Truly enjoyed fantastic place living and vacations
just BEAUTIFUL! HAWAII YOU HAVE MY HEART!💖💖💜
I miss Hawaii and its beautiful ALOHA people, it's been decades. My favourite place was the backyard of Dolly Partens home there. What breathtaking views and the whole island feels air-conditioned with the sweet smell of the ocean, not at all like the fishy smell of Long Island. That was where I loved to paint sitting on the lawn of her backyard facing the ocean. My gorgeous grand daughter was born there. I love and miss her and her beautiful mom. So glad I got to see her mom recently. I never knew there were so many variations of human skin colours from very white Japanese to the coal black of some Tahitians a kaleidoscope of beautiful people. If you want to see different races, and all at peace and love then you haven't been in a Kingdom Hall in Hawaii. Aloha my Brothers and Sisters.
Hello 👋.. Happy 😃 Sunday, how are you doing today?
I just love to watch documentaries! !
More the better in future.
Thank you.
Aloha Your video was great and informative. Thanks.
THIS IS THE KINGDOM OF HAWAII
Mi sueño es algún día viajar a Hawaii, es bello
Waikiki will always be my home 💙
Diamond head
The mountain views in your video are beautiful. I drive by here all the time n am so grateful to see it.
20 years ago this month I tried my hand at fulfilling my dream of living in Hawaii, Lived on Oahu in Pupukea. Didn't last long, mostly due to the cost to live there. But I wouldn't trade the experience for anything. Oahu, North Shore specifically will always be my favorite, but Molokai is right up there. Molokai is an overlooked gem that shouldn't be missed.
North shore right on 🤙🏼
I agreed totally. I lived N.S.Sunset area and Pupukea(Ke'iki Rd,now Bungalows)
I was blessed to lived N.S. late 60s-70s(got married on the beach , as years later i.ter our daughters did.)
I regret leaving more than any "profe$$ional move" I ever made.
My will places my ashes off Ke Iki Beach by my children, I will be a Hawaiian beach forever.
Listen if you visit, maybe I will sing for the sea.
Aloha
🤙🌺
It’s a sacred place with a lot of spiritual energy and magical vibes. Found a few sunrise shells in my time there. Wish I had come across a menehune though!
Wow, it is very beautiful and peaceful. 😍😍! Great Documentary Channel as always.
This is so lovely. nature is perfectly designed by the God the creator.
unmm i'm pretty sure volcanic activity was the big player here
Hurray! I was here first!
Hooray for you😁
Loved being stationed there for a few years. No one wanted to leave and many came back to retire- I miss Musubi every day.
Thank you for your service.
O'Ahu is a very special sacred place with a lot of cultural history and a bit of a stronghold on the economics of the archipelago, but I would not call it the epicenter of Hawaiian culture nor its heart and soul. Its in many ways the heart of the destruction of Hawaiian soul and culture as so many native Hawaiians have lost their physical and ancestral homes to the spread of mass tourism and the take-over of land by big resorts leading to natives who can no longer afford to live here and would rather be homeless than to leave. It was my home for most of my life, but its unlikely I could ever afford to live here again. I feel such sorrow for those who are lost and for those who come and only experience it in the primarily superficial way that they do. It is so much more and being destroyed everyday. Please learn to pronounce our names correctly. Aloha
Oahu is called "The Gathering Place" by ancient Hawaiians for a reason and the Ali'is did choose to live here instead of the other islands. The Bishop Estate is the largest private land owner in the state and one of the richest in the US with 5 Trustees each making almost a million $ a year. The Office of Hawaiian Affairs is also incredibly wel-funded to handle native Hawaiians issues. The Kamehameha School is one of the most well-endowed private schools in the US that is 100% free to those of Hawaiian blood. (It's their management, leadership, and yes, fault that native Hawaiians are being spaced out due to affordability.) Of all the Polynesian cultures proliferating throughout the world, the Hawaiian hula has become the strongest, most enriched and creative dance form as seen in the annual Merrie Monarch Festivals. Compared that to other parts of Polynesia, either left on their own, or taken over by other past empires like France, Spain, or England, you can see that their art, culture, people, and economy didn't progress nearly as well as Hawai'i with the US. Do they even have established and well-known star-navigation society like the Hokulea even though that was how ALL of Polynesia used to travel? How about Tahiti, Fiji, and New Zealand for examples. None of those have nearly the wealth of cultural troops and creative content like Hawai'i does here. Without American ideas, promotion, and ways of doing things, would Hawai'i still become this culturally, powerfully, and financially rich itsy bitsy piece of land in the vast Pacific, or would it have become just another, um, Kiribati? 😉
Where is Ariel Sellers ,? If they so rich why didn't help her parents find a home instead take their children away now the foster parents says she went missing ? This child was abused , by the Foster parent that just adopted in February , why did the police only look for 1 week , human trafficking is going on there , No more the world eyes are now on Oahu Waimanois
Oahu is the heart & soul location of the colonizers’ insidiousness & extortion... even to this day.
The number one thing you could care is about your children
@@pohanahawaii who told you it was free? School wasn't free
The only nicer place I've been on vacation than Oahu was a trip to Maui. Hawaii is absolutely incredible, but far too expensive for the average person. And even despite the high costs, the population just keeps rising and rising, and it's more built up over time. Everyone wants a piece of what are very small, finite islands.
You think that's expensive don't go to New York!
@@zigmeisterxiv hawaii is more expensive
@@handledav no way ...
@@zigmeisterxiv they are pretty much equal dude. Though the reasons are different. For example we cannot have certain goods delivered directly here. It has to go to Cali prior and then here upping the price such as milk for $10 on average.
Try out Fiji.. It's A World of Paradise...
I’m so glad TMH is giving the land back to the Original ‘Peoples!’ APTTMHAH🙏🏾🙏🏾
It was so exciting, so close to nature.
Beautiful great destination for healthy lifestyle
I miss home. Kaneohe and Waipahu. 🤙🏾
It has beauty, weather’s perfect but costly!
8:30 What she said is beautiful and heartwarming. 🌼
Hi 👋 friend 💖🌹
I miss you 🤗😍
I am Pakistan 🇵🇰
WhatsApp number send me
Yes it was moving ..people who master their craft and have heart they talk like this
Beautiful and Colourful Environment...😊love it...😍i'm from sri lanka.
Those big waves are amazing.... Seen it in the movie "point break ".
Beautiful , Beautiful ❤️.
very informative. It helped me a lot.
Jus got back from Waikiki yesterday, so beautiful
My Kaikamahanie , Larae , and Ohana live in Kaneohe Oahu. She works at the Kualoa Ranch.
I'm planning to move there in a few months.
Thank you for this great video
Ty for sharing these pictures of Oahu. Though I lived there for many years, you featured aerial views that I have not seen.
O'ahu near perfection, and perhaps Maui nō ka 'oi, BUT Moloka'i mo' betta' ;) ALOHA!!!
Spent about a month on vacation in Oahu this past August/ September was truly an amazing experience! Though it is small island even after visiting for a month there is still things I didn't get to see or do and wish to make another trip there to do those things. Best tip I can give to someone visiting is to rent a car to explore island and is really is best way to get to see the most from this island and can be much cheaper than paying for random tours. Also I am pretty sure that diving girl is famous now for her work with some massive great whites there (if is same person, then happy for her)!
Been living on Oahu since Jan 2014, tbh it gets old but is always beautiful. Still here though lol
Love Oahu. Lived there 5 years, and I would love to return there. Thanks for the video. Hope to see other islands.
I really enjoyed watching the video... And I learned a few new things about Hawaii and the rich culture...
.
I look forward watching other videos you make and narrate.
This place sounds like a wonderful place to visit. The peoples are very similar to my Caribbean peoples.
I’m from Hawaii. I would totally agree. I still remember my first trip to Caribbean and how amazed I was at how similar we are. Pure Islanders
Hello 👋.. Happy 😃 Sunday, how are you doing today?
Best thing i watched all week
Someday I would like to visit Hawaii. Thank you.
i LOVE THE COUNTRY OF HAWAII
Hermoso documental, ilustra cada una de las maravillas que uno vive en esta isla y sus actividades. Muy bien realizado. Me encanto!!!
What language is this
Moving to Oahu in 6 months 🤙 to experience nature and enjoy life.
Can't wait!
I was born and raised in the Island of Puerto Rico, lived in New York City for nearly 30 years.
Traveled to Hawaii many times for work, have family there and landed a great job in Oahu.
Why moving to Hawaii.? Family, culture, it's people, vibe, music, weather and beautiful landscape.
@Falo - Puerto Rico has high crime, poor economy, corruption and a trail of natural disasters. Just last year PR had 606 murders versus 48 for Hawaii.
@Falo - I'm a proud Puertorican... and Puerto Rico will always be in my heart.
Moving to Hawaii is a safety and health choice.
Loved living there love visiting
This was a great documentary!!!!
Beautifull and mesmerizing. Loved watching.
This documentary hit me right in the feels. I was just on Oahu from 27 Aug to 30 Aug and on Maui from 30 Aug to 4 Sept. Such a magnificent experience, I miss it.
🤣
That’s racist
M😮st of the food I get 😊n the big island is harvested from mauka to makai, or bardered or we share n give, some items off course is purchased, our meats,seafoods,veggies come from da aina, n kai
