As a Hawaiian girl born and raised on Oahu, I have to say this guy nailed it! His personality is great too!
Jazmynn Oliveira Thanks so much! Always great to get the approval of a local:)
All the best,
M
Jaz O Love Oahu, been there twice. Hope to call Oahu home one day.
Me too!
You probably took up he’s marriage offer 😜🌺🌴
hello there, you must be a very lucky girl to live at such a beautiful place. Is there any beautiful place to "go" if you are not very flexible / mobile" ? I had an car accident and can not hike anymore =(
As a local, born and raised on Oahu, I gotta say he nailed it.
Maverick Quartero Thanks!! I always love the approval of locals. Means a lot:)
Mahalo!
M
yes is true we love Hawaii we have some video on or channel about Hawaii too 😍
BEST OF HONOLULU, HAWAII - WAIKIKI BEACH - VLOG #1 - 4K DRONE FOOTAGE. ruclips.net/video/Vma70Wp915E/видео.html
Yea, local born and raised Hawaii Kai side. Real great list, I'd have done the same. I would've definitely put Uncle Clay's House Of Pure Aloha, for bomb shave ice tho.
@@MattsTravelTips You are a good young man. Your parents must be so proud of you. And you should be very proud of yourself too.. Respect the NATURE !
Li Wang Thanks!!
We legit followed everything he suggested local to Waikiki - he fucking nailed it. Everything was amazing, AND we loved that he didn't add too much fluff to his recommendations like other videos
I suppose you travelled during Covid-19 period; how was the situation there? Did the pandemic affect your experience negatively in some ways?
Yes he did
@@BlazevicJosip yes it was during Covid between 7/25- 8/2/21 and masks were enforced but we still had the best time ever. Also, my family lives here
I was there 15 yrs ago. I cried when I got there. I'm sending this video to my son ,he's contemplating going to Oahu because of cheap fares because of the Corona virus. I hope I get to go back one day. This video is great!
I get it, but we've only got two cases as of this comment, so....
Tell your silly son to stop being a tightwad and be sensible and wait a while ;) Then go with him. I understand why you cried-- Oahu is unexpectedly fascinating and a lovely lifestyle shock. Stay safe and save, save, save. Have a great day.
Lora Witzel who cares you sheep
I was there in '73 and'74. I had a great time but I couldn't take being landlocked by water all around so I put in for an inter theater transfer and went on my second tour in South Korea. Camp Liberty Bell on the DMZ.
Most importantly respect our culture , land, and ocean. Don't litter and keep a quiet place quiet! With that in mind ALOHA!
Eric Huizar Amen! Totally agree.
Best,
M
Ae kanaka
Yer an idiot Eric - hows that "keep the place quiet" ideology working out for you in Waikiki ? Waikiki is one of the busiest places I've ever been. I guess yer ok with that tho - Hawaiian's just love their Japanese YEN don't they ! Waikiki is little Tokyo - work on keeping it quiet tho you tool......
@@mikeoxlong5843 I'm glad you took the time to type out your ignorant and poorly thought out comment. Maybe next time don't make yourself a fool on the internet. You clearly understood nothing and took everything in an odd direction that makes no sense. Maybe be more mature and actually look past your ignorance and learn something about respect for others and their cultural differences. I'm sorry you are upset at something you don't understand. The worst thing we do as humans is not allow ourselves to learn and appreciate cultures other than our own. Also I'll leave you with some good life advice. Don't go out insulting people without good reason or personal anger because it makes you look very bad. I don't mind mature debates or some criticism on good morals, but you handled this in a very toxic way. I forgive you, but I hope you learn from it. Still with all that said aloha, braddah!
@Jack Meov
Here are some notes for you since I guess your spell check doesn't work:
*You're
*how's
*you're
*though
*Hawaiians (no apostrophe, it's not a possessive noun in this context)
The fact that you listed Waikiki as your one and only example on all of O`ahu already tells us that you don't know what you're talking about and you're probably not from here. I was born and raised here. There are way more tranquil, quiet, beautiful places on this island (as some other comments have mentioned below) that haven't been tainted by the busy and bustling traffic of an overabundance of people. Waikiki is quite busy, but it's still a great city where people can experience the culture of these islands and true aloha spirit. It may be similar to some versions of "little Tokyo" with food options, shops, and population density, but Waikiki is its own city and it was created in its own way. Waikiki may be one of the most popular spots to be for tourists and some locals but the more people there are, the more to share our aloha with, for those who wish to experience it. Other people who only see a busy city and too many people are missing out.
And what do you mean by "Japanese YEN"? We're the 50th state in the United States (unfortunately, sadly, forcefully) so we use American currency. I'm assuming you meant "Hawaiian's" as in all the people who live here but that's not the true meaning of that word. "Hawaiian/Hawaiians" refers to people who have actual Hawaiian in their blood. Citizens of Hawai`i is what I think you meant to say as it refers to those who live here, and I guess the people you meant who supposedly "love their Japanese YEN".
I love that our cities are full of people who want to see these islands and experience what we have here. I'm glad there are videos like this one to show others how beautiful this place is. I hope that if you come back here, you get to experience the true meaning of aloha and feel the love that the people of these islands have for everyone.
I am a Ute woman (Nu'mahmuch) of the Ute Mountain Ute Tribe and I believe when visiting our indigenous brothers and sisters homelands, we as visitors should be respectful to the people (land, culture and traditions) we as visitors should not be ignorant and disrespectful. I hope to sometimes soon visit Hawaii. ❤
Mahalo, thank you, my sister! I hope someday you can visit Oahu.
I am indigenous Tahitian, cousin to my Hawaiian brothers and sisters.
Also add no littering ANYWHERE, wherever you go whether it’s Hawai’i or the mainland, throw your Opala (Trash) Away
I expected you to mention the Polynesian Culture Center. The fact that the performers / guides are college students, from all over the Pacific, who are paid to learn and retain their indigenous culture, makes it more than just a tourist site.
All are students from BYU Hawaii.
@@alicetelford9027 Yes, BYU students come from all over the Pacific. That makes their work at the Polynesian Culture Center a way to pay for college; a way to learn and reenforce their native culture; and a way to make The PPC experience authentic. So, more than just a tourist site. I still wonder that he doesn't mention it.
Advice for tourists: research the major thoroughfares in hawaii. Specifically, find out their names.
Directions in hawaii aren’t given by designation; they’re given by landmarks and names.
For example, you’re not going Westbound on the H-1, you’re going Ewabound (Ewa is a major town that is on the western side of the island)
And it’s not called Route 72, it’s called Kalanianaole highway.
If you ask where “Route 72” is, you’re not going to get an answer.
If you ask where Kalanianaole Highway is, it’s much more helpful.
Can you tell me how to get to kalah-nah-an-oh-le, uhhh, highway? Kailenaihanoile? Kalan highway please!
@@jgizzy lol, wow, I hope that was a joke.
@@jgizzy I mean he has a point. For tourists it can be difficult to pronounce some of those names.
OR you could just use the GPS on your phone... or rental car.
@@tylerirelandnfl I always suggest, if people have trouble pronouncing Hawaiian names, write down ones like this and keep in your car. Then you can show people and ask, how to get here?
This guy is a GOD, I can't believe I spent 20 minutes watching your video without realizing it.
john smith Haha. Thanks so much! And not a god...just a dude with a camera haha. But I’ll take it!
All the best,
M
This was 20 minutes???!!
john smith dear atheists stop calling people God because you don’t believe in any
BTW love your profile pic(Rick and morty)
@@desertmoonlee6631 God is a creator, Matt is a creator, thats how I look at it. Also I believe all Humans are gods, but most don't believe it or know it yet.
Born and raised on Oahu 36 years ago and I thought I was sick of it all but watching this makes me want to take a week off work and live it up according to your tourist guide. Maybe I'll rediscover what everybody from out of town finds.
Love your calm voice, not irritating!!! Love your sense of humor. I think you would be fun to travel with!! Your videos are jam packed with info. I appreciate you!!
Me and my family just got back from Oahu, and we watched this video before going. It really helped us to plan out our trip. We went, or did most of things mentioned in this video. Thank you Matt very much for making this travel guide!! It is the best travel guide for Hawaii (and other places) that we have seen. You are fun to watch, entertaining, and informative, with good humor. Great job!! We told the guys at Ahi Assassins we were there because of your video. They had fantastic Poke and we ended up going there 3 times. We plan to visit Japan next, again using your guide. Do you have a Patreon account so we can donate, and support your work??
would you suggest going through a tour guide or just renting a car?
TheSweetdejavu Oahu is the best island of all Hawaiian island it’s got a bit of everything and without doubt the most beautiful beaches
Priscilla Arteaga I was there for the 4th of July week. I highly recommend renting a car in advanced. That’s what we did. We met some tourist that all they did was tour guides and did not enjoy it at all. They were not allowed to leave the van in some spots. Trust me you will enjoy the island more with a car.
Great footage!
Foodland poke is the best of the best
Stationed here. Thanks for the tips. Cant believe I'm getting paid to live in paradise.
Peace DM
I just watched this just now, and I'll be heading there by July, I was wondering where you would recommend for house hunting. Im a veteran that is a Fed. Employee, that will be assigned there, and being im going to be there I'm going to use my VA too secure a house. I heard the rent is just as high as a mortgage. Any recommendations where to look? I have a 12yearold and a dog.. any advice is much appreciated. SoldiersAttic@Yahoo.com
@@hadenhughes5882 cause you a haole
HOOAH same!!
I got stationed here in 2018. Bought a house and EASing at 10.5 years.. still have only left for work. Love it here.
Just got back yesterday. I’ve never felt such sadness leaving a place. I love Oahu.
I've never taken a vacation on my own. One family vacation at age 14 and I'm 31 now. I'm finally in a good spot to do something big and Hawaii was the first place to come to mind. This video was awesome. I've always wanted to scuba dive. I had no idea how to even start planning such a big trip, but this video is great.
Watching this video from Honolulu. Only took a minute to fall in love this video and this guy! Thank you for the tips.
Grew up and still live on Oahu and with every other travel video about Oahu out there I was sure your was gonna be just like the rest but you did an Amazing job such great tips thanks for doing this video about Oahu
Sunshine Devela Thanks so much! So glad you like the vid! Yeah, I’ve spent a lot of time on Oahu. My mom grew up in Aina Haina. Love Oahu.
Cheers,
M
Sunshine Devela I totally agree, Sunshine! I was pleasantly surprised and it was a great video.
The jellyfish segment made me laugh. As someone who lived on Oahu for 7 years, I too, have to say you nailed this list. Brought back a lot of wonderful memories, too. Mahalo!
Of all the videos I have watched on RUclips about Oahu, this is my favorite. We finally made it to Oahu last year and we’ve visited most of the places Matt mentioned.
This video was so much help for my trip to Oahu. Did almost everything u said! The beaches and the food is amazing
wear reef-safe sunscreen
I just started viewing your vlogs and even though this vlog is 3 years old I still learned a lot about a place I lived with my parents during the 60's and 70's then on my own after college in the mid 70's. I have been going back as a tradition for the last 3 years btwn Christmas and New Years. Seeing friends in Honolulu then New Years with old friends in Kailua Kona / Captain Cook area. Heaven! I enjoy your enthusiasm.
Each video with the views from Hawaii makes my so amazed by its views
I still live here, and I whole heatedly agree, Wiaola's is the best for shave ice. Also one very important tip for all visitors, please please please keep it clean. Put your trash in trash cans and not dump it where ever.
l feel compelled to comment on your wonderful video. The scenery, food and info you gave put a smile on my face. I am planning to move to Oahu in a few months to make a fresh start and thoroughly enjoyed your informative insights and sense of humor. I can finally put my hula lessons to good use! The greatest compliment I can give you is that you remind me of my husband who passed away last year. Thank you!
If there is only one video to watch on Oahu, Matt’s guide is it. Well edited, narrated, and filmed. The 20 minutes flew by and I’m more motivated than ever to get out of the Hotel and explore.
Thanks so much for the wonderful compliment! Much appreciated!
All the best,
M
Born and raised here in Oahu and I’m impressed how good this video was
Thanks so much for all the amazing tips! I watched like 5 times to take down all the notes, and many spots you mentioned also match my friends’ suggestions. Will be in Hawaii in 10 days, can’t wait!!!
I’m on a trip to Oahu right now and this is exactly what I needed! Simple, non-touristy places to visit/eat ❤️ Thank you!!!
baghashvili So glad you’re finding it helpful! Have an amazing trip!!
Cheers,
M
About to travel to Oahu again for the 3th time and i really feel the Aloha.. when u first fall in love with Oahu u will do EVERYTHING to come back to i again 🥲❤
This is by far the best travel guide I 've ever seen! Thank you Matt!
We are in Oahu right now, this video is amazing, our bible to explore! Thank you Matt!
Matt, we used this video to plan our trip to Oahu and it was PERFECT! You're our new travel guide 😁 Thank you for such great content!!!
How many days did u stayed and how much money you spent ? .
@@FranzNaitsab We stayed for 10 days and I'd say we spent between $20-40 per person everyday on food and about 300-400 per person on excursions
Visited Oahu for the first time last October and visited many of the spots you recommend in the video. My wife grew up on Oahu and we will be returning in May with my parents. My dad is a Vietnam veteran and has always wanted to see the Pearl Harbor memorial and I am so excited to be able to take him.
Thanks and Great video!
Lived on Oahu for 3 years as a kid from 89 to 91 when my dad was stationed at Pearl Harbor. Taking the wife to Oahu in December and will hit up many of these spots. Can't wait!!
Heading back to Oahu for the third time next weekend. This is by far THE BEST and comprehensive guide I've seen! Will definitely check out your recommendations I haven't explored. Thanks for this 🙌👍
Atticus Crown So glad you liked the vid! Have a great trip! Happy travels!
Cheers,
M
Atticus Crown same here
Great video Matt! You know, when I talk to someone who's been to Oahu and never left Waikiki I make an involuntary squeaking sound: there is SOOOOOOO much to see and do. Go on a good guided walk into the rainforest for starters, it's so beautiful. Also the Bishop Museum was quiet when we went so we could take our time and really learn-- planetarium teaches about travel and navigation by the stars. Highly recommended.
Hi Matt! We watched this video before our trip to Oahu and followed every single recommendation you provided. We are so thankful to you for sharing this wonderful information!
I am on cloud 9 right now!!!! I’m taking my little one for 4 days and I cannot cannot wait!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I am following this video and your tips step by step!!!
Love it -- lived in Hawaii for almost 8 years. Miss the place like crazy!
30 And A Wake Up I bet! It’s a wonderful place:) Glad you liked the vid!
30 And A Wake Up then why did you leave?
Yeah did you move back to main land ?
Best Oahu vlog I’ve seen yet! Makes me excited to go 😍
Good job, Matt. You certainly know how to make a relevant and pretty interesting video on RUclips. Kudos for you. Hit the nail in the head in all aspects.
Matt, you’re god sent buddy. Thank you so much for this guide.
As an Aussie who's visted Oahu regularly, I feel you have really nailed the highlights for those thinking of visiting. Great content 😎
Selena J Thanks so much! Glad you liked it!
Cheers,

Matt,
Thanks so much for the informative and humorous video. Wasn’t going to go back to Oahu this year because of how touristy it is, but I’m now considering it.
Truly enjoyed your video, it brings back memories while attending college at HPU. Going back after 28 years.
An absolutely incredible video! Thanks for sharing your thoughts and tips. Can't wait to visit this incredible place!
Polynesian Cultural Center in L'aie also north on the island of Oahu.
I recommend it for everyone.
As well as the L'aie Temple Visitors Center.
All of which is beautiful 😍❤🌎
Shania A. I went to the Polynesian cultural center when I went at 7 years old and it was my favorite part of the whole trip

I wouldnt i didnt in the 10 years i lived over there. Missionarys were awful to hawaiin ppl and culture.
so good! I've never been so captivated by a travel vlog this long before! I'm 13 minutes in and just had to pause to comment! So helpful! We have traveled to 30+ countries now so we love watching travel videos to get inspired! Thank you! We are headed to Oahu to visit family in Mililani next month! So excited to eat alllll the foooood now! also, on an editing note, I LOVE your creativity going from the drone shot to the scuba diving underwater- AMAZING IDEA. Keep up the good work!
-Britt
Thank you so much for sharing!! My family and I are planning a trip there this summer and I'm so glad I stumbled on this video. I hope to visit as much of the mentioned places as possible!
By far the best most informative video I have seen on Hawaii. Thank you so much. We leave this Saturday and thanks to you our trip is going to be AMAZING!!!
Wow, the most thorough travel tips ever!!! Just subbed!!
My wife and I recently returned from our honeymoon in Oahu, and we used this video as a "road-map" for much of our stay there. So glad we found this!! Every suggestion was spot on and the food recommendations were simply amazing! We would have never known about Giovanni's Shrimp Truck or the Diamond Head Market & Grill (our two favorite meals there) without this video. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge of the island!
Curtis G. This is the best kind of comment! Makes me feel like what I’m doing is worthwhile. Really means a lot, so thanks! These videos take a lot of effort (and time) to make, so it’s wonderful to know they’re not only appreciated, but helpful. So glad you had a great trip!
All the best,
M
If you ever come back, there's a place called the food company in enchanted lakes. Really good food, and desserts there. Another good place for desserts is the liliha bakery; try the coco puffs🤤
Every restaurant you suggested was amazing! Great video!!!!
This food looks soooo good OMG!!
We just went to Oahu for the first time in February and the Koa Pancake house was our favorite! Those fried potatoes and fluffy pancakes were the perfect breakfast!
Growing Little Ones for Jesus Awesome! Not sure I’ve been there! I’ll have to check it out! Thanks for the tip:)
Cheers,
M
I know this is an old comment but how was the weather in February? I’m thinking about going towards the end of February early march.
@@jacobpowers8958i want to go to Oahu in February, next year😅
Can you give me a feedback about the weather, now? Would apreciate it a lot 😅
Amazing video, I’m actually in the process of interviewing with a recruitment company in Hawaii next week, and this just solidifies my reasons on why I now need to make a positive change and move/work in Hawaii. The people, place and culture is truly epic. Keep up the great vids.
Captivateitmedia So glad you like the vid! Good luck with everything!!
All the best,
M
Amazing Matt! Thank you!
Have always had a passion for Hawaii and lived there for a bit. Planning on moving ‘home’ with my little one some day. This video made me smile. Thank you Matt! Your video was wonderful!
Been getting ready for my first trip to the islands and this has been my favorite video so far. Thanks for all the awesome tips I can't wait to see it all in person!
While I spent 6 weeks on Kauai in 1982, I never spent time on O’ahu. I’m coming in November to meet my birth-father, who has lived there since 1976. Ironically, he was on Kauai when I was there. I found him, and my siblings through DNA testing this year.
Your video gave me a lot of places, to look forward to visiting.
It is the gathering place after all
You did an AMAZING job talking about our wonderful island!!🥰🥰🥰
This is the video I'm looking for for our upcoming trip, kudos to you sir!
Matt, enjoyed your video on Hawaii. My husband, of 55 years, and I have been visiting Hawaii for 32 years. We started going in 1970, and our next trip will be with our whole family, next year. This time we will have three generations! One thing you said that was so important-- get a car and see the extraordinary places that Oahu has to offer. Every island is different and is so beautiful!! We feel like you, Hawaii is our second home!💖🍍🌞
Lana Jackson So glad you liked the video!! Have a wonderful trip!!!
All the best,
M
This video is so helpful!! My husband and I are going to Oahu in a month and are in planning mode. Note, I really appreciate the food suggestions. I really don’t like feeling unprepared with the meals we will eat because it then cuts into the time we could spend on activities when trying to figure out what to eat while on the trip!
Funny & to the point. Probably one of the best RUclips videos I have ever spent my precious time on. Got to learn a lot for my upcoming trip to Hawaii. Thank you!
what a great footage, loved your humor and sense
I watched alot of hawaii videos this year for a trip. You video is by far the best ive seen.
James Gao Thanks so much! I really appreciate it.
Cheers,
M
Any additional places you recommend to visit? :D
I was stationed there from 97-00. To wake up in the 808 State every day was very cool. People save all year to vacation there for two weeks. To live there is a privilege you don't realize you have until you are gone. Although I lived there, I acted like a tourist and got out and enjoyed being there the entire 3 years I was there.
Your video was amazing. Thank you 😊
The best video I have watched about Hawaii for those who want to visit. It has a lot more information and recommended places to visit. Thank you!!!
Matt you're AWESOME! This was extremely enjoyable to watch and very helpful. Seriously, better than anything on the Travel Channel. I subscribed and hit the bell so keep em coming.
ghstwoman yes is true we love Hawaii we have some video on or channel about Hawaii too 😍 BEST OF HONOLULU, HAWAII - WAIKIKI BEACH - VLOG #1 - 4K DRONE FOOTAGE. ruclips.net/video/Vma70Wp915E/видео.html
After spending a week on the big island, we were meant to have a 2 hour layover on Oahu. Our connecting flight was pushed 12 hours so we rented a car and explored the southern portion of the island for the day. It is safe to say that we will defiantly be returning. From the little bit that we saw, we could’ve believe the incredible beauty around every corner. This is a great video, very very well done and helpful!!! Thanks for taking the time to make it! I know it must have been awful to film...
Really great video! Happy to say we've done a lot of the activities you mention in the video in the few trips we've done to Hawaii. Can't wait to head back again some time soon.
best travel guide I;ve seen anywhere. appreciate the titles for every place along with to the point and descriptive narrative. thanks
I subscribe just now. This is what I call an awesome travel guide
PaDa Yang Thanks so much!

Instantly hit like with the great intro. I also would like to live there one day

Coming here for spring break. Extremely excited.

This video makes me wanna cry 😭😭 ill be going to hawaii next month and I'm super excited
How did it go? I am planning a trip as well.
@@Chuckerson100 me too july
Make sure to secure a rental car first. Rates are ridiculous nationwide.
My heart has always loved Oahu! I was blessed to have traveled there when I was young bc my dad worked for Delta. I remember standing at Sunset Beach telling my parents ( at 4 years old) I wanted to live there one day. I am so thankful- my husband and I got engaged there, and now we are traveling there in May! I am beyond excited! Thank you for sharing things awesome video. I thought I knew all about it - but you hit on some new places I haven't explored yet! Thank you again!
Melissa and Richard Jostworth Thanks for the great comment! Love your history with Hawaii:) Have a wonderful trip!!!!
All the best,

I'm so happy that the flea market in Aloha stadium is still here. The last time I was there was 2006 and I got some great stuff.
Wow!!! So helpful!! Thank you for a great video!!!
when I went to Oahu, I liked the malasadas puffs too
I used to live like almost right across the street from sunset beach for most of my life
As a little girl I would always pick up as much trash I could on my amazing land. It’s so important to respect our lands and not to litter. I would always pick up trash I saw someone drop and walk up to them and give them there trash back and point to the trash can. Oahu is a fantastic vacation spot but not the best place to live . I still love and will never forget my childhood of many , many beaches.
I lived in Kailua and heading back in a few weeks after years away.
Maunawili Falls is a nice, fairly easy hike with a waterfall and hardly any people traffic as well.
Excellent video! Thanks!
Just came back from Oahu, spent 5days and your tips helped a lot. Thank You!!
Thanks for the tips. I enjoyed your video
Carmen Dooms Glad you liked it!

Hey Matt, so cool to learn that you spent your summers there. Mark's mum treated us to a trip there in 2009 and we stayed pretty much around Waikiki with a few day trips out to Hanauma Bay and the North Shore. A couple years ago though we house sat for Mark's cousin in Mililani for 2 weeks and really explored the island and the food. It was pure delight. Beautiful job on the video!
Tracy Martin Hi Tracy!!! So good to hear from you! Glad you liked the vid:) Hope all is well!!!! Give mark my best!

and when you live here it’s kinda overrated
we just LOVED Oahu!! The beach , the food , the vibe , the shopping . just amazing . OOh and those malasadas OMG !! I'm dying to go back just to taste those again
Dont you have them in the mainland?
Used to live here. Man do I miss it. The surf boards on bike racks. The diving, the fishing, late night swims
Why’d ya leave
We're going this Sunday. Watching this again. I like your tips and ideas.
Who else is going to Oahu soon and is watching this because they are excited? I’m going next week!
Leave in may
Best review video. ever.

By far the best Hawaii travel tips video!🙌🏼
omg you did a fantastic job and this was absolutely the video I needed to see. I haven't had a vacation in 5 years and now I know EXACTLY where I'm going and what I'm going to do when I get there. Kudos!
