Hawaii! Here I come!
I finally realized my dream and traveled to Hawaii. The beautiful scenery and atmosphere here are simply amazing and left me in awe.
I took a morning flight to Hawaii and it welcomed me with open arms, putting me in a great mood. The temperature in Hawaii is warm, which makes me feel like I'm saying goodbye to the cold. When I arrived at the hotel, the warm welcome I received was unbelievable. The gorgeous flower lei and wonderful music made me feel like an important VIP.
During my stay, I visited every corner of the island of Hawaii. I went to the famous Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head. When I stood at the top of the mountain, I was surrounded by beautiful scenery, and a peaceful feeling made me feel very comfortable. I also went to the Big Island and saw active volcanoes and colorful coral reefs, which left a deep impression on me.
I also tried the local cuisine, and my favorites are Hawaiian barbecue and lobster. I learned to enjoy traditional Hawaiian beach walks, listening to the waves crashing on the shore and smelling the summer scent of the sea. It's an incredible feeling.
I truly love Hawaii, where there are beautiful natural landscapes, delicious food, and friendly people. This trip was the happiest time of my life, and I look forward to coming back here one day, exploring this wonderful place like a child once again.

Honolulu, capital of Hawaii.
Honolulu, on the island of Oahu’s south shore, is the capital of Hawaii and gateway to the U.S. island chain on the Pacific. Been there four times already and still will go
because there are so many attractions to explore as well as the other islands. A must to visit is the Pearl Harbour USS Arizona Memorial, the famous Waikiki Beach, known for its popular surf beach. Very vibrant dotted with hotels, fashion stores, fine dining and cocktail bars. Also recommended is The Volcanic Crater, known as Diamond Head is a popular hiking destination with panoramic views of Waikiki and Oahu’s south shore. The Polynesian Cultural Centre is also an eye opener as well as the Kualoa Ranch, the filming location of over 70 movies produced out of Hollywood, most famously known for the Jurassic Park series.

The Sunrise Shack – Haleiwa, Hawaii
We can’t get enough of this sunshine yellow coffee and snack bar. If you think the landscape is stunning in Hawaii you’ll be even more taken as soon as you walk in here. The cafe is a sensory overload, with colours bursting from every angle.

Hawaiian Aroma Caffe – Honolulu, Hawaii
There’s four locations in Honolulu, but our fave is the Ohana East cafe, with its multi-coloured staircase. The interior has vivid acai and poke bowls, fresh plants and rustic wooden seating. Easily one of the most Instagrammable cafes in America!

The Surfjack Hotel & Swim Club’s Olive & Oliv
Olive and Oliver is a fun lifestyle brand all about authentic beach culture in Hawaii, and their space in the Surfjack Hotel has a stunning cafe. The pineapple takeaway cups and pineapple-design coffee bar sum up the aesthetic here: tropical and oh-so ‘grammable.

Three must do things in Oahu.
1- Surf at Waikiki Beach. This is a great spot for beginners to learn to surf. The waves are gentle and make it easy to learn how to stand up on your board. It’s also a great place to watch the sunset.
2- Hike Diamond Head. Diamond Head is an extinct volcanic crater with some of the best views of the island. It’s a reality rly easy hike which can take around 1-2 hours, depending on how many times you stop to take photos.
3- Walking around Lanikai Beach. This is one of the most breathtaking beaches I’ve seen. Directly in front of the beach is a small island that you are able to be boated out to. It really makes you feel like you are truly in paradise.

Hawaii is more than a romantic location. if you are seeking adventure then Hawaii is truly a place for you! The scenery in Hawaii is something out of a movie! It's lush, green and beautiful!
One of the most popular hikes is called Stairway to Heaven. You can hike to the top using the back route. The only issue is that it takes about 4-6 hours to do it but it is perfectly legal. Trying to hike mountain using the stairs is actually illegal and there is police in the area looking out for tourists trying to do this hike. You could be fined up to $1000 as well. So be careful and have fun!

This is a view of what I like to call "natures versaclimber" -- it's challenging but a great workout and the view is incredible! Check out Koko Crater hike on Oahu! (aka Kokohead) #train #hawaii #hike #beautiful

Oahu has always been one of the top dive sites in the world -- we were lucky enough to catch a swarm of sharks that were curious but friendly. #diving #scubadiving #freediving

I can't wait to get back to Hawaii for a new years vacation -- last time we went we took a quick flight over sacred falls (closed for hiking but amazing from the sky!) #hawaii #livehi #sacredfalls #seeyourcity

Oahu, HI - I was born on the island of Oahu and I moved to Washington state when I was in high school. I recently took a trip home. The first two photos are very sentimental to me, (Waikiki, HI.) I grew up in a big family, my step father had 7 kids and my mom had 3 of us. When we were all kids/teens, our parents used to take us to this drive in theater every Friday night. We used to bring blankets and snacks and sit on the beach, watching fireworks and then a movie. The third is a photo of a little island called Mokoli’i, meaning “small lizard”, but also known as “Chinaman’s Hat” where I would spend majority of my time hiking, or diving. Fourth photo is from one of my favorite hikes on a mountain called Makapu’u, meaning “bulging eye.” I would hike Makapu’u at least once a week to catch a sunrise. The last photo is where I grew up, Kahalu’u. The mountains behind me are called Ko’olau, meaning windward, as in the windward side of the island. Everyone who visits Oahu will usually talk about all the good things they’ve seen, but no one ever talks about the not so good places. Hawaii is a beautiful state and it truly is paradise, although it does have it’s messed up parts. Thank you for letting me share a little bit about my home.. I hope y’all enjoy 😊

4 East is the star beach of Oahu, Kalua Beach Kailua beach and Lanikai Beach. Lanikai Beach and the beaches of Seychelles and Maldives are considered to be the top 10 beaches in the world.
Public transport
Ouhu Island's bus system is relatively developed. If you don't drive by yourself, you can get it by bus. However, the interval between each bus will be a bit long, you can also consider chartered;
Hall Island Touring Car
Trip has a one-day tour charter, or you can directly find a local chartered car, here is a strong recommendation to everyone: Custom Island Tours!
The boss is called Carey. He is also one of the drivers. Our driver is him. The boss, who has been a navy for seven years in Hawaii, has lived in the local area for many years. He can be said that he is a local pass. He knows everything. During the driving process, he will introduce you to the history, geography and legends of Hawaii. interesting! Their company will provide mature itinerary routes, you can directly choose the route they have ordered, of course, you can also make your own (such as us), after sending the route to them, they will advise you on the route you have made, for example, the same day. Carey took us to a beach that only locals know, and recommended a super delicious shrimp restaurant opened by Taiwanese people...
accommodation recommended
the ilima we stayed in Hotel, although not a tall sea view room, but the price is still quite high: 1) clean, 2) comfortable, 3) the room is big enough, 4) complete kitchen and bathroom facilities, 5) everything around the supermarket, shop, 6) The price is also the range we can afford. What else is picky?
Food checkup
Red Lobster! Here is the top lobster shop in Oahu! We chose a 2 lb. steamed lobster set.
The waitress was very enthusiastic. When helping us process the lobster, she told us that the prawns came from the Atlantic Ocean in the southern United States. Forget it, the price is not expensive because of imports, and the price of San Francisco's lobster, and surely the tax rate in Hawaii is very low! Recommend it!
Fiorelady.
Driving a few miles, even if you can't catch up with Ole, you can't catch up with the beach to see the fireworks, it's worth to eat the shrimp.
The day before at the Gulani Ranch, a Chinese staff recommended this Fumi seafood. At the beginning, we were suspicious and did not go specifically. After coming out of the Bonicia Cultural Center, we decided to drive a few miles. Look, since it is here, you should not miss it.
Navigation is indeed Fumi, but only open at noon, the guys in the store let us go to the restaurant one kilometer away to eat, the original night market opened in the roadside stall, so cool?
Fumi's shrimps are all farmed, so it is very fresh and delicious. It looks like a fast food. In fact, it tastes better than a fine restaurant. It has spicy and not spicy choices. We bought garlic and it is delicious. Even the rice is fragrant, the vegetables on the side are canned corn, sweet, the fruit is pineapple, and the daughter eats both corn and pineapple.
? I am also embarrassed, but unfortunately I can't eat it!
vivian.ting.
Oahu is a great car! If you are fast, you can get around the island in one day, but if you don't want to leave Waikiki Beach too far, you can go to the East China Sea for a lap of up to 2 to 3 hours. The shore of the East China Sea is the most popular tourist route on Oahu Island, with beautiful views of the cliffs of the sea and the waves. There are also countless observation platforms along the road, and each observation deck has beautiful natural scenery. There are also many beaches along the way, free beaches are available for a fee, and of course most are free.
Some visitors don't like the excitement of Waikiki Beach, they choose to drive to the farther beaches and enjoy the priority island holidays.
Makapuu Beach Park is located at the eastern end of Oahu, belonging to the Windward Coast and adjacent to Sea Life Park Hawaii. There is also a church next to it. I heard that many people choose to take wedding photos here or hold a simple beach wedding.

🔥What Time Is It? The Golden Hour in Hawaii (AKA, Pure Magic)🔥
#alohaspirit
If there’s one thing Hawaii does better than its beaches, mountains, or even poke bowls, it’s the golden hour. When the sun dips low, painting the sky in fiery hues of orange, pink, and gold, Hawaii transforms into a living postcard. Here’s why chasing the golden hour in Hawaii is an absolute must:
1. Sunsets on Waikiki Beach, Oahu
Waikiki Beach during golden hour is like a masterpiece in motion. The sun melts into the ocean as surfers catch their final waves of the day, silhouetted against a glowing sky. Add a few palm trees swaying in the breeze, and you’ve got yourself a scene so cinematic it practically demands a slow clap.
2. Haleakalā Crater, Maui
Sure, the Haleakalā sunrise gets all the attention, but golden hour here is equally jaw-dropping. As the sun sets, the crater’s rocky terrain shifts to vibrant red and gold tones. At 10,000 feet above sea level, you’ll feel like you’re standing on top of the world—and who doesn’t want that?
3. Na Pali Coast, Kauai
Golden hour along the Na Pali Coast is a showstopper. Whether you’re hiking, sailing, or just staring slack-jawed from a lookout, the cliffs light up like they’re auditioning for a nature documentary. Pro tip: Bring a camera because your phone won’t do this justice.
Hawaii’s golden hour isn’t just a time of day—it’s a vibe. Don’t miss it, or you’ll be stuck dreaming about it until your next trip!

And they’re not just along the beaches; you’ll find them lining the valleys, making you feel like you’re walking through a tropical dream. Get ready to pinch yourself.
3. Maui’s Road to Hana
The Road to Hana isn’t just a road trip; it’s a palm lover’s paradise. As you wind through rainforests, you’ll pass countless waterfalls, lush landscapes, and towering palm trees. It’s a bit of a hidden gem, and every palm-lined turn will have you saying, “Is this real life?”
So, get ready to bask in the shade of some seriously gorgeous palms. Hawaii is calling, and it’s palm-tastic!

Rise and Shine: Top 3 Sunrise Spots in Hawaii (Your Alarm Clock Will Be Jealous)
#alohaspirit
If you think Hawaii sunsets are magical, wait until you see its sunrises. Trust us, your morning alarm will never be the same once you’ve witnessed one of these epic sunrises. Here’s where you need to wake up early and chase the sunrise in Hawaii:
1. Haleakalā National Park, Maui
Get up at the crack of dawn (and maybe a bit earlier) to catch the sunrise from the Haleakalā Crater. It’s worth the early wake-up call, as the sky turns into an otherworldly mix of pink, orange, and purple hues, all set against the massive crater. Seriously, you’ll feel like you’re on a different planet. Bring a jacket though—it’s chilly up there at 10,000 feet!
2. Lanikai Beach, Oahu
If you’re looking for a peaceful, beachy sunrise, Lanikai Beach is the place to be. The sun rises over the Mokulua Islands, painting the sky in brilliant colors while you sip your coffee (and try to look like you’ve been up for hours, even if you haven’t). It’s the perfect spot for some early morning zen and a few Insta-worthy pics.
3. Kilauea Point, Kauai
On Kauai, you can catch a sunrise from Kilauea Point, where you can see the sun rise over the ocean and the cliffs. Bonus: You might spot some seabirds or even a whale off the coast. It’s a magical start to any day.
So, pack your camera (and some coffee), because Hawaii’s sunrises are not to be missed!

Chasing the Sun: Why You Need to Witness a Hawaii Sunset 🔥
#alohaspirit
Hawaii sunsets are something straight out of a dream—and not the “sleeping in on a Sunday” kind of dream, but the “I’m standing on a tropical beach watching the sky turn into a canvas of magical colors” kind. If you haven’t witnessed one yet, drop whatever you’re doing (but not your phone, because you’ll need it for pictures) and book a ticket to Hawaii ASAP.
As the sun dips behind the Pacific, the sky explodes into a fiery mix of oranges, pinks, purples, and golds, leaving you questioning how something so perfect can exist in real life. It’s like nature just decided to throw a party and invited every color in the crayon box to join.
Every Hawaiian island has its own flavor of sunset. On Oahu, you can watch the sky from the famous Waikiki Beach, where the backdrop of Diamond Head makes it even more surreal. On Maui, Kaanapali Beach offers an epic view as the sun slowly slips behind the horizon, and in Kauai, the West Shore offers some of the best sunset views on the island.
Trust us, your Instagram feed needs this moment. And, more importantly, your soul needs the peaceful tranquility that comes with watching a Hawaiian sunset. It’s a reminder that sometimes, the best things in life are free (and can be captured in one amazing sunset shot).

For divers, the Molokini Crater on Maui is an incredible place to see sea turtles in their natural environment, gliding effortlessly through the clear waters.
3. Conservation Efforts and Turtle Protection
Hawaii has strong conservation programs in place to protect its sea turtle population. The Hawaiian Islands Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) work tirelessly to ensure the safety of these ancient creatures. As a visitor, you can learn about these conservation efforts, and by supporting local eco-tourism, you can help protect these incredible creatures.
4. Unique Turtle Watching
Hawaii offers an unmatched turtle-watching experience. Many beaches like Laniakea Beach on Oahu, known as Turtle Beach, are famous for their regular turtle sightings. Watching these majestic creatures basking in the sun or swimming through the surf is an unforgettable experience for any nature lover.

Nature’s Masterpiece: Hawaii’s Rainbow of Colors
#alohaspirit
Hawaii isn’t just an island paradise—it’s a vibrant canvas painted by nature itself. Here, the colors of the islands form their own natural rainbow, each shade weaving together a story of life, energy, and awe-inspiring beauty.

Ferns and towering trees blanket the volcanic terrain, creating a serene escape that feels like stepping into another world. These emerald landscapes are the heart of Hawaii, alive with birdsong and the soft rustle of leaves.

From snorkeling in crystal-clear bays to watching waves crash against the shore, the ocean’s mesmerizing hues are impossible to ignore. As sunlight dances across the surface, it creates a dazzling spectacle that feels almost too perfect to be real.
Finally, the fiery red and black tones of the volcanic soil remind you of Hawaii’s dramatic origins.

🌴Why Hawaii is a must for Palm Tree Lovers 🌴
#northamericatrip
If you love palm trees, then pack your bags and head straight to Hawaii because these leafy giants are practically the island’s VIPs! From the moment you step off the plane, you’ll be surrounded by the ultimate tropical palm tree lineup, and trust me, they’re not shy—they know they look good.
Hawaii’s palm trees come in all shapes and sizes: tall coconut palms with their glossy green leaves, and more exotic varieties like the Pritchardia palms, which seem like they should have their own celebrity status. These trees don’t just sit around looking pretty—they sway, they dance in the wind, and they might even wave at you (okay, maybe not actually wave, but it sure looks like it).
Want to see the palm tree action up close? Waikiki Beach is basically the Palm Tree Fashion Week of the world, with rows of palms posing perfectly for every tourist photo. But if you’re after a quieter vibe, head over to Lanikai Beach on Oahu or Poipu Beach on Kauai, where the palms gently sway in the breeze like they’re on a tropical vacation of their own.
And let’s not forget that palm trees mean relaxation. Every time you find a shady spot under one, it’s like nature’s way of saying, “Take a nap, you deserve it!” So if you’re a palm tree enthusiast, Hawaii is basically your dream come true—where the trees are as relaxed as you’ll be, and the only thing you need to worry about is which beach to lie on! 🌴😎
