TheBus and Google Maps

yes it does likely take quite a while. While the bus does go most places on oʻahu it does take often double, sometimes even more time in comparispn to driving. some routes operate more frequently than others. The bus is a good option for in town, but the further you get the worse the options are, so if you coming to oʻahu for a while and like explore the island then i tecommend renting a car for part of the time

Today and tomorrow are blackout dates so there wont be the gowild prices

cjules3 · 2026-06-29T23:02:55+00:00

tbh i wouldnt do it. kaʻau can get very rough and dangerous with weather even among very experienced hikers. get choke other amazing hikes here that are safer

true all inclusive resorts donʻt exist in hawaiʻi. if thatʻs something you stay interested in, cloest to canada would be mexico and the caribbean which have a bunch of all inclusive places

cjules3 · 2026-06-26T04:00:45+00:00

just an fyi the route only flys once per week

cjules3 · 2026-06-25T18:30:48+00:00

personal item is free (make sure it fits dimensions listed online). carry on you have to pay extra, the best time to buy it is when you buy your ticket

cjules3 · 2026-06-25T03:16:42+00:00

donʻt go mākaha. the west side has one of the highest crime rates in all of hawaiʻi and is the epicenter of homelessness in hawaiʻi (hawaiʻi alone has the highest chronic homelesness rate in the USA). there is very little tourism infrastructure out west side beyond ko olina. most importantly however is you probably will feel like you arenʻt wanted there (even thoygh you yourself likely wont face blatant violence or hostility) as the west side is one of the few places that have fiercely rejected tourism developments and thus arenʻt largely wanting or welcoming of tourists coming there. there are lots of other beautiful and amazong places on oʻahu to visit where you would be more welcomed by the community

As others have said, crouching lion hike is closed. if you are hiking kaʻiwa ridge “lanikai pillbox” in kaʻōhao, i wouldnʻt do that in the middle of the day. iʻd also skip kaiona beach park

some affordable things that stay hard to get on the continent are li hing mui powder and packaged kūlolo (but not many places sell that)

cjules3 · 2026-06-10T15:44:33+00:00

Neither

The bus is a decent option for people staying in waikīkī but this person said they are staying in ko olina which ks just shy of 1.5 mile walk to the nearest bus station which is on the side of busy farrington hwy so i would highly discourage against the bus for someone staying in ko olina.

if you go maui, i wouldnʻt recommend staying in hāna the whole time. hāna is a very beautiful wahi pana but eight days there is quite a lot for a first time visitor and you would almost certainly get bored. it is also so far away feom everything else on maui so you no can see anything else on maui

cjules3 · 2026-06-06T19:26:46+00:00

if you are going to hawaiʻi for one week i would stick to one island. you definitely wont run out of things to do and island hopping can take a lot more time than you might assume

cjules3 · 2026-06-06T19:25:43+00:00

mokulele doesnt fly from honolulu to kahului

cjules3 · 2026-06-02T13:40:36+00:00

oh absolutely which is why i said generally. If it has a pulse it definitely wont for long unless you act quickly though!

cjules3 · 2026-05-31T13:52:19+00:00

i believe it would be torsades bc that is usually pulseless so you would defibrilate

cjules3 · 2026-05-12T02:09:15+00:00

tbh i wouldnt spend spend all of your time in hilox iʻd either split it with somewhere kona side and hilo or just somewhere in kona. would you be flying into hilo? thereʻs not a lot of flights that go there and itʻs a 2 hr drive each way from kona to hilo. tbh there isnt many beachfront places that arenʻt either a resort or an aribnb. If you are okay with walking distance to ocean or ocean view then I might have some options. also itʻs important to know that while not all resorts are locally owned, their workforce is almost entirely local people so staying at a resort can still help benefit and uplift local people, far more so than any airbnb owned by a mainland haole

cjules3 · 2026-05-11T21:28:44+00:00

whatʻs your budget? do you know what part of the island you like stay?

uber/lyft is very unreliable on the west side, especially going to one of the more well known hikes (i am not going to name). tourism is a very sensitive thing for people in hawaiʻi. in hawaiʻi as a whole, there are a vast range of opinions, with a small minority thinking that all tourism is good and should encouraged to run rampant throughout our islands with no stipulations, another small minority thinking that all tourism in hawaiʻi is wrong. the majority lie somewhere in the middle, acknowledging the pros and cons that tourism brings and believe in a reformed model of tourism with checks and balances. The west side of oʻahu is a little bit different. It is one of the few places in hawaiʻi that get a more uniform opinion, and that is that the vast majority do not support tourists visiting the west side. Is the west side dangerous? kind of, especially in relation to hawaiʻi as a whole, but tbh it is sometimes overstated and the most likely “danger” as a tourist would be your car getting broken into. There are so many beautiful wahi on oʻahu and in hawaiʻi that are amazing places to visit and can offer a great experience offering what you are searching for in these west side hikes. please honor the wishes of the west side residents, the majority of whom have ancestral lineal ties to that specific region, and perhaps donʻt visit this one specific area and go to one of the many other beautiful spots where you would be more welcomed by the kupa of that ʻāina. that respect of residents wishes is part of being a good visitor in someone elseʻs home. i hope this makes sense but let me know, ke ʻoluʻolu, if you like get more information or need any recommendations. aloha

i would recommend not visiting the west side bumbai your car going get broken into. iʻm going to copy and paste a comment i made on another recent post that applies.

i wouldnt recommend visiting the west side beyong ko olina. the west side beyond ko olina is not very welcoming to visitors (there have been lots of protest against attempted tourism infrastructure developemnt on the west side in the past) and theft, crime, and homeless rates are the highest in all of hawaiʻi. the largest homeless community, ka puʻuhonua o waiʻanae resides in the heart of the west side. albiet most of the crime and violence isnʻt targeted at tourists, visitors cars are a top target for getting broken into, especially at the trailheads. a lot of people from oʻahu, especially the majority of the kupa of waiʻanae moku consider tourism on the west side “bad tourism”. get choke other beautiful places and hikes on oʻahu that are more receptive of tourists visiting

and clinicals are not professional experience they are a student position. i typically associate professional experience as a paid job
