10 Uncommon and Valuable Tips for Planning your Hawai’i Trip

Whether you’re coming for a visit or planning on making Hawai’i home, consider these uncommon, but valuable, tips during your stay on these beautiful islands!

Tip #1: The shaka! It’s a thing. This iconic hand gesture is commonly seen and stands as a symbol of ”Aloha”, “Thank you”, and/or “Sorry”. If you make a mistake while driving, or need to merge into traffic, throw out a shaka. Pro tip: It is custom that if someone throws you a shaka, you throw one back.

Tip #2: With one road (Kamehameha Hwy) taking you around most of the island it is important to learn a basic rule of courtesy practiced on the island. As traffic tends to be heavy along the North Shore, when turning off the main road, allow someone wanting to get onto it in front of you. This allows them to enter the main stream of cars, before you turn off, without having to wait further.

Tip #3: We tell people distance by time not by miles. Due to the fact that we have limited roads and heavy traffic, especially on the North Shore, when we communicate how long it will take us to get to a place we give it in minutes and not miles. So, if you make a reservation somewhere and the company calls for an ETA, be sure to tell them how many minutes away you are instead of how many miles.

Tip #4: The history of colonialism has deeply affected the Hawaiian Islands, and continues to this day. Many Hawaiians are still fighting to protect their lands and visitors should be mindful of this. Be respectful and educate yourself of the Hawaiian culture, people, and land. If you do, you will in turn be treated with respect.

Tip #5: A good rule of thumb to keep in mind, when it comes to doing cliff jumping or swimming in an area with bigger waves: “If in doubt, don’t go out.” If the locals aren’t doing it, you shouldn’t either. The ocean is very powerful and can surprise you with strong currents, heavy waves, undertows, and dangerous shore breaks. You can always talk with the lifeguards to know if an area is safe to swim or not.

Tip #6: The ocean’s ecosystem is very sensitive. The sunscreen you wear here needs to be different than what you wear at the pool or lake. Only wear reef safe sunscreen, you can buy some at the local grocery stores or online. Please remember, do not touch the sea turtles or the monk seals, either in the ocean or when they’re resting on the beach, and don’t walk on the coral reefs. A great place to educate yourself on the beautiful underwater ecosystem is Hanauma Bay, but get there early as it fills up fast! If you want to explore some North Shore snorkel spots check out our blog here.

Tip #7: Local entrepreneurship thrives on the island! Many families and individuals have their own businesses, whether that’s a local food truck or a product run business. Support the local families by shopping small or eating at all the best joints in town. Check out our blog for our favorite local foods and stay tuned for a blog on the best local shops to get your perfect souvenir.

Tip #8: Swimsuits are actually cheaper here because they’re always in season, so the stores have to rotate their inventory. This means there is always cute swimsuits on sale! Many locals have their own swimsuit companies, and some even use recycled ocean plastics or fishnets to create their fabrics, serving dual purposes of supporting the locals and helping clean up the ocean. Some of our favorite local swimsuit companies are Na Wahine Lole, Sundaze Bikinis, and Kalokine X Kalokane Swim.

Tip #9: Your vacation will become a food-cation! Maybe this is more of a heads-up, rather than a tip, but there are so many delicious and local food joints here that you’ll want to try them all and there is nothing wrong with that! Check out our favorites here.

Tip #10: Lastly, ATMs are scarce on the North Shore and a lot of businesses prefer or only take cash. So be sure to pull cash out while you’re in Honolulu or Waikiki.

Traveling Hawai’i Aloha Style

Traveling to Hawaii? Here are some thing to keep in mind!

While tourism greatly benefits the local economy, visitors should always be conscious of the culture they are stepping into and be willing to adapt. Doing this will gradually bridge the gap between locals and tourists, creating genuine relationships, and a more respectful environment for all.

Here are 5 simple ways to embrace our way of life, using our favorite motto and acronym “Always CLIMB” (Challenge, Learn, Inspire, Master, and Believe).

CHALLENGE yourself and others to keep our island clean by cleaning up after yourselves. Whether it be at the beach or on a hike, taking a trash bag with you helps eliminate the waste that would otherwise be left behind and later amongst our wildlife. Taking the initiative to pick up any other trash you see along your way is always a good habit too, so let’s challenge ourselves to do better and keep our island clean.

LEARN to drive with aloha. This isn’t the mainland and you’re on vacation, so give yourself time to enjoy the scenic views and try not to be in a rush going from place to place. Now that DOESN’T mean drive EXTRA slow to look at turtles on the beach, (pull over and let traffic flow if you’re into that sorta thing) but it DOES mean throwing a shaka out as you cross lanes, not to drive recklessly, and not to beep your horn so much. The speed limits are a lot slower on the North side of the island so again, take in the beauty of the breathtaking Ko’olau mountains and the miles of roadside beaches. You’ll be SO glad you did!

INSPIRE others to respect the wildlife in the mountains, in the water or those sleeping on the shores. Remember that you are a guest in THEIR home and the last thing anyone would want is some stranger poking them, and if you didn’t know before, touching/petting sea turtles is illegal and can harm them. We want to especially emphasize this with any endangered wildlife or other protected areas.

MASTER the art of taking off your shoes as you enter someone’s home. This might seem odd but is definitely a sign of respect to your host. Just FYI, you know there’s a good party going on if you see a million pairs of slippers outside the front door! Just remember to take home the right pair of shoes at the end of the night

BELIEVE in ancient myths and sacred places and respect them. There are sacred sites called Heiaus, or places of worship, all over the island and if you’re lucky to be able to explore one, please review any specific rules that may be onsite. An obvious rule would be to not touch or take anything that would cause damage to the site or yourself. And when they say it’s bad luck to take lava rocks home with you, don’t chance it and give TSA a reason to slow down the lines even more. There are literally thousands of souvenirs you can take home with you so if you’re smart you’d listen to this one and get yourself the box of macadamia nut chocolate instead. You’ll thank me later.

No matter where you travel in the world it is important to respect the culture of a place. Sometimes you can’t avoid looking like a tourist, but by following these five simple steps you’ll be able to blend in a little better. Keep in mind that these are just a few ways to travel smart but there are many more! Aloha isn’t just a word, it’s a way of life, and we want you take this spirit with you. ALOHA!
