know in the comments how many abc stores we passed by that's abc store number two and here on the second floor of this little uh shopping mall is a goofy's cafe they are very famous for their breakfast lunch and dinner and the lines guys are crazy they're still because of covet they still close i have fingers crossed they will be open i've heard a lot of good things about goofy's cafe so there's car rental with free shuttles and this is the back end of the japanese steakhouse if you guys have seen our complete walk-in tour through hilton hawaiian village you see how this stick house looks like from the front it is a huge huge property hilton hawaiian village and our walkthrough was about 50 minutes right yeah it was really long so if you haven't seen that video we will leave the link in the description or at the end card of this video it was long but it was complete we tell you everything you need to know very informative guys as usual it's a beautiful pond with ducks look how gorgeous this duck is and this is a famous spot for hilton hawaiian village to take pictures okay we just turned from ala moana boulevard to kaliya street street and we are going to pass through hilton hawaiian village so if you are staying here and wondering how long it will take you to walk to kalakawa avenue you can start your countdown here so now we are approaching one of the main entrances to enter whether you're coming in a taxi or in your rental car this is the entrance to the hilton hawaiian village which loops you around through the village and right up to the front desk basically hilton hawaiian village has also some regular rooms uh hotel rooms and they also have a vacation club as well where you can get like a condo two-bedroom one bedroom or a studio with a little kitchen and right across the street you will see the beginning of a park fort de rossi some parts of this park is private some parts are actually available to public and this park is a beachfront park we will show you what it looks like later as we are going to walk through it so the alley that we are approaching you can take this alley straight to the beach and here it is haleco hotel it is a military-based hotel but we cannot even if you're not staying on this hotel this is one of the hotels that you cannot even go through you have to be military or related to somebody who is in the military who can book the room in this hotel for you they also do luaus i'm not sure right now they might not do it due to covet restrictions but normally we hear they have a set up for luaus on their grounds as well across the street there is still park derasi it is a 71 acre park so as you can see there all you see is just greenery and trees and this halicore hotel is pretty hidden but it is a beachfront hotel [Music] so this one hotel we cannot do the walkthrough so uh at this point in the walk it's just uh we have some fort de rossi as irena mentioned on the left and we're about to enter get to the museum but while we're walking there we'd like to talk to you guys about uh restaurants so if you're coming here we get a lot of messages in our social media and we talk about restaurants and booking restaurants and being prepared and also not only prepared but coming here with a lot of patience a lot of people don't understand it's very hard to dine even at a very casual restaurant you might think oh well i'm not eating at a high-end restaurant so it won't affect me it does it doesn't matter what style of restaurant is always aligned sometimes you're waiting you know half an hour 45 minutes an hour sometimes up to even two hours sometimes it's just impossible to get reservations you call them and they say we're not taking any reservations also a lot of places most places actually don't allow you to call up you have to be there in person so just keep that in mind come with a lot of patients know you're going to have to wait um someone we spoke to earlier they said uh they they're just gonna kind of do um uh yeah they're just going to do uh doordash so um that might be the best option to just order in because going to restaurants right now can be really really really challenging and if that's the the way you want to go about it just again be have a lot of patience and know that you're going to have to wait so now um this is another side of fort de rossi park and we're just about to approach the military museum where you can see they have a war tanks on display could be possibly be uh world war ii i'm not 100 sure um there's a chopper a helicopter a world war ii helicopter on the roof it's pretty cool and the entrance is free and it is only the nation based from this side of the park it is the beachfront area that i was talking to you earlier and they do have some volleyball nets set out one set up once in a while and again guys if you want us to do the beach walk through pointing out where things are let us know in the comments and right here you can see a tall tower for trump hotel and here you go guys this is the military museum the one was talking about it earlier there you see some tanks some military war tanks and on the roof there's a helicopter it's actually called u.s army museum of hawaii and right in front of us we are approaching our trigger reef hotel it is a beachfront hotel and it's still undergoing some renovations they are doing 80 million dollars worth of renovations the outside of the hotel is still boarded up so they are not quiet ready with the renovations but whenever they complete all their renovations we will be sure to do the walkthrough for you as well but i want to come back here you go guys closer look at trump hotel from the side there is blt steakhouse located right inside of trump hotel we are still walking on kalia road and right across the street there is beach walk cafe where you can get some breakfast items sandwiches water drinks and as irena mentioned this is the outrigger and here you see a lot of construction the construction is these blue boards that you're seeing it's kanye kapila grill and now we are walking by halekulani hotel which is actually one of my favorite hotels well before the constructions and i'm sure after construction is over it will be even more gorgeous honestly i don't even know why they even were doing constructions to begin with if their a hotel was already gorgeous right across the street there is famous royce steakhouse there are several roy steak houses on the island and this is the entrance to lures street again you see there are people lining up it's pretty hard to get in let's let people pass no i actually wouldn't right across the street you see you can see dennis if you like to have breakfast lunch there it is there for you imperial hawaii resort is located there and what number abc store is that embassy suites hotel is right here lure street is a very popular spot for people to come eat hang out for several reasons there are several shops here and this is kind of like a mall area there are shops and restaurants on the ground floor and on the second floor right across the street there are several restaurants and this is yard house this is so popular for many reasons it's it's really big there's um the pricing is affordable and they have a it's a chain restaurant so they have several yard house in the us so people already familiar chris state steakhouse is right on the second floor and over here you can see there is a really nice space and nice lounging area as well and they also have right in this area a farmers market even in farmer's market and most of the time people that you see kind of lounging out here are either having some take out take our food yeah or maybe they're just waiting for uh to be seated yeah absolutely across the street there is a cafe glaze we just love their gelatos but people who work there always seem really unhappy so the service is not so good but the ice cream and gelatos are awesome there is subway here and right across the street in a windham vacation waikiki beach walk there is breakout room break out waikiki and we have done a vlog of trying to break out of one of their rooms so you can actually see and our video and our experience and they open till late so one of the things to do in the evening would be um [Music] going and booking one of the breakouts so a breakout room just for those of you who don't know it's basically you have one hour to escape a room and they give you a bunch of clues and you have to unlock the clues so you can get out of the room right across the street there is a art museum and gallery there is a poke bar another abc this is a sicilian restaurant we ate here once here in the outdoor area the there was hardly anybody in the restaurant and the service was terrible the one literally had to get up and serve us himself he would ask for the server who was just sitting inside and the food was okay we were not impressed so here we have a starbucks at the corner and a p f changs it's coming soon this was here previously and they closed down i don't know if they're doing some type of renovation and there's actually an italian restaurant up those escalators right behind this brown el tapo yeah we ate there as well and we were not impressed so something that we would not come back to yeah yeah and we're approaching kalakaua avenue you hear the noise that's kalakaua avenue here's another way you can go right through royal hawaiian center underneath [Applause] so as you can see we're just about 25 minutes or so in and we are now on kalakaua avenue the main strip this is where all the shops are located uh we are going to the right but if you go to the left there are just a few more high-end shops and restaurants but the majority stuff is located so just to bring you up to speed on what irena is saying i'm gonna turn this way at the next corner they're literally just two blocks away right just just actually one block away there's um tommy bahamas and right next to tommy bahamas is the hard rock cafe and that's a block away right across the street boarded up is tea galleria it's a really huge shopping mall duty-free but because of japanese tourists are not coming to hawaii as yet they've literally just been closed and still boarded up but all other uh shops and restaurants [Music] oh thank you so much aloha we just met one of our subscribers we love meeting you guys and we are passing by a royal hawaiian center it's a really huge center it goes through several blocks and there are inside there are shops and restaurants and so you can shop through the main street of kalakawa or you can walk inside royal hawaiian center and shop and enter the restaurants from the inside across the street victoria secrets corner and above victoria secrets there is a bucho mexican restaurant it's a really big restaurant it's a popular spot they do salsa nights live music the food is okay and the drinks are kind of also average if you go under this path you will see sheraton waikiki and that is how you get to the main entrance of sheridan and we have done a complete walk-in tour through sheraton so if you're considering staying at and be sure to watch that video first before you decide to book it and we are approaching right now number one shave ice spots island vintage shave eyes and not only the number one spot for shave ice in our opinion but also the s what would be considered the center of waikiki look at the line guys and this is not bad normally the line will wrap around and go down this sidewalk and it will just loop around there's always a line here and i usually don't really trust lines i think it's a lot of times it's only based on hype and people see a line and they think oh it must be good but this is actually um i agree that this is the best spot for um shaved ice and this is the center of royal hawaiian center this is where they do presentations uh hula shows for free and as well as cultural classes over here you see a pink building right behind this giant tree this is a royal hawaiian hotel and right on the stage if we come over here you can see the current schedule for the show it is 5 30 to 6 30 p.m tuesday through sunday you can see a free show hula dancing hawaiian music and just be sure to head over to royal hawaiian center website for the current updated uh schedule right on top there is island vintage coffee it is a really popular coffee shop it is all over the island but right behind it on the second floor it's one of our favorite spots to eat a island vintage wine bar the prices are so affordable and the dishes all the dishes we tried were super delicious and that is the entrance to the top of waikiki so if you look up it's a really popular bar they serve some food there as well but for sunsets guys it is incredible the view is gorgeous it used to be a rotating restaurant but now it's been closed due to covet and it never reopened but the bar is open right across the street you will see beachcomber hotel and if you go on the alley right alongside that hotel you will see duke's lane that is a really popular spot to buy cheap souvenirs trinkets some hawaiian apparel but if you want to know where to really buy cheap hawaiian souvenirs and apparel where do they go aloha swap mint and we created a video guys to show you what it looks like and we will leave the link in the description as well and the good thing about this market is it's right in the center of waikiki so if you don't want to travel to aloha swap meet you can just come here you can bargain with them and it's open late it's open till i think 11 10 10 or 11 pm at night guys kalakawa avenue lights up there are so many night performers here there is music everywhere all the restaurants have live music and performances let us know if you want us to do a tour through kalakava avenue at night right across the street there is macy's uh this is a smaller macy's if you go to ala moana center there is a bigger macy's we approaching cheesecake factory this is one of the place that you cannot make our reservations in advance you have to come here sign up and wait for your turn [Applause] enjoy we're with another subscriber that is awesome so here uh right across the street there is very popular spot maui brewery and international marketplace but before we talk about this uh this is a very popular spot to enter the beach or exit the beach and all the surfboards and there is also a popular spot to have a frozen dessert it's called banana so let's keep walking because this is a walking tour so i don't want to divert so you get the real time perspective of how long it will take to get to from one spot to another right across the street you can see the entrance to international marketplace it is an outdoor three-floor shopping mall there are lots of restaurants on top uh shops and it is there is a huge bainian tree inside we did a walking tour through international marketplace as well so we will leave the link in the description here you can buy fresh lakes from the locals we're passing through our trigger waikiki this is where most famous dukes restaurant is located and right above our favorite restaurant hula grill across the street there is another abc store there is hagen does where i like to have ice cream so we're just passing through the oldest hotel in waikiki moana surf rider it is a gorgeous classy hotel it is a beachfront hotel literally where the beach is right behind this hotel so right now uh we are walking pretty much parallel to the beach across the street there is biki biki bike station uh it is very convenient way to uh go around waikiki and we will be doing a walkthrough of this hotel very soon um we're still walking on kalakawa avenue this is the main avenue in waikiki there are only waikiki is a small neighborhood that only has three avenue kalakawa avenue kuhio avenue and alawi canalo alawi boulevard right now we are passing by lawson station where you can try some dole serve soft serve along with the shaved ice so if you can't make it for any reason to dole plantation this would be a good place to try dole whip right acro right now we're passing through famous waikiki christmas store a lot of you've been asking is the christmas store open yes it's finally reopened and across the street is hyatt uh rich is it regency or just hyatt regency hotel and we have done a complete walk through that hotel as well we're passing through honolulu police look how cute this station is amazing and it's right on the beach guys this station has like the this is the bus station and right after all the hotels finished you can see the beach so we're literally walking right next to the beach there is a rental uh surf rental service waikiki trolleys guys are back and they have several lines you can go on their website and see all the routes that they take and you can take up a pass for by a pass for one day two day or three day so right now we're approaching the most popular spot in waikiki this is called duke's beach and why because the duke statue is right here i'm sorry this is a kuhio park so duke uh was a very famous surfer and he actually contributed to popularizing surfing as a sport abc store i hope you got to keep in camp one thing you should know about hawaii is it does get windy a lot so it's an island in the middle of the pacific ocean so the trade winds are constantly blowing and that's why even though it could be 80 degrees but it just doesn't feel too hot because of the winds right now if we just go a little bit to the right uh you can see this grassy area precovet this is where they also did different performances and free presentation cultural presentation and it is right behind this giant banyan tree this is a like a landmark guys for waikiki this huge banyan tree and across the street there is a a new hotel is called espacio they specialize in more or catering to higher end clients and privacy their rooms inside look more like condos or like apartments and one floor is one apartment and right across the street there is famous spot for breakfast eggs and things the lines guys oh my gosh the lines just to check in to put your name down is at least 30 minutes and plus you have to wait an hour and another hour and a half to actually get a table they are really small so uh we did eat there when there was no wine and in our opinion it's not worth the wait the food is super average right across the street there is a lohilani hotel it is a beautiful hotel very modern and if you want us to do a complete walk through allohilani let us know in the comments guys as you can see we're still walking parallel to the beach and this will this will be the way it will be all the way to the end of this video just beautiful views across the street there is another haagen-dazs and another abc store and there is also cheeseburger in paradise it's a very popular spot for casual dining cheeseburgers fries and your typical bar food and also if you're into sports it's a great place to stop and get a cold beer and watch your favorite team play yeah i think this is a really good spot actually enjoy their food but you know it's hard to get a table so and it may look like it's closed because you see these brown but they're just shades that they pull down because the sun is setting now and it casts like it's very bright in there here we have a waterfall they turn this off throughout the uh in the evening times it doesn't stay on all the time it doesn't keep flowing and across the street you will see oahu mexican grill or oh my god or omg omg yeah do such strong frozen margaritas i always recommend them for margaritas we send you guys there you have to go there you can take it to go so it's very highly recommended and across the street we are approaching marriott hotel there is sensei um japanese restaurant there is a steakhouse there and we also enjoy arancino restaurant it's an italian restaurant this part of the beach is blocked off so there is not as much currents and we and waves so it's really nice and good to come here with kids another abc store how many is that guys you're counting drop it in the comment if you know how many abc stores we've we've already passed if you guys are finding value in this walkthrough let us know by clicking on that like button it helps a lot and we appreciate it there's another surf rental spot and it's actually pretty new because inside these cages it used to be just all open and um with tables and benches but right now they uh blocked it off so the homeless people wouldn't congregate in there across the street there is ashen waikiki beach hotel and on the second floor you will see very famous tikis grill and bar they do live music i think pretty much every evening it is a really popular spot the food is just okay but it's nice to hang out because it's an open concept there are some umbrellas so it's just um it's a decent place to rotate so we are approaching right now kapahulu groin kapahulu avenue and you can see this uh giant wall going all the way out into the ocean and that is the spot where kids like to jump off of across the street there is lulu's on monday pre-covet they used to do parties there he was really popular spot for parties and it's an open concept we did not go there to eat but i know it was popular too there's another abc store and another abc store that's two abc's and a little bit further down kapahulu growing kapahulu i'm sorry kapahulu avenue you will find queen kapialani hotel and the park shore hotel as well and we are entering uh queen kapiolani regional park guys and this part of the beach it's it is still a waikiki beach but every beach is sectioned into and has different names so this beach is called queens beach there are some volleyball nets always set up and it is very popular for locals and pre-covert you see this trust that's there that's that frame that metal frame they would put a screen there and they would project movies there as well across the street we have another massive banyan tree there and right beyond the banyan tree is the honolulu zoo guys if you've been following us for a while you know that we enjoy doing acro yoga and we practice acro acroyoga every sunday here at kapiolani park we will show you the exact spot and if you want to meet us or say hello this is the best place to find us another good spot is a magic island we practice there on tuesdays when we pass by that spot i will point it out for you so as you notice the path split one went in that direction and now we're here this is again still the main path but you can go this way and it'll lead us it'll lead you to exactly where we're going they're just running parallel to each other one is just more beach and this one is more towards the street side and it is really hot so we want to stay in the shade and we don't want scents to get on our feet so this is a cleaner way and a little bit um more cooler uh path to take and we've done this walk through on the side before so you can check our other videos and you can see exactly what that looks like queen kapiolani park is really famous for locals there are benches there people bring bring grills and locals set up tents and just hang out and grill and enjoy the beach and you see where people hanging out in hamax this is where we normally train acro yoga if you pass by here on sunday you will see a huge group doing some tricks and that's where we normally are so uh be sure to pass by and say aloha across the street uh there is uh there are some ponds there with ducks and uh we like to walk there and there is a statue of queen kapiolani there with lace we're coming up on the right hand side here uh restroom area and also a restaurant barefoot cafe it's a beachfront restaurant with it's a beachfront restaurant we did not eat there oh i think you did i had a sandwich from there and it was excellent okay and they also do live music it's a nice view in the evening they have some nice lights and it's a nice ambiance right between the restrooms there there is a bikie bike station as well speaking of food i'm actually getting really hungry yeah we're definitely gonna work up an appetite walking this route for you guys if you've made it this far thank you guys so much for your patience and we hope this uh walking tour you find it helpful and you can make some decisions on where to stay if you decided to stay in waikiki or just have a general idea how far things are from each other and what's cool about this park is actually you can see diamond head right now it's all covered by trees but you you get a perfect view of diamond head up close there are some people practicing yoga too so as you notice this area becomes so much quieter right when we were walking through kalakawa avenue you can hear all this noise so many people but now here it's way more peaceful and if you want to still stay in waikiki and be really close to you know the main area all the restaurants but want to have some more quiet time we will show you the exact place we are approaching kaimana beach and kaiman hotel we have done a vlog on we have done actually the entire series of where to stay on oahu guys we broke down each um area by 10 10 categories the uh what are the hotels available there what things to do in the hotel uh what things to do outside and so many different criteria that you can watch and we have done the episode for kaimana beach as well right now we are approaching the waikiki aquarium and i know they went under some renovations i'm not sure if they open the last thing i heard it was only by reservations so they only allow x amount of people because inside the aquarium it's tight quarters it's very small rooms and areas so they don't want too many people in there and it is a very small aquarium as well oh actually waikiki is definitely the most popular area to stay on the island of oahu but there are other really great areas for example kahala resort we have done a video on all of those places turtle baits just finished their renovations and if you want us to do a complete complete walk through turtle bay let us know the koalina is really gorgeous place to stay when you're staying in waikiki as you can see we just walked from one end of waikiki to the other and literally we just walked so under an hour yes and leisure and you do not need a car and we we've lived in waikiki for almost three years we don't own the car we get around on a bicycle biki bike everywhere we need to go grocery shopping on anywhere in waikiki so it's very accessible there are a lot of choices and that's why a lot of people choose to stay in waikiki just for the variety and the choices waikiki has to offer so here we are at kaimana beach it is very popular for locals and it is a more quieter area of waikiki so right behind me is kaimana hotel there is also lotus hotel they have couple of restaurants inside if you want us to do a complete walk through kaimana hotel let us know in the comments thank you so much for sticking around with us for almost an hour it was our pleasure to show you what walking through waikiki is like and where things are um don't forget to click like
