MY FIRST TIME in HAWAII 🇺🇸 Waikiki is INCREDIBLE (Honolulu)

Aloha from Hawaii this is my first time here in America's 50th state so just got off the plane let me get through where I need to get through I don't need to go through immigration cuz still in the United States but uh yeah let's go guys so I just finished a completely free first class flight so when I got to the gate to board my plane I had a just a regular economy ticket booked with points when I got to the oh there's a bird look guys there's a bird when I got to the gates they were like sir you've been upgraded to first class so yeah I just flew first class here to Hawaii and it was a really really nice flight but uh here we are let's explore Wy K guys so yeah I have literally never been to Hawaii it's one of the only states in America I've never been and let me tell you I'm going to take this jacket off CU is warm here feels really good so I'm just kind of walking I don't know where to go I haven't been able to find an exit I see Gates but I'm going to have to get a LIF or an Uber so let me figure this out guys look at this freaking airport look at this there's like a cultural Garden here in the airport wow guys oh my God guys I've heard Hawaii is expensive this is a 18-minute round ride $42 guys oh what do we do do we try our luck at taxis I have a $115 credit through my Uber but that is crazy city buses maybe maybe I can go there all right guys I'm going to take the buset you're going or hotel you're going and you okay it's right here that one VIP see the The Little House the black city bus here oh right here yeah okay oh right here I got you okay thank you very much yeah you just have to have the correct $2 okay if I give them three they'll take three yeah okay all right guys let's take the bus very nice lady help me out Kathy Kathy oh you got him okay all right thank you these Ladi so nice just gave gave everybody change who needed change yeah it's like three bucks to get on the bus all right guys let's go to w all right I had to get off that damn bus because that was getting intense so it took almost not quite 2 hours but an hour and a half to get down to where I am now which is a 5minute walk to my hotel and uh you're not good with motion sickness like me it's a bit of a rough ride so it's up to you I did save $50 which is great always good to save 50 right actually probably over cuz I would have had to tip but uh it took a very long time and I a heading so all right I've also been up for 20 hours about 20 hours now cuz of the time zone difference so it's a little weird but we're in Hawaii so and I have to say I'm going to say this right now Hawaii has the friendliest people in America out of any state that I've ever been to it was crazy when I was looking to get on the bus I had like two people help me figure out how to get on the bus I was even given change like they there were two people who just like gave wanted to give me change I actually had the exact change so I didn't take it but they also helped somebody else out so it was just like people are so friendly anyway here is y k guys so this is Royal Hawaiian Avenue and I am on Seaside Avenue so that should be around here all right so this is where I'm staying Island colony it's an Airbnb but it's technically a hotel so let me get checked in here guys all right guys we are here so this is the Airbnb getting the first look at it and nice spot to work at oh looks like they picked me up with some Lee hang jumbo sour watermelon I'm definitely going to get those two bottles of water which I desperately need massive TV be using that but take a look at this let's open this up oh my gosh look at this got this nice Aloha sign that lights up here it's not plugged oh wait is it plugged in N not plugged in we're not going to plug it in but take a look at this you got a nice water side view here this is actually the bay over here is the beach and so much space here out on this balcony feels really nice let's take a look at what else is in here now let me lock that up I am spending uh let's take a look at the see if there's anything in here they already gave me water looks like we got closet here let's take a look at the bathroom okay cool small bathroom but perfect for me all right so I spent 686 for three nights so it comes out to 228 I think is what I just did the that divided by three on my calculator so $228 per night which guys literally is the cheapest place I could find in y Kei so you know Hawaii's very expensive and W ke is also very very expensive and so 228 sounds like a lot but it's really the cheapest that I could find unless you wanted to do something like u a hostle or something like that but I don't say a hostile so I should probably go to sleep cuz I've been up for 20 hours but I'm not going to do that because I want to get on the time zone shift here cuz I'm also going to another time zone in like 4 days so I want to get on the time zone shift and I also want to explore W Kei so let's go guys but

know how you actually say it but it's this way and maybe I'll take a look at the beach too while it's still light out so let's go so wow guys I am so impressed by W ke so when you think about Hawaii a lot of people think about W ke cuz this is like one of the most famous destinations it's got all the shops the retail stores which you can see here there's a Lululemon over there there's like obviously whatever foot loog it doesn't matter but uh all of these like really nice shops here and it's like a super Pleasant place to walk and uh I think the place that we're going to now has even more retail stuff well guys take a look at this Maui Brewing Co so you get cold beer here I guess there's like a place to drink the beer up here cuz I think like a lot of places in the United States you can't just like drink in the open uh there are some states where you can but I don't know if Hawaii is one of them I'll have to see if other people are it's called a open liquor container law or open container laws so this looks kind of cool we've got international marketplace so I'm really set on going down to uh place I have on my map but maybe I'll have to dip in here later tonight oh and look we've got the tiis here lit very nice this is this is such a Vibe I have to say all right maybe I can get a water in this Hawaiian casuals store hello [Music] yes I can all right let's go with Hawaiian volcanic water this stuff is super expensive where I'm from but here it's only $239 it's a great price and look at this see you can have other waters here look at this 1.5 L Hawaiian water for $1 179 that is a great price to come back and load up what other kind of Hawaiian stuff they have in here very hricane popcorn this Hawaiian hurricane popcorn what what is that of course you've got all the Hawaiian coffees in here I've heard Hawaiian coffee is absolutely incredible I'll definitely be taking you along with me for a coffee tomorrow look like we can also get other types of pineapple shortbread you just saw me eat a bunch of them wow guys of course you've got all the Hawaii souvenirs that you could ever want here all right perfect guys got myself a bag so put my cookies and water in guys let's try some of this volcanic Hawaiian water oh super good water is life so it's got all the minerals in it it's got alkaline PA silica TDS magnesium potassium calcium straight from the volcano dude Hawaii volcanic water bit of a water ficado looks like you can take the lelay strain but I want to go check out this beach while I still can my first day here do not have sandals with me I know I'm crazy let's go check out the beach if I get sand in my shoes oh well wow guys absolutely picturesque so this whole street is kalakua street so it's a waterfront street with shops and all that sort of thing but I'm really interested in checking out this street over here also I'd kindly ask you to hit subscribe really helps the channel out really appreciate it all right so I think technically you can this is technically a street take a look at this guys oh my gosh Wow Let's have a look at the ocean here famous wyi Beach so it's actually like not huge from what I've read I can see I guess people do surf here obviously but my guess is there's better surfing in the way you can see a lot of people surfing out there wow it is absolutely stunningly beautiful all right let's keep walking I think it might be beer o' guys so maybe we'll hunt a beer down and just uh one stop over you've got cheeseburger and Paradise oh that sounds good good think it's incredibly busy seems like quite the spot here guys I doubt that they're seating OMG Mexican girl hello aloha good good place good place good very good very good all right thank you okay I was just in Mexico and I had amazing Mexican food so I think I will pass on that right now but uh oh man I'm loving this shop GoPro keeps uh cutting out guys sorry about this but uh I am really really loving this stretch of shops here tiis Grill and Bar over there twin Finn interesting so I wonder if the shops go all the way down here or not there's another place I want to check out called Le Lew Street or Lewis Street I don't know how you say it oh look at this we've got a Tesla store here right on the main Boulevard wow absolutely beautiful I must have missed that when I walked by here cuz here's this International Market Place why don't we just stop in here yeah let's check it out guys let's see international marketplace wow I wonder if this is like a mall or what but you see all these cool looking trees built in it's like an indoor outdoor see like your we outdoor 100 shops and restaurants Wow got places to sit here there's even like power outlets right there oh my gosh multiple floors as well wonder how far it goes and like you see all these lit TIY candles all throughout this area here oh my I have to say like this is this is America's 50th state but this feels like no place like I've been before it's very very unique culture here every state in America is a bit different and you can certainly feel that here in Hawaii all right guys we got to go to Maui Brewing Company right let's go check out Maui Brewing Company I should have put shorts on oh look at this guys this is nice let's try to get a spot outside somewhere all right how about here yeah let's go here all right so we can scan the code order some beer here's what we got bikini blonde logger big swell IPA pineapple Mana wheat oh man that sounds good we got a porter Paul Hana pser would probably be something I'd like got a pale ale shimata rice logger dah Hawaiian Life what is that oh man I don't even know what to choose my goodness dragon fruit hard Seltzer all right I'm going to decide I'm bad at deciding all right guys I got a uh logger the bikini blonde logger and uh I got fries too cuz I realized like the food on the plane it wasn't like big portions and yeah whatever I'm just going to have fries with my beer yeah so dude this this Vibe I really really really loving my first couple hours here in Hawaii guys and then after this we're going to go walk to lure Street I think is how you say it um and I might have one more beer I don't know we'll see but yeah look at this I got a spot outside absolutely beautiful it came out lightning quick cheers guys first day in Hawaii look at the foam on this the head on this beer oh that is so light and refreshing might have to one more of these or the mango one cuz that sounds interesting but I just ate like three shortbread cookies so yeah this a 875 for that beer which I'm not surprised Hawaii is expensive and this is like a really special place that you can only get really in Hawaii so Maui Brewing Company and then the fries were also $875 so or something like that yeah so oh guys there's honestly such a good musician there oh man beautiful voice I recommend you go there it's well worth the cost had a great great meal there little great fries and a beer so let's keep walking guys how have I not been to Hawaii before Oh my God this is not the last time I'm coming to Hawaii wow and this is just I think aahu that's how you say this is just one island in Hawaii of course Hawaii is going through a lot right now with u m the Maui situation but there are many many places to discover in this state what's cool about Hawaii is it's just a 9-h hour flight from or to Japan as well so you can uh connect your trips there if you want to take like a Hawaii Japan trip this is lure street so do we go down here start where do we start guys where do we start how about we go down here see what's down [Music] here got all the luxury shops here you've got the Dior shop over here it's like a really nice building and I love the tiki lights here am I saying that correctly I'm sorry if I'm not saying that correctly but that's that's what I think of when I think of TV lights lit up let me know if I'm if it's something else in the comment section if you're a local here if you just know PF Changs not that exciting but Royal Hawaiian censor I've heard that's definitely something you got to do oh guys couldn't have asked for a better first impression of Hawaii I'm excited to see where we go from here I only had one beer at that place so maybe I'll get another maybe not and this is just such a walkable Place W ke is not very big but it like it's it's not very big so you can literally just walk everywhere um perfect temperature wear whatever you want you have really fine dining if you want like here it's like a really nice place do some shopping if you're into that or do it like me and just enjoy enjoy the walk and enjoy the sights and the sounds and the scenes here in W so I've noticed already we've got all these ABC stores you can get water there for very very cheap water like $1.79 there's another Honolulu cookie company over there so they're all over and I think this is just the end of the first part of lure Street got a Yard House Brew that's a very American um Western Brew House find them in America Soho living Soho Ki I'm assuming I don't know what that is mahina Kahala nalo oh guys you can even get Thai Boat noodles here that is a very authentic Thai Dish that I have had the pleasure and opportunity of having when I was in Thailand but I'm really curious to see what these lit up trees are over here so this is uh kalakua this is the main Boulevard well one of the main streets here in uh W Kei but this might just be like a walk path but it's really really nice looking just more like really high-end shops
