Vacation Time: Hawaii
- Thread starter Bostoneo
- Start date
Fun? Maybe.
Low ROI? Definitely.
Heli rides start around $300. You're better off driving around and talking to locals.
For a fantastic semi-submerged (not a true sub) yellow boat tour where you'll see lots of sand and the occasional starfish the sub is perfect.
If underwater critters are your thing buy/rent snorkel gear.
Also, Kona Big Wave Golden Ale literally translates into "Equine + Piddle" or horse piss in Polynesian.
Used to live on Oahu, and here currently for a short vacation myself.
Personal Opinion - Maui is beautiful, but expensive compared to Oahu. Not to mention, the lack of diversity that you see on other islands, but that’s another conversation. I wasn’t impressed.
Get with me and I can give you some insights. option240, Palama, and MC808 from BOTL all live on Oahu. There’s a Crowned Heads event coming up soon. Ask MC808 about info - he’s also the head of R Field at Foodland and the Beretania location is the place to stop at. Also, Fujioka’s Wine Times for cigars and booze while you’re on island.
What parts of the island you staying at (for both Maui and Oahu)?

plus the brewery is on the big island, wont be there
Most of it is actually bottled on the mainland and shipped in LOL. There is a “Kona Brewing” bad and restaurant in Hawaii Kai where you can sample most of it off the tap.
I’m headed to Big Island tonight!
... Make that three DON'Ts.
Totally forgot about that one. Mega huge ripoff. The food sucks and the price of a drink is outrageous.
Though, the wind surfing up the street is a must see (watching only). The waves and air they catch is fricken amazing.
For a killer view and better food give The Plantation a shot. Right on the course with a small bar towards the back.
I would say to also check out Longhi's on Front ST., but they closed this past March.
