It was nice we went to Honolulu and the most interesting thing we did was go to the ocean. My sister and I stayed so far out that my mom actually worried about us. We also went snorkeling and saw dolphins.

Always felt safe on all islands. Eaxh island had such a different vibe! Especially loved how accessible Oahu was with public transport. Still recommend renting a car to find the most beautiful spots! Maui was probably my favourite island, sunset over the clouds in the National Park, the Nature on the road to Hana and the hikes were amazing!

I went backpacking to Hawaii for one week. At first I went to the big island. The people there is really nice but you also have to be careful because there are a lot of crackheads. I stayed in a room for 50$ the first night and then I took a long bus to the volcano and did camping there for one night. It was really cool, chill and safe. After, I took a plane to Honolulu. Very touristic, I didn’t like it there that much but the water is amazing. I moved a little far away from the city to a house of one of my friends and stayed there for 5 days. I explored the zone, went hiking and surfing. Pretty nice people and really good food. A little bit expensive tho. Hawaii is a must place! At least for once in your life. I would love to come back and have time to explore more.

Traveling to Hawai’i felt very safe. The locals would help you with directions and food recommendations! I would recommend going to the tide pools or Makapu’u beach. :) I stayed in a shared room in Kailua.
