    I think renting a car would of passed you up where you visited though…So its a Toss up to me….

  2. Rudi Lapa on July 17, 2023 at 10:15 am

    Awesome! I would much prefer a decent bus system to crush hour on H1. I wanted to see what it would be like with the masking requirements, and it’s fine. Surprisingly uncrowded. $5.50 is a deal – it’s a cheap tour! And it has a bike carrier.
    Thank you!

  3. Anthony Riche on July 17, 2023 at 10:16 am

    Great video! The bus is a great bargain for getting around but like you said- time can’t be an issue. I think they also have an express bus that runs certain hours of the day to and from certain locations. My question is did you pay on the bus for the 1 day or did you prepay through the app?

  4. Case Douma sr on July 17, 2023 at 10:20 am

    Thank for the bus tour short ? .In 1998 my son and I Won a trip to Hawaii and 1st day took the BUS to see what was out there we stopped with car on north side?And found a farm that sold fresh shrimp (cooked ) sat at the table and ATE the whole Bucket so yummy good. Then in 2000 went back with girl friend and did the same and went to the big island both time’s fun trips ALOHA ๐Ÿ†โค๏ธ๐Ÿค”

  8. Stefa Jaden on July 17, 2023 at 10:23 am

  9. Spark _ on July 17, 2023 at 10:25 am

    " On time " ๐ŸšŒ !!! WOW !! Excellent !! I am thinking about taking my mom to Wikiki & Oahu the next January for her birthday ๐ŸŽ‚ celebration ๐Ÿพ!!! My mom lived there briefly in her early 20’s ! I’ve been to Hawaii w/ her & separately before 5 , 6 times total !! But,it’s been a long time ever since !! I personally hate renting cars ( although I love driving & I am an excellent driver !! ) ,especially in a foreign country ,or a place I don’t know so well & their traffic laws !! Lol .I have never driven there ! Driving in L.A.is enough for me ! Lol.She has developed a mobility issue ,so busses will be a good choice for her !! And it’ll save my $$ !! Lol Thank you so much for this one !! ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿ‰๐ŸŽค๐ŸŽถ๐Ÿโœˆ๏ธ๐ŸšŒ๐Ÿ’ž

    What are your recommended spots for sunsets? Thank you!

  11. pamela rief on July 17, 2023 at 10:27 am

    you two are so happy and living life so well together! Thank you for sharing the simple pleasures and also so much everyday Oahu scenery. (The jumping, in the beginning, was a tiny bit dizzying but well worth it. ๐Ÿ˜€

  12. sivalai kringle on July 17, 2023 at 10:28 am

    I bought 1 moth pass for 70 $ you can use all the route, More than that for life time bus pass 280$ I want to do youtube and show you all around the island ๐Ÿ™‚ Since the gas price is up!!

  13. Isabelle Thanasack on July 17, 2023 at 10:30 am

    so they have an app that has the bus routes and times? we are going to honolulu next week and it is really difficult to get a car so we are really considering the bus haha

  14. Flourish on July 17, 2023 at 10:31 am

    Always have an umbrella in hand in Hawaii, the random raining will catch you off guard. ๐Ÿ˜€

  15. Cessnagirl on July 17, 2023 at 10:31 am

    Do you buy the pass on the bus?

  16. It's Bishop Innit on July 17, 2023 at 10:32 am

    I’ve been Living here for a few months now, lol I have bus anxiety

  17. Spark _ on July 17, 2023 at 10:33 am

    I know ! It’s not for 1st timers ,or someone wanna go around the whole island ,or get the most …,but busses are ways to get to a few locations at the cheapest expense on a day & people like us who have already been there before & just wanna get to a couple of specific destinations besides walking around & staying in one area mostly.Also ,busses allow us to do more sightseeing if we get the right seats !! Lol ๐Ÿ’œ๐Ÿฅ๐Ÿ‰๐ŸŽค๐ŸŽถ๐ŸšŒ๐Ÿ’ž

  18. Kathlyne Markham on July 17, 2023 at 10:33 am

    The bus looks super fun MAHALO ๐ŸŒบ๐ŸŒบ๐Ÿค—๐Ÿค—โ™ฅ๏ธโ™ฅ๏ธ

  19. Ann Chee on July 17, 2023 at 10:33 am

    Sounds like a fun rude and scenic too.
    What # bus and does it say All Around Island bus?

  20. Deborah Schaub on July 17, 2023 at 10:33 am

    Last I heard itโ€™s $65 A MONTH for DA BUS pass

  21. SUSHI CHEF on July 17, 2023 at 10:35 am

    Thank you for honestly telling us the truth

  22. Wandy Gonzalez on July 17, 2023 at 10:36 am

    The bus does sound cheaper then renting a car. But all those stops really just wastes your time.

  23. Son Dang on July 17, 2023 at 10:37 am

    You two make good couple.

    I saw you flew a DJI drone. I assume you can fly anywhere at beaches, yes?

  24. GK edits on July 17, 2023 at 10:37 am

    Yes its really accessible but the only downsides are the bus stops if there was a security guard by every stop then ig itll be safer for riders AND drivers

  25. Diamond Doom on July 17, 2023 at 10:40 am

    Visiting Honolulu next week and your video made me feel at ease. Your adventure looked like fun. Enjoy flying your drone. Saludos from Los รngeles, CA โœŒ๏ธ

  26. Mattโ€™s B autism adventures on July 17, 2023 at 10:41 am

    Does it stop at the cruise port where carnival docks

  27. Ellie Woods on July 17, 2023 at 10:43 am

    Great video! Do the buses offer a whole months pass?

  28. Erika Castillo on July 17, 2023 at 10:44 am

    Just to confirm , I am visiting Waikiki, all I would have to do is get on the nearest bus to be able to get a day pass right ?

  29. Justin Petty on July 17, 2023 at 10:45 am

    Whats that app called?

  30. Alexis Marquez on July 17, 2023 at 10:47 am

    When you guys got off at Sea Life Park, you were in Waimฤnalo. That is my hometown… The beach is Makapuโ€˜u and Kaupo Bay, Manana Island.

  31. Kristen Smith on July 17, 2023 at 10:48 am

    Are the buses wheelchair accessible?

  32. Naz Vel on July 17, 2023 at 10:49 am

    Thanks for the info

  33. Santos Murorodriguez on July 17, 2023 at 10:50 am

    Thanks for the info

  34. PongLangYan on July 17, 2023 at 10:53 am

    Nice Video guys. I’m returning to the US in April since my Fiancรฉ has to take her CPA exam, and she can’t take it in Hong Kong.. I’ve been thinking about moving to Hawaii for a couple months.. and I’ve been wondering is it worth it to buy cheap car, or can I get buy just using the bus.

  35. hawaiiguy1 on July 17, 2023 at 10:54 am

    so sad to seeat 8:16 mark that Kaneohe Bakery will be closing on March 28th due to coronavirus economy devastation…almost 70 years in business…

  36. sweet it is on July 17, 2023 at 10:55 am

    flying a drone is not illegal there where u fry ur drone?

  37. Bus&Stuff on July 17, 2023 at 10:56 am

    Actually,you can actually ride all the way to North Shore too, not just Kaneohe (take route 60, Kaneohe – Haleiwa)

  38. MellowChello on July 17, 2023 at 10:57 am

    I loved this!!!!! Iโ€™m thinking about being my umbrella even though it will be September

  39. FredParc on July 17, 2023 at 11:00 am

    Great video! I know the bus requires exact change, but can you buy multiple tickets at once for your family? That is, we want four day passes, which totals $22. Can I just pay $22, or do I have to pay $5.50 four times?

  40. Rebekah Hano on July 17, 2023 at 11:01 am

    How much is a one way ticket?

  41. Carmelo Farruggia on July 17, 2023 at 11:02 am

    are busses available on Holidays? Like the 4th July?

  42. Iron Lady on July 17, 2023 at 11:04 am

    Weโ€™ve taken the bus every time we visit waikiki… now one way$2.75 to waikiki from airport and its abt one hour … weโ€™be also used the bus to just ride and go all around d island… hotel parking is expensive at $35 a night so bus for us is the best and day pass if i recall is around $5 a day… yes bus is slow on wekeends…our fave poke place is in waikiki Maguro Brothers… Foodland is good as well

  43. RicardoA BH on July 17, 2023 at 11:06 am

    Do the bus have an app to check itinerary?

  44. Llewellyn Kamalani on July 17, 2023 at 11:11 am

    The easiest way to get to your destination on The Bus is to open your maps app on your iphone and enter your destination you want to go to and press directions and you can see there is a choice to either drive, walk or transit aka (use The Bus) and press on transit and it will show you the nearest bus stop you need to walk to, where to stop the bus if you need to get on a connecting bus aka (a different bus that will take you to your destination), the best way to do it, the fastest route and busses to take and so much more information you might need

  45. Cori Marie on July 17, 2023 at 11:11 am

    Can you take The Bus from the Hyatt Regency Waikiki to the Dole Plantation?

  46. OceanBree_ze on July 17, 2023 at 11:11 am

    I would still try to do this just for a day though. For a week vacation, why not. Thanks for sharing Lisa and Josh!

    Random question…I’ve noticed both of your teeth are super white! Do you have any specific toothpaste or products that you use?
