In today's video, we're gonna tour the entire island on this moped, so let's go!
Okay so before this video starts i wanted to jump in and apologize because i had some technical
issues so i was only able to record my first couple moped stops but i'm still going to release
this video show you the first half of the island and in future videos i'll show you some of the
other spots that i would have done that i would have shown you on this around the island trip
so i apologize for that by the way this is from my balcony here in Waikiki but let's jump into
this video is going on youtube greetings from the side of the road here in beautiful gorgeous
Hawaii in today's video we're gonna rent a moped and we're gonna go around the entire island the
purpose of that is not to stop and hang out anywhere it's to get the feel for the vibe of
the different areas of the island to see where you want to go the next day to park yourself because
there's so many cool spots to go here in oahu that if you don't get out of waikiki there's spots that
you're probably not gonna know even exist that you would have loved more than maybe waikiki so
i've already traveled from waikiki to here because we've done that in other videos but
you should recognize that big old mountain right there that's the hike i did the coco head railroad
trail hike actually there's people up there right now suffering trying to get to the top of that
thing so i figured that was a fitting place to start this video where we left off on the last
video so we're almost on the east side of the island you can see the road runs along there
there's a whole lot of motorcycles out here today because it's memorial day so all the veterans who
are in motorcycle groups are out riding around the island so the beaches are going to be pretty busy
but that's okay because the whole point of driving around the island is to scout out locations that
you're going to go hang out for a longer period of time in the future so this is a drive that
you have to do no matter what jump in your rental car jump on a moped head towards the southern and
eastern side of the island and you'll get this beautiful gorgeous drive right over there is
blow hole we'll stop there in a second but let's go ahead and jump on the moped and and do this
okay so this first stop is called blowhole and you've got beautiful views of a beach we'll stop
at in a second called i think that's sandy's right there it might be makapu but i think it's sandy's
and you'll see the water is just gorgeous here down there you have a blowhole
which is cool that's why all the people stopped to see the blowhole
i showed you guys this on a live stream the other day but you can kind of see here
and then when the waves come in it doesn't look like the waves are very high so you
might not get much below hole action here comes another swell maybe we'll get get one little pop
nah the waves aren't really big enough today but what people miss about this spot you got
the blowhole here and that's where you know all these people are coming over to at the same spot
is one of the most iconic beaches in hawaii because it was in a movie i think it's a
1950s movie from here to eternity so over there is where the beach is there's nobody even looking at
that beach over there which which is kind of crazy that used to be the really popular thing
in the 90s i guess because people knew that movie but this is also from the movie 51st dates
he's at this beach that's where like their first kiss is i think but yeah so this beach right here
is called eternity beach because it was in the movie from here to eternity and this to me is much
cooler than blowhole but everybody will go over to blowhole yeah so it's like freaking bath water
down there like i said we're not stopping and like hanging out at any beaches today the whole point
of today is to get around most of the island to see all the spots for possibly going to in the
future and staying longer gets you really familiar you know like i mentioned it's a great way to
do it do you notice i got i don't have a black shirt on today this is moreno by unbound moreno
but uh it's a red one it's one of my only non-black shirts i have two no i have three
non-black shirts you don't see them in videos very often but uh let's head to the next spot
all right so this next stop is sandy's uh this is the beach i used to hang at out at my younger days
it's notorious for crazy crazy short break it's a pretty dangerous beach i was really into boogie
boarding back then and it was really cool for that although you got to be really careful and i'll
show you what i mean in a minute about shore break so this is sandy's you'll see it's all
there's no surfers here it's all boogie boarders or body surfers what's funny about
this beach is you would think you'd be okay because you're in really really shallow water
but when that shore break breaks on you you get caught in like a washing machine effect
and basically you're drowning in a foot of water i get really nostalgic at this beach this is where
me and my buddy alex used to come all the time back in the day
lost track of the foreign spent so many nights living out at sea that my heart is gone
and everybody was close to me all stayed on dry land
so now i'm driving back going in the state west i just gotta so just a quick stop for
another 50 first dates reference this is sea life park where henry from 51st dates worked
okay another little pit stop at probably my favorite beach i skipped over some of the
more popular beaches like wamanalla which is nice but there's a little known beach over here called
bellows air force base beach and a lot of people won't come here although since it's memorial day
today there's a lot of military people here but a lot of people don't come here because
they don't think they can use this beach because it's on a military base half of the beach is open
to the public on friday saturday and sunday so i highly recommend you come out here and check out
bellows the sand is silky silky white the water is blue the vistas are the vistas are amazing
you know what let me just go show you so most of the year this beach is pretty flat although
there's sometimes there's some decent boogie boarding here it's definitely really good for
learning how to boogie board or even surf when the waves are a little bit higher because
there's almost no reef here it's all like silky soft sand this is a very family-friendly beach as
well
so this is me at the exact same beach at almost the exact same location in 1995.
funny
it's just a gorgeous spot and like i mentioned normally there's not a whole lot of people here
but it's memorial day military people know about this beach and so of course they're here i've been
to this beach many times early on a friday or saturday and been the only person on this beach
with my buddies so it's just a it's a it's one of those little known hidden gems so kind of cool
okay so unfortunately this is where my equipment started to malfunction which really sucks because
we were just about to hit what i consider the most beautiful part of the island the upper
east part of oahu and the north shore but hopefully you got a sense of how cool it is
to rid a moped and just cruise around the island searching for beautiful spots to come back to
