Insights & Aloha
I live on the mainland, but fell in love with the Hawaiian islands over a decade ago and have made lots of trips over the years. I’m so grateful for this podcast and how it combines fun things to do and eat, as well as insightful discussions on important topics. If I had my own podcast, I would want it to be just like this. It’s a wonderful balance of helping visitors to have the vacations, as well as learning how to be well informed and respectful guests. It’s also a great way for me to be able to stay informed about the places that I love and miss so much.
It’s in the title- HAWAII’S BEST!
I love this podcast!! We have family that live in North Shore, Oahu. We visit as much as we can, so friends and family are always asking for places to go or stay while planning their trip. I ALWAYS recommend this podcast, Bryan is not only super nice, but great at giving the best travel tips to Hawaii. Mahalo Bryan for this podcast, keep giving us all the secrets!
