Waikiki + Hawaiian Food | Oahu, Hawaii Day 3

[Music] day three on Oahu and we are starting the morning with sunrise at Laniakea Beach which is where we were yesterday and we saw the sea turtles no turtles yet but maybe they'll come out and say hi before we leave we're early birds were here for sunrise we normally get up at 4 a.m. the benefits of that is sunset there's always a bunch of people sunrise there's one lady over there for a little kid we're lucky it's very quiet it's quiet and relaxing so we have a big day planned with daylight savings we're trying to take advantage of as much sunlight as we can possibly get on the sunsets really early so we're gonna go do some fun things after this including coffee hiking features I'm gonna try a food I never thought I would try so stay tuned [Music] and now it's time for breakfast [Music] ie like blueberries strawberries and then we got was a banana coconut honey on the top I added strawberries to mind Adam added strawberries and blueberries so he's very very excited [Music] we're at brew and foam and I got a coconut macadamia nut latte with coconut whipped cream and it is unbelievable and it's delicious it's very messy I spilled it everywhere but the whipped cream is very good and the little bit I've actually tasted of the drink is very good as well highly recommend this place if you're on the North Shore [Music] all right we're at Diamond Head National Monument this is one of my favorite things in Hawaii it's a three hundred thousand year old crater just outside of Honolulu and there's a military base built onto it well a trail that they built up to the top with a fire control system the sign said it was an engineering marvel of its time so we're about to climb up to the top it's about 560 feet and should be a lot of fun I know it's gonna be a lot of fun so we got here a little bit later than we would have normally like to it's very busy you can see all the people at the top so we're gonna hustle oh no I'm gonna run into people and hopefully get some good views [Music] [Music] almost to the top and if these are insane [Music] all right we just made it down to the bottom compared to our hikes we normally do in Washington is pretty quick pretty easy there are a lot of stairs and there is an incline obviously because you're going to the top of a crater so if you don't used to hiking it might be a little hard I might get you too yeah it's pretty hot so bring some water you're exposed the entire time to the Sun but it was beautiful and even though there are a ton of people you recommend coming very early if you're gonna come here yeah earlier the better even with the crowds you can't beat the views from the top it's like it's a must-do when you're on all yeah it sure can't miss so one thing we failed to mention is parking in the admission fee for Diamond Head so there's you can park either before the actual visitors center trailhead area and walk in that's a dollar a person I believe and it's cash only or you could park at the Visitor Center which was full we got there but you just wait in a short line and we parked within like five minutes and that was about that was five dollars cash only and they had people directing you to spots and so no one's cutting and it's a very fair parking process so if you go to Diamond Head make sure you have cash with you and we recommend parking at the Visitor Center because you'll be a super close walk to the trailhead when you're in Hawaii you must listen to 93.1 pnina it'll put you in the island spirit it's just awesome Hawaiian music we listen to an entire time we're here check it out [Music] so I'm gonna start this off by saying that I am NOT an adventurous eater I really hate seafood I've tried salmon lobster I tried to quite a few different types of fish and I've never really enjoyed any of them it's a taste in a texture thing for me so I've never had polka and well for some people that's like one of their favorite foods and everyone thinks it's awesome for me it's kind of terrifying cuz it's raw and I don't even like cooked fish but I promise Adam I would try it on this trip so I'm gonna do it so this is my first ever bite that's okay I'm kind of scared but here we go I'm nervous okay so couple things I thought it wasn't much like come when you don't really fully cook a piece of chicken it's kind of tough and chewy I thought it was gonna be like that so it's very soft it doesn't really taste like fish so Adam you win cookies not Italian that's a big one I might eat it again I always tell her she's missing out on a whole world of flavor awesome food she needs to get on the train I'm about to devour this so yeah he's gonna finish it and maybe at another point on our trip I will get my own but I will I'm proud of myself eventually got my PO cave from oh no seafood supposed to be the best poke a and Honolulu there was a sign in there that said in 2015 it was rated number five places to eat top 100 places to eat in the US so super excited for this so I got the number one I don't know I think it's tuna ahi tuna so but I'm so hungry oh yeah that's all no mm-hmm the best that's really good the fish is awesome rice is great you got to come try it [Music] we are at why Ola shave ice we actually came to the wrong location there other locations super famous it has like well over 2000 reviews on Yelp but we came to this one on accident but there's really no one here so that's awesome Adam got Obama's rainbow with ice cream and condensed milk or snow cap and then I got pineapple and coconut ice cream also a snow cap we're gonna dig on it that is the softest ice I've ever had in my entire life if yesterday's shave ice was amazing but this makes that one feel like it's a chunk of ice is incredibly soft come here if you're in Hope in Ottawa viola shave ice delicious it's like a you're getting a cloud so good Obama's rainbow it's like Lara so soft next up on our stuff our face before we roll on to the beach tour is Leonard's bakery so normally I don't eat gluten I'm not celiac I'm just really sensitive to it so I stay away from it but when we came to a wall whoo five and a half years ago I didn't know this place existed and then I found out about it and I've been dying to try it ever since so I'm gonna regret this later but we're at Leonard's bakery home of famous malasadas and we bought two of them and I'm gonna have a bite and it'll be worth it I have a feeling they are hot and fresh out the kitchen and we got the cinnamon sugar and then we got a coconut filling I've missed you glutton to my first taste of gluten intentionally from in a very long time it is like a pillow Adam you got to get some of this it's so soft can I sleep on now can I sleep on this it's very good this place is so famous that if you were to Google where to eat in Honolulu it would come up so but even though it's very popular you should definitely come here don't skip it cuz do you think it's a tourist trap it's very good one more bite [Music] we just got free unlimited parking in Waikiki which is absolutely unheard of all the other Lots are like two-hour minimum or even like $40.00 the biggest minimal all right like hiki beats tons of spots available I feel like you're the only one here although it's really busy it's such a classic you kind of have to come here when you're visiting the island although we will say we do enjoy the more secluded beaches on the other areas to the island the view here is iconic you just can't really our long nap in the Sun time to go get in the ocean the water it's really nice before the waves are fun it's beautiful water holding it on for dear life we've just finished a gorgeous sunset it like you can be magical even with all the people is still very magical and we're now we're headed to Duke's which is our Hawaiian tradition so every time we come to Hawaii you go to Duke's to eat dinner or lunch listen here fifth time at Dukes we've been to Duke's on Oahu Maui and Hawaii and we've been to this location before and it's basically on the beach which is really awesome yeah we love it it's one of our favorite places it has like two sides to it it has a barefoot bar with tacos and burgers and nachos stuff like that and then I have a nicer side with steaks and nice cut some fish and all that stuff and we're gonna head to the barefoot bar outside nachos and some delicious dinner oh yeah we're very hungry so Dukes is so busy though they ran out of pagers so they told us to come back in like 25 minutes to get a pager and then I guess we'll wait even longer to actually at a table we're crossing our fingers it won't be too and it'll be worth it regardless so we're gonna get coffee and on our way to go get coffee we noticed our favorite little stand from the north sir has a spot here with the amazing bullet coffee so we're gonna go get some [Music] blackened cajun fish tacos I think it's grilled some kind of fish with no idea what it is come with chip wok Pico has like crema on it looks delicious oh and I got the cooler pork nachos which is like three times the size of my face it is huge Adam will be helped me finish this for sure that's a wrap on day three on Oahu so we are very full we're gonna roll back to our car go to bed we have a very early adventure tomorrow morning we're gonna be exploring the east side of the island which we haven't spent much time on in the past so we're super stoked [Music] with your phone stepping like you favor [Music] [Music]
