Creator's Key Takeaways

Aahu is the third largest of the islands by land mass, but it is the largest when it comes to population.

Maui is the quintessential honeymooner's island. Uh it's often known as the honeymoon isle.

The Big Island is so big that there are very diverse areas in it.

Aahu is my favorite island to visit.

Creator's Tips & Advice

✓If you don't want a car, you can absolutely get around Aahu without a car.

✓If you want to explore outside of Waikiki, it's useful to have a car.

✓If you go to Kauai, get a car.

✓If you want to go to some places on the Big Island, you will need a four-wheel drive car.

✓If you're looking for a dry, sunny beach vacation, you're not going to find as much of it in Kauai as you will in the other islands.

Driving on the opposite side of the road — If it's your first time, get on H1 and then get off on the 92, which is the local road that runs along the coast.
