Here’s a fun little video of my trip exploring Hawaii for the very first time. My family chose to get a rental car and explore the whole island after going for the first time. I definitely believe it is worth exploring the island then staying in the touristy area because when you explore the island, you really get a good feel for the culture and different types of beaches, they have. I highly recommend bringing some hiking shoes or lightweight breathable clothing because it does rain in Hawaii at least once a day and there’s a lot of walking involved.
