Oahu - The Heart and Soul of Hawaii | Free Documentary Nature

The island of Oahu is the economic and cultural center of the Hawaiian archipelago, as well as being a paradise for surfers, active holidaymakers, and freedom lovers. The island is home to more than half of all natives and almost eight million foreign guests annually. Anyone searching for peace and seclusion won’t find it in Honolulu or Waikiki. Traffic congestion and a backdrop of skyscrapers belong to the town panorama. Hip cafes, galleries, and young fashion firms have settled here, adding a new and modern flair to the capital. Cindy’s Lei Shoppe, the Chinatown florist, has been here for more than 30 years. This is also because the so-called Leis, the tradition of floral decoration, usually offered as a flower necklace or as a headdress, is still an important part of Hawaiian culture. Keone Nunes is well-known for his traditional tattooing skills, whereby the so-called Kakau Tattoos are virtually hammered into the skin with a hippo tooth. Oahu is also an island of overwhelming natural beauty and fascinating diversity in the smallest of places ... Available Worldwide except for Germany, Austria, Switzerland #freedocumentary #nature

You literally would never wanna leave this island after visiting. Great people, cultural, and energy! An ENTIRE vibe.

From One Island to another Island, Aloha" from Puerto Rico. Many Love, and Blessings to all.

I spent a week in Oahu nearly 30 years ago. Thank you for bringing back some very happy memories of this beautiful island 😊

There is nothing that I need more than to see this place with my own two eyes.

I’m going to Oahu in two months in 2 months with my son. We’re super excited & counting the days. We’ve been watching videos nonstop and taking notes on what to do and what NOT TO DO to respect the island and the locals. Much ♥️ From Houston, TX

I love Hawaii and its culture. I’ve visited Oahu a few times but went to Maui for the first time this year and felt like it was an island made for tourists, though still beautiful. Resorts were everywhere and I didn’t really feel like I was in Hawaii, I compared it to being in Cape Cod. I love Oahu and its people. Visiting it has really changed my perspective and increase my respect for people in general and the world we live on. Sadly, I feel many investors and corporations are trying to take over the island that should be left to them.

I miss Hawaii just back a week ago! Beautiful paradise

The Islands are magical.

I lived on Oahu for 5 years, I miss it so much. Sometimes it feels like it was all a dream. I still say "Howsit", though.

Lived in Aiea, just outside of Honolulu in the early 80’s. Absolute best time of my life. One of my daughters was born at Queens Med Center. Would love to live there again, but couldn’t afford to. However, prices are getting so bad on the mainland that we could probably do as well there as here. lol

Lived on O'ahu for 18 years. Visited the other islands frequently. My work took me away eventually but I still think of it as my home.

I adore Hawaii, beautiful place, beautiful people

Paradise on Earth and the true Aloha Spirit. Beautiful!!!!!!!

lived there for 15+ years, moved to the mainland... can't wait to return after my travels , Hale sweet Hale~

Love Oahu. Lived there as a kid and have visited many times since. It is my second home, my happiest of happy place. Paradise.

Born and raised in Hawaii living there for 15 years and moving this year I loved every second of it and it is such a peaceful beautiful place my family had to move out because it was too expensive and not the best options for college and we wanted to be able to go other places and not be stuck on an island. I still love hawaii and will miss it dearly

Hawai is heaven on earth. I was lucky enough to move there in 1969 to attend university of Hawaii. lived in Honolulu at foot of Punchbowl

Felt more freedom there than most travels
