Side Note
please don’t touch the sea turtles (honu) or monk seals, don’t take home lava rocks or black sand from Hawaii (it’s considered to be bad luck), jaywalking will result in a fine if you’re caught by police, you can’t double up on a moped, aggressive driving isn’t taken kindly (people barely honk their horn), be respectful of ancient Native Hawaiian sites (if you see rock mounds called pono don’t touch them), hula is an expression of local culture and tradition and shouldn’t be mocked
