Рекомендации для путешественников
Транспорт
Rent a car
Uber is somewhat limited and public buses run very infrequently even though there is a stop within walking distance of our house. The island is very big with many remote areas to explore so renting a car is the best way to get around.
Обычаи и культура
Show the Aloha
Be kind and friendly and visit with a humble attitude and the island will return the Aloha to you. Things are slower here so just expect to be patient and enjoy life. During traffic, cars may flash their lights and allow you to pull out or turn in front of them. Give a Shaka or wave back in thanks.
