With significant disagreement, it’s a fascinating topic. What is it that makes for a Hawaii tourist trap?
Timeshares are the biggest scam and not only in Hawaii
Good to know. I have never been there and your comment confirms what I already thought about it.
Please go out to the North shore across from sharks cove to the Foodland…they are stealing people’s money locals and tourists.. the prices are absolutely criminal price gouging.. please do a story on it it has to be exposed go out there yourself and check the prices.. i don’t know if you get money from them or not..if you do you should not accept anymore as they are criminals..That Foodland is stealing everyone’s money because they can..it’s the only place out there they have been doing it for decades.. it’s the ultimate tourist trap but it’s also a local trap as well… Please send a reporter out there and check the prices.. they will be sick to their stomach….Mark…
The biggest tourist trap and farce is the Polynesian Cultural Center. There is nothing authentic about it; look it up criticism of it and learn. Moreover, it exploits young Polynesians to rake in a lot of money for the Mormon church. It’s a zoo with humans on display.
Not surprised that somebody here would seek to defame the Church and criticize its mission to provide educational and work opportunities for young adults from across Polynesia. Let’s not forget that the Hawaiian Kingdom was overthrown and the language and culture has been under attack since then. The community that surrounds the Polynesian Culture Center has a rich history of perseverance, faith and pride in its historic relationship with the ancient Kingdom and the Kanaka Maoli/Hawaiin. It’s ok to not like the PCC; but let’s not devalue their devotion to the Polynesians Islands and their people.
Educate yourself. For example:

Rent a car for 2 days and explore! There is so much to see and do off the beaten path. Staying only at beach and bars of Waikiki, is such a disservice to the beauty you’ll find all around the island. Other beaches may not have groomed sand, but are so beautiful you won’t miss it. Take full advantage while visiting the Arizona but be sure to see everything else around it. It’s our history. Don’t miss the Diamondhead hike, North Shore, Pali overlook and driving up Tanlus as well. What a view. Spend a day at Bishop Museum. Why do chain restaurants. Taste what makes Hawaiian food so special. Do you really want to spend 4 hours indoors at a timeshare presentation? Talk to local people and find out what they love. And as always, respect the land.
