  1. We always fly Hawaii Air even if it costs more. From the time you take your seat, you feel like your Hawaii experience has started. Great video. Mahalo for sharing.

    1. Excellent video. It’s all about respect and appreciating the natural beauty we all travel so far to see and enjoy! 🌸 we so look forward to our next visit and learning more about the beautiful islands and rich culture!

      1. Nice video. We got to Maui yesterday. We’ve been here many times and we try to be decent tourists. We are going to participate in the Marine Debris Collection Day on Sat. Sept. 18th with the Pacific Whale Foundation. We found that there are a lot more food trucks to choose from. We appreciate the tram from the airport to the rental car facility.
        We have always felt that we were helping fellow Americans by coming here and spending our money, rather than go to Jamaica or Bahamas, etc where they are nice to your face but they just want your money. We love Hawaii. Mahalo

  2. I liked the video and no it doesn’t change how I’ll visit. It’s how we travel to the islands (anywhere really). We do see tourists behaving badly and it’s sad really. I think it’s part of the entitlement and “me first“ culture that seems so prevalent. Hopefully this video will give some to be more mindful and that would be a good thing!

    1. A few people really do ruin it for the majority. I love snorkeling and always try to pick garbage out of the water when I see it. I find so many pieces of lego in there I can almost build a house.

  3. This is how all people should think about the environment both in Hawaii and at where ever they call home.
    Wonderful video.

  4. “We thank Hawaiian Airlines for taking a leadership role in educating visitors about how to respect and nurture our people and place, for the well-being of our communities throughout the state.”

    What a joke.

    I have seen the 8 burned out cars on the way to Lahaina. Tourists didn’t do that.

    I have seen the sheer amount of homeless and trash strewn all over Wailuku, Kahuluhi, and Lahaina. Tourists didn’t do that.

    I have seen a restaurant in Maui tell locals the wait was 15 minutes. But when the white couple asked, it was a 40 minute wait. Tourists should be taught to respect the culture

    As a Native Hawaiian, it sickens me to be lectured about Aloha, aina, and malama-lama-ding dongs. Hawaii and the Hawaiians need to clean their own house, before blaming/lecturing/educating tourists.

    1. I agree. Tourists don’t abandon vehicles. It seems to have gotten worse in the past few years. I do hope people keep it beautiful.

  5. I practice all that was explained. I live in Kona part time and want to see the islands keep their beauty and culture.
    Thank you for posting this video. Very informative and a reminder for all.
    I think this video should have been in place years ago. But, it’s here now and I sure hope people learn from it.

  6. That was one of the best depictions of what makes Hawaii (and Hawaiian) special that I have ever seen.
    Fantastic, the beauty and Aloha of our the islands still lives and will survive these times!

  7. Much needed for when people come to our home.
    More importantly other airlines (especially SWA) need to follow suit so we have less instances that we had this past summer.
    I’m tired of hearing the “I didn’t know” excuse.

    1. Chris, that’s why I always try and fly on Hawaiian….the money spent on a ticket goes back to Hawaii and supports Hawaii…..as you said about SWA, that ticket money goes back to their HQ in Texas
