In this video, I am going to share with you all the amazing things to spend your time exploring and doing with your friends or family while stationed in Hawaii. My family and I are currently stationed here and have spent two years exploring the islands of Hawaii, mostly Oahu, to make the most of this duty station. No matter your military branch, this video goes through things no one else talks about.

Starting with all the things that are just like home. You will find hunting, fishing, 4x4ing, jeeping, dirt biking and amazing shopping. Oh and don't forget the water park, Wet'n Wild! You will be surprised at all you can still find on this tiny island!

Then we will go into all the free amazing unique things to the island. Starting with hiking, snorkeling, surfing, and special places you can go to such as Waimea Valley, Byodo In Temple, and Botanical Gardens.

Last we go into the touristy excursions such as Koulua Ranch, Polynesian Center, Luau, Shark Diving, and Shark Cage experiences.

🪖 If you are new to our channel, John re-enlisted in the military after being out for ten years. Kind of crazy. But John was a Marine and he loved the Marines. Afghanistan Veteran. The only reason he got out was for me. Back before online jobs or school, he gave up the Marines and allowed me to start my career. I had an amazing career spending years growing and working with Target as a Store Director. But with Covid came many changes. One of those was to stay home and homeschool Alexandra. And so it opened the door for John to do whatever he wanted to do. He re-enlisted, but this time we both agreed on the Army. But after being out so long, John had to go through Basic training again or OSUT. Six months of that followed by waiting for command sponsorship for our first OCONUS move and the family has been apart for 10 months. Crazy considering this wasn't a deployment. But we made it! We are now stationed at Schofield Barracks in Hawaii for the next 2 to 3 years and feel truly blessed to be here!
