→O'ahu
== O'ahu ==
The main island, complete with international airport and the big city of Honolulu refereed to by the locals as "town". Hitching in or anywhere around Honolulu or Waikiki is extremely difficult. Lacking good positions, reasonable speeds and understanding locals, you're best to take a bus for $2.50 where you want to go, then when out of "town" do the thumb. Most hitchers are surfers trying to get between beaches and towns; not travelers, and mostly along the "North Shore".
== The Big Island ==
Thumbing around the Big Island can be heaps of fun especially since it is not as crowded with seasonal tourists as some of the other more frequented islands. Rides often come in the form of "Hop in the back bra" from locals driving large pick-up trucks. Rides can also be ways of getting to meet locals and avoiding being the Haole (a term used to describe foreigners and white people).
