Local charities for ocean or environmental/island conservation?

My husband and I love to get into the holiday spirit by supporting and spreading the word about local charities. This year we'd love to give back to local nonprofits or charities that support ocean conservation, environmental conservation, etc. Thanks!

Acupuncturist

Anyone know or use a life changing acupuncturist on the windward side (Kailua, Kaneohe, Waimānalo)? I’m sick of western medicine scratching their heads and throwing more useless meds at me with little help and terrible side effects. Did acupuncture on the mainland years ago and it was helpful. Would love to know if anyone has someone here they’ve gotten good results with. Mahalo!

Good local dinner spots

Have a friend in from the mainland, looking for ideas on where to eat dinner. Prefer something close to PH. I saw Restaurant 604 looks good. Any spots you recommend?

Recycling cardboard moving boxes

Just moved to the island and have a bunch of cardboard boxes the movers didn’t take and need to know where to dispose of them. Haven’t found a clear answer in terms of a location I can break down and drop all these off at. Any help appreciated. Thanks!

Restaurant/Bar suggestions for celebration!

We will be spending this weekend in Honolulu to celebrate my friend's bachelorette! I’ve put together a nice itinerary but would love some suggestions for breakfast/brunch, dinner, and bars!

For brunch/breakfast, we’re looking for: a lively vibe, ideally with live music, and a great view! For dinner/bars: We only have time to catch the sunset from a restaurant on one day, so after that, the view might not be as important. Instead, we’re looking for places with a great vibe and music, where people start dancing as well!

Here are the spots I’ve shortlisted:

  • The District / The Manifest

  • Duke's

  • Blue Note

  • Rumfire

  • Maui Brewing

  • Lulu’s Waikiki

  • Tiki’s Grill & Bar

Let me know if you have any tips/insights about these places. I haven’t been to any of them personally.I’m just going off recommendations from reddit/google :')

Found animals group

Aloha,
Found a puppy recently, pretty sure it was dumped since it was in a box next to a pile of illegally dumped garbage but want to make sure nobody is looking for it. Besides the humane society website, are there any facebook groups with lost pets posted? Or anything similar? I'm not going to advertise it just want to look if someone is missing their animal.

Snorkeling this week

I have relatives in town this week who want to snorkel. I was thinking Hanauma Bay, the sandbar at Kaneohe and maybe Turtle Canyon off Waikiki. And maybe spring for a boat tour that can take them offshore … Any recommendations for them? Mahalo!

Luggage Storage in/around HNL Options?

Hello, we've been unable to find reliable options so far. Has anyone got advice? We're looking to store enough luggage for up to 5-15 people, for up to a week in late December/early January. TIA!

EDIT Thanks, everyone, for your help. Second, let me say that I'm not the one traveling (it's my in-laws), so my bad for being kind of vague initially. Anyway, I have a bit more details so as to reason what they need.

They'll be traveling to Oahu for upwards of a week for on the tail end of a month in California. From Oahu, they're flying back to their final destinations in either Australia or the Philippines. Among the four 60 year old grandparents, four 40-ish parents, and young children, they'll have all their suitcases packed with way more gifts, toys, clothes, etc than what they flew here with. Maybe extra boxes full of stuff, too.

What they need is a place to secure the majority of it while they traverse around Oahu. No, they don't want to lug around all of it 100% of the time. No, they don't want to keep it at the various hotels they intend to stay at. And no, this isn't for anything illegal or odd - imported stuff is super expensive in Australia, so when they visit us they seriously bring back a crazy amount of it. Especially clothes, and since they have kids it'll be a lot.

Is Hawaiian drivers always drive so so slow?

Drive 25mph on Kam Hwy which limit is 35?

It's not the first time I saw those turtle drivers, I even saw one drive on H2 Left lane with 40mph, why are they doing that?

Malaekahana Beach Camping

Anyone have any info on when Malaekahana Beach Camping might open back up? They were supposed to open after construction back in summer, but it’s November and website hasn’t been updated. I know there are other camping options but we love this one!

Places on island to sell new/gently used clothing?

Aside from Platos Closet, are there any other consignment stores or establishments on island that purchase clothing?

I sell some of my own clothes and a small inventory of thrifted items on Poshmark, but they fucked over their sellers/buyers with bogus fee increases that they have since walked back (still had a huge ruin on their reputation tho and selling has been extremely slow). I’m wanting to get rid of a lot of the clothing I’ve held on to because I’m not passionate about reselling as I was previously was and its just taking up space.

Hard money lending Oahu

Does anyone know anyone that will lend money for a short term if collateral is given as security?

Don't want to get a loan from a bank or online offers.

I only need the money for 1-2 weeks then will return it to you with interest. Funds needed is 16k.

Looking to practice Japanese

I’m interested in learning Japanese and been doing it through self study. I wanted to meet some other people to practice speaking with, which is hard because I’m not affiliated with a college or anything formal like that. Do you have any suggestions on where I could meet people with whom I could practice Japanese? My Japanese is probably the 201 level at a university. Thanks a lot!!
