LOCAL VIBE

Local Lingo

Cruizin', or cruisin', is one of the most popular, highly used slang heard frequently throughout Hawai‘i. Mainlanders might think it means driving down a street as a recreational, social activity, but here, it’s the one word that pretty much sums up the laidback vibe here in the islands. Taken from the word “cruising,” to cruise means to have no stress, no worries, and nothing to do, but hang out. When you are cruizin' in the islands, you are as far from the day-to-day hectic lifestyle as you can get. You are without an agenda and free to live in the moment and just go with the flow— unplugged! While on vacation, kick up your feet and do as the locals—be cruizin'.
