Hawaii- Oahu
Oahu
The heartbeat of Hawaii
The third largest Hawaiian island, and probably the best known, is home to the majority of Hawaii’ s diverse population, and is a fusion of the past and present. From bustling city life to laidback surf towns, you’ ll have no end of fun discovering the many delights of Oahu. State capital and Hawaii’ s largest city, Honolulu is where you’ ll find world-famous Waikiki Beach. Whilst not the place for a peaceful holiday, this unique combination of tropical glamour and bustling international metropolis is definitely a must-see. Here you’ ll find a busy white sand beach, world-class shopping and amazing nightlife. It’ s also the birthplace of surfing, so why not book a lesson and learn how to hang ten?. Within half an hour of Waikiki is Pearl Harbour and its offshore shrine to the sunken USS Arizona, one of the USA’ s most significant WWII sites. Other top attractions include the Iolani Palace, a national historic landmark and only official royal state residence in the US; the extinct crater of Diamond Head, a popular hiking spot with panoramic views of Waikiki and Oahu’ s south shore; the North Shore, which includes Waimea Bay, a legendary surf mecca, attracting the world’ s best during the winter months; and Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve on Oahu’ s eastern tip, which is a top snorkelling spot with schools of glittering fish and sea turtles. From December to May humpback whales visit the warm Hawaiian waters and while there are many boat trips to watch them, they can sometimes be seen from south eastern spots like the scenic Makapu’ u Lighthouse. Oahu is a shopper’ s paradise too, with everything from open-air malls and high-end retailers to charming boutiques and surf shops. Honolulu is also the epicentre of nightlife in Hawaii, with good local food, live music and dancing in a variety of restaurants, bars and lounges.
