THE ISLAND OF OAHU

Home to the majority of Hawaiians, Oahu is known as the Gathering Place, or the heart of Hawaii. See the state capital to immerse yourself in local culture, a diverse mix of European, Asian and Native Hawaiian traditions. Experience a typical luau, or sample frosty shave ice and surprising fish-based dishes. Outside the city, Oahu offers scenic surf spots, remote beaches and breathtaking vistas.
 
Stay at Waikiki's only beachfront resort, which sits on 22 lush tropical acres. It has the widest stretch of white sand beach and boasts the best swimming pools and water slides in Waikiki.  Beautiful manicured gardens, exotic wildlife, and waterfalls are some of the unique attributes of this famous resort.

OAHU: THE “HEART OF HAWAII” SURFING: Located on Honolulu’s south shore, Waikiki Beach’s calm waters set the tone for a first-time surfing lesson. The North Shore’s bigger waves are perfect for more seasoned surfers, welcoming surf champions and the world’s most famous surf competitions.
PEARL HARBOR: The 1941 attack on Pearl Harbor by the Empire of Japan is what brought the United States into World War II. This US naval base is now a designated National Historic Landmark with a total of 5 memorial sites. The nearby Hawaii Plantation Village also invites a look into Oahu’s history of agriculture. 
​
LEAHI PEAK (DIAMOND HEAD): If hiking and taking in coastal views are on your Hawaiian to-do list, then reaching the top of Leahi Peak is a great way to get the best of both worlds. Waikiki and Honolulu are visible from here.
