Say Aloha to Oahu's Diverse Attractions and
Activities
By Lisa DiSpirito
Home to the capital city of Honolulu and world renowned
Waikiki, Oahu offers a diverse selection of attractions and
activities that range from historic sightseeing adventures to
snorkeling in crystal clear waters filled with vibrant tropical fish
and a variety of marine life. Other popular areas in Oahu
include the North, West and East Shores as well as the
Windward Coast. Whether you’re in search of a romantic
tropical vacation or want a thrilling family vacation, Oahu and
its many sides offers a wealth of options.
Nicknamed the "Gathering Place", Oahu is the third largest of
the Hawaiian Islands and combines romantic island getaways
with a bustling cosmopolitan city overflowing with activities.
There’s no better place to begin your tropical vacation in
paradise than in the historic city of Honolulu. Honolulu is filled
with Hawaii’s rich culture and history. The Bishop Museum
offers a fun-filled day with its collection of Hawaiian artifacts as
well as prestigious research facilities, the Hawaii Sports Hall of
Fame, traveling exhibits and a planetarium. While in Honolulu
be sure to spend some time at Pearl Harbor and the USS
Arizona Memorial and explore the site of the attack that
launched the United States into World War II. For an amazing
panoramic view of the harbor visit Aloha Tower which is one of
Honolulu’s most recognized landmarks that is also a great
shopping and dining destination.
South of Honolulu is Waikiki, which is known as Hawaii’s
playground, and offers world-class shopping, kid-friendly
beaches and some of the island’s most exciting nightlife.
Waikiki Beach is one of the most popular beaches in the world
and is a great destination for swimming, canoeing, surfing and
snorkeling. This two mile stretch of soft sand, umbrellas and
sand castles is lined with many of Hawaii’s most luxurious
accommodations. The Sheraton Waikiki is one of a few hotels
located directly on Waikiki Beach. With tons of daytime and
nighttime activities as well as some of the island’s finest dining
opportunities the Sheraton Waikiki offers a great escape for
families and couples. Enjoy elegant accommodations with
unbelievable views of the sparkling ocean and the Ko’olau
Mountains. A trip to Diamond Head will also provide an amazing
view of the Ko’olau Mountains as well as the outline of Molokai,
Oahu’s beautiful neighbor in the east. Diamond Head is the
most famous volcanic crater in the world and offers one of the
most breathtaking views ever seen.
Minutes away from Waikiki is Oahu’s east shore which features
one of Hawaii’s most dramatic stretches of coastline. The east
shore is a step away from the lively atmosphere of Waikiki and
a step towards a more laid back tropical experience. Hanauma
Bay is located on the east shore and is one of the world’s best
known marine sanctuaries. To the north of Hanauma Bay is the
popular Sandy Beach which is an ideal place for snorkeling,
kayaking and skim-boarding because of its calm waters all year
long. If high action water sports is what you crave then take a
trip to Oahu’s north shore which is considered a surfer’s
heaven. During the winter months Oahu’s north shores offers
some of the largest waves in the world. Waima Bay is the place
to go if your ideal vacation has you surfing monstrous waves.
Every year this popular surfing destination hosts the
Quicksilver Eddie Aikau Invitational, a big-wave contest. A
great way to get to the north shore from the east shore is to
travel along the scenic windward coast. The Kualoa Ranch is
located on the windward coast and is a great place to spend
an afternoon enjoying horseback rides, tours and ATV rides.
Kualoa is one of the most historically significant destinations on
Oahu and was one of the most sacred places on the island in
ancient times. A visit to this family owned and operated ranch
offers an experience unlike any other that combines Oahu’s
breath-taking natural beauty with exciting activities and
Hawaiian culture.
Surround yourself in Hawaii’s unique culture on the Oahu’s
west shore which offers warm sandy beaches and numerous
local shops and eateries. The west shore is easily accessible by
using TheBus. Oahu’s bus public transportion system. TheBus
runs between almost all towns and to most of Oahu’s popular
destinations. Fare for TheBus is US$2.00. There is a 4 day
TheBus pass available at most stores for US$20.00 but make
sure that you “scratch” it correctly before getting on the first
TheBus. If purchasing the 4 day pass there is a highly
recommended guide to TheBus that is available for US$2.95.
Oahu is the Hawaiian vacation destination that surrounds you
in the sweet scent of exotic flowers, unparalleled natural
beauty and a huge array of activities. With it’s great history,
arts and culture it’s easy to see why Oahu is one of Hawaii’s
most appealing vacation spots.
