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.
