You could search the whole world over and never find another island like Oahu. It's an island of magnificent panoramas, ringed with white sand beaches, capped by
towering volcanic peaks, and in between the mountains and the ocean lies the playground of the Pacific.
Oahu is 'the gathering place.' It has more hotels, more restaurants, and more major attractions than all of the other islands put together. Our major city, Honolulu, is
here. So is the 'world's best beach' at Waikiki.
Honolulu is sophisticated, lively, and as breathtaking as the Banzai Pipeline. It has more in the way of arts, culture, and entertainment. It has an abundance of
galleries, nightclubs, and museums, a major zoo, aquarium, lolani Palace (the only royal palace on U.S. soil), Pearl Harbor, the Arizona Memorial... the list goes on
and on.
But the best of Oahu is its natural setting. No matter where you turn, there's a new vista waiting to be discovered. Miles of beaches. Dramatic peaks. Palm trees
swaying in the gentle tradewinds.
No other American city could offer you the opportunity to surf the world's biggest waves, snorkel a lagoon, hike into a dormant volcano, golf at a dozen
championship courses, and catch the sunset from a five-star restaurant. All within an hours drive of your hotel room.
The key to enjoying Oahu, as with most of the islands, is mobility. TheBus circles the island for less than a dollar. Or rent a car and get out to see the 'real' Hawaii...
the gentle waterfalls, and the craggy peaks. Discover the 'undiscovered' beaches. Boogey board at Makapuu. Ride a horse at Turtle Bay. Watch the surfers at the
Pipeline. Or sample a little fresh pineapple juice. Have fun! Get wet! This is Hawaii. It's an adventure!
