About Oahu
Oahu pairs Waikiki's famous beach and Honolulu's city life with volcanic craters, rainforest valleys and the legendary surf of its North Shore.
Waikiki's crescent of sand, backed by hotels and the volcanic crater of Diamond Head, is the island's classic image, and the hike to the crater rim gives sweeping views. Downtown Honolulu holds ʻIolani Palace, home of Hawaiʻi's last monarchs, and the memorials at Pearl Harbor, including the USS Arizona Memorial, recall the attack of 1941.
Top-ranked sights in Oahu: Diamond Head, Waikiki Beach, Dole Plantation.
