For those looking for the beauty of Hawaii combined with a bigger city, Oahu is the destination for you. Hawaii's most visited island has so many things to do, you could spend your whole vacation there!
The famed Waikiki Beach is the pinnacle of the island. Two miles of beachfront is sprawled with hotels, the new Waikiki Beach Walk, and is great for people watching and all-day entertainment. The new Waikiki Beach Walk offers 5 hotels, and over 50 new stores and restaurants.
For the history buff, Oahu offers some incredible options. Of course, Pearl Harbor is open during renovation (2010 completion), the Bishop Museum offers quite an array of Hawaiian artifacts and history, and even Polynesian Adventure Tours is offering a Presidential Tour for President Obama fans.
To get the lay of the land in Honolulu, we suggest a 2-hour Ohana Walking Tour. Expert tour guides, who have graduate level knowledge of Hawaii's past and current issues, will stroll you through Honolulu's premier landmarks and attractions.
If you're looking for more adventure, try your hand at Hawaii's only working ranch, the Kualoa Ranch. Single, half day, and full day packages are available and include horseback tours (even for the little ones), ATV Tours and a gun range. The ranch and the surrounding Ka'a'awa Valley are known for their place in great movies like Jurassic Park and Godzilla. Of course, there's a tour available for this too!
Of course, another great highlight of Oahu is the North Shore. If you're there in the winter (there's only big waves in the winter!), be sure to check out those world-famous waves!
