10 days in Oahu Itinerary

In many ways much more Asian than American, Honolulu is Hawaii's largest city and its center of government, transportation, commerce, and tourism.

Get in touch with nature at Waikiki Beach and Kailua Beach Park. You'll explore the less-touristy side of things at Koko Crater Railway Trail and Lanikai Beach. Step out of Honolulu to go to Ko Olina and see Ko Olina Lagoons, which is approximately 36 minutes away. There's still lots to do: admire all the interesting features of Makapuu Lighthouse Trail, enjoy the sand and surf at Kapiolani Regional Park, stroll the grounds of USS Arizona Memorial, and appreciate the history behind Queen Liliuokalani Statue.
