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 a sense of the local culture at Makapuu Lighthouse Trail and USS Arizona Memorial. Get outdoors at Koko Crater Railway Trail and Kailua Beach Park. Get out of town with these interesting Honolulu side-trips: Lanikai Beach (in Kailua) and Ko Olina Lagoons (in Ko Olina). The adventure continues: enjoy the sand and surf at Waikiki Beach, stroll around Kapiolani Regional Park, look for gifts at Crack Seed Store, and explore the activities along Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve.
