11 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.

You'll discover tucked-away gems like Kailua Beach Park and Puu Ualakaa State Park. Get outdoors at Waikiki Beach and Nu’uanu Pali. There's much more to do: explore the different monuments and memorials at USS Arizona Memorial, admire the masterpieces at Honolulu Museum of Art, walk around Kapiolani Regional Park, and steep yourself in history at Battleship Missouri Memorial.
