15 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.

Kids will appreciate attractions like USS Arizona Memorial and Kapiolani Regional Park. Escape the urban bustle at Waikiki Beach and Makapuu Lighthouse Trail. Explore Honolulu's surroundings by going to Ko Olina Lagoons (in Ko Olina), Sunset Beach Park (in Haleiwa) and Kailua (Lanikai Beach & Kailua Beach Park). There's much more to do: appreciate the views at Nu’uanu Pali, look for gifts at Honolulu Cookie Company, contemplate the waterfront views at Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, and see the interesting displays at Bishop Museum.
