Oahu - The Gathering Place

Of all the Hawaiian Islands, Oahu is probably the most well-known.   Oahu is known as "The Gathering Place" and for good reason.  Honolulu Airport is the starting point for many visitors to Hawaii, whether they plan to stay only on the island of Oahu or venture to the other islands of Hawaii.

Oahu has many things to see and do.  Honolulu offers culture and museums, galleries, botanical gardens, Chinatown, and an array of dining options available.  The University of Hawaii is located in Honolulu.  Waikiki is a popular hotspot for clubs, crafts, even hula lessons.  Every Friday the Hilton Hawaiian Village has a fireworks display.  And don't forget to visit Diamond Head!

Along the Windward Coast are some of the best beaches such as Waimanalo Beach, Lanikai and Kailua Beach.  The North Shore is home to legendary surf beaches and to the Polynesian Cultural Center.  In central Oahu visitors can explore Pearl Harbor or why not try the Pineapple Garden Maze at the Dole Plantation, which is the world's largest maze, certified by the Guinness Book of World Records.  These are just a few of what visitors can see and do on the island of Oahu, The Gathering Place.
