Oahu Island & Waikiki Beach Vacations

Known as “The Gathering Place”, the Island of Oahu is the third largest island in Hawaii, and the most populous of all the Hawaiian Islands. Home of some of Hawaii’s best shopping, Oahu offers unique boutiques, specialty jewelry stores, and fine dining. The Royal Hawaiian Center in Honolulu offers three blocks of unique shopping just off the shores of beautiful Waikiki Beach. Or check out the Royal Hawaiian Center Cultural Events to take part in cultural programs to teach you how to strum a ukulele or dance the hula. Whether its lei making classes you seek, or a traditional Polynesian performance, the Island of Oahu will not disappoint.

The seaside skyscrapers of Waikiki Beach, the surf off of the North Shore, and quiet luxury Ko’olina make Oahu vacations world famous, but the memorial at Pearl Harbor, downtown Honolulu’s Iolani Palace and Chinatown, Bishop Museum, and the Polynesian Cultural Center also captivate travelers on Honolulu vacations. Beyond the Hawaii hotels in Honolulu, Oahu turns rural and beautiful Hanauma and Waimea bay beckon.
