13 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.

Deepen your sense of the past at sights like USS Arizona Memorial and Iolani Palace. Get some cultural insight at Battleship Missouri Memorial and Pu’u O Mahuka Heiau State Monument. Change things up with these side-trips from Honolulu: Kailua (Kailua Beach Park & Lanikai Beach), Ihilani Spa (in Kapolei) and Ehukai Beach Park (in Pupukea). There's lots more to do: enjoy the sand and surf at Waikiki Beach, identify plant and animal life at Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, get some jogging in at Ala Moana Beach Park, and explore the activities along Waimea Bay.
