Oahu is famous for its beaches, but there’s so much more to do while you’re there. Here is a list of the top 5 things to do while visiting Oahu.
one. Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach:
If you like to be dazzled, take the 1.4-mile hike to Diamond Head. This is a 150,000 year old dormant volcano crater. British sailors thought it was studded with diamonds, hence its name. Take in the incredible views of Waikiki Beach and the elegant hotels along the shoreline. If hiking isn’t your thing, you can take a helicopter tour that will fly over Diamond Head and Waikiki Beach, as well as Pearl Harbor, the Arizona Memorial, hidden rainforests, valleys, waterfalls, and cliffs in Nu’uanu. Valley.
two. North Coast
Oahu’s picturesque north shore has become a mecca for big wave surfing. Waves up to 50 feet and surfers with more skill than sense put on quite a show at Waimea Bay, Sunset Beach and the Banzai Pipeline.
3. Hanauma Bay
Many refer to this as one of the most perfect beaches in the world. It is situated in the crater of a submerged volcano, giving it calm, clear waters that are ideal for snorkeling, diving, swimming, or just hanging out in the sun.
Four. Dolphin Encounter
Swimming with the dolphins. Of course, this is available in many places, but the Hawaiian setting makes it even more memorable.
5. Golf
The Ko’olau Golf Club is located at the base of 2,000 feet. the high Pali Mountains overlooking the Pacific, is without a doubt one of the most incredible places to play a round of golf.
6. Pearl Harbor and USS Missouri
You can’t help but be amazed at the honor, valor, and bravery of WWII American servicemen on a visit to Pearl Harbor and the “Might Mo.”
You can also visit Dole Plantation and take the Pineapple Express train, attend a celebration of Hawaiian dance, song and culture at the Polynesian Cultural Center, or take a hike through the rainforest.
