Oahu

Oahu is perhaps the most famous island because it contains Honolulu, the capital of Hawaii, and fabulous Waikiki, an international resort with hotels, shops, restaurants and 24 hour nightlife. It is nevertheless a remarkably compact resort, and easily escaped if you fancy a quiet relaxing time in the Hawaiian sunshine. The vast Kapiolani Park is nearby, and Waikiki Beach itself stretches a long way towards fabled Diamond Head. The beach was once the exclusive playground of Hawaiian chiefs and royalty and it was here that they honed their skills in the native Hawaiian sport of surfing in the gentle waves that comb the shore. From a royal playground, Waikiki has developed into a fun-packed resort with a glamorous atmosphere.

Oahu has much to offer, including its spectacular, rugged and unspoilt Pacific coastline, the cool green Koolau Mountains, Pearl Harbor, the Polynesian Cultural Centre and, naturally, the best water sports facilities in the world.
