Oahu
At the heart of O'ahu is
Honolulu and the world famous Waikiki Beach, a mecca for
sunworshippers. From the drama of Diamond Head, a long
extinct volcano, to the rugged scenery of the South Eastern Coast,
O'ahu
has much more to offer than just beautiful beaches of Waikiki.
O'ahu has
the largest population in the state of Hawaii and it follows,
therefore, that there is a higher concentration of hotels,
restaurants and activities centred here. The heart of the
island is Honolulu and Waikiki beach, a truly chic international
city and resort area, boasting world class restaurants with
virtually every cuisine represented. Combine this with superb
hotels, extensive cultural and recreational activities, exciting
nightlife and this is the taste of Honolulu.
Diamond Head, the dramatic backdrop
east of Waikiki offers the chance for hikers to climb to the crater
rim and view the panoramic view of Waikiki and beyond.
Travelling along the South Eastern Coast, visitors pass rugged
scenery which is punctuated by natural wonders such as Hanauma Bay,
Hanauma Underwater Park and Halona Blowhole, a spectacular
geyser. There are vantage points where, when the light is
right, Lanai and Molokai can be seen. Further along the
coast are the beach parks of Sandy Makapuu, a favourite with
bodysurfers. A fascinating glimpse of the colourful marine
life surrounding the island is provided by the sea life at Makapuu
Point.
On the west coast of O'ahu,
backed by the Koolau Mountains, is an area packed with countless
beaches. The Polynesian Cultural Centre set midway along the
windward coast gives an insight into other Polynesian cultures
including those of Tahiti, Samoa and Fiji. Further round
the coast leads you to the famous 'North Shore' - surfing capital
of the world and the historic town of Haleiwa. Haleiwa was
originally home to ancient Hawaiian communities that inhabited the
banks of the Anahulu stream. Hawaiian royalty spent the
summer months here enjoying the beaches and cooling trade winds, as
many visitors do today.
The islands that make up the
Hawaiian chain are all very different and each can offer a diverse
and distinct experience to the visitor. For more information
on all these beautiful islands, you can visit the official Hawaii
Tourism website, The Hawaiian Islands, for lots of advice
and interesting facts.
