O'ahu is known as "The Gathering Place" and is the most heavily populated of the Hawaiian Islands. The state capital of Honolulu located on O'ahu. O'ahu is home to world-famous Waikiki beach, which is overlooked by the peak of Diamond Head Crater. Over 5 million visitors per year visit Oahu, mostly from the mainland USA and Japan, dwarfing the island's year-round population of about 900,000.

What a beautiful island to visit! You definitely want to eat the pork! Enjoy your stay in one of America's secret getaways. There is so much to enjoy from hiking up Diamond Head to shopping at Ala Moana and enjoying the beach across the street. Try you hand at surfing, scuba diving, or snorkeling. You can party all night and then walk home in the sand, or attend a luau and learn how to cook a pig in an imu. It will be the best thing you ever put in your mouth and don't forget to try the poi!

Learn something about history by visiting Pearl Harbor or The Bishop Museum. Be sure to check out the only royal palace on American soil. 'Iolani Palace was home to King David Kalākaua and Queen Lili'uokalani during their reigns.
Also visit Windward side just for a taste of something besides Waikiki. Find a nice local and ask them to show you some hidden coves. Totally beats the crowded beaches near the city. If you are visiting in the winter, head up to the North Shore to see the BIG SURF at Pipeline! The waves commonly reach 20 ft during this time.
