10 days in Honolulu Itinerary

In many ways much more Asian than American, Honolulu is Hawaii's largest city and its center of government, transportation, commerce, and tourism.

Change things up with these side-trips from Honolulu: Turtle Bay Beach (in Kahuku), Pu’u O Mahuka Heiau State Monument (in Pupukea) and Haleiwa (Sunset Beach Park & Waimea Bay). The adventure continues: take in the pleasant sights at Diamond Head State Monument, explore the world behind art at Honolulu Museum of Art, head outdoors with Outdoor Activities, and enjoy the sand and surf at Waikiki Beach.
