16 days in Hawaii & Orlando Itinerary

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

You'll visit kid-friendly attractions like USS Arizona Memorial and Diamond Head State Monument. You'll find plenty of places to visit near Honolulu: Pu’u O Mahuka Heiau State Monument (in Pupukea), Kailua Beach Park (in Kailua) and Haleiwa (Sunset Beach Park & Waimea Bay). And it doesn't end there: tour the pleasant surroundings at Waikiki Beach, take a memorable tour with Tours, explore the activities along Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, and enjoy the sand and surf at Kapiolani Regional Park.
