6 days in Oahu Itinerary

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

Escape the urban bustle at Koko Crater Railway Trail and Sharks Cove. Explore hidden gems such as Makapuu Lighthouse Trail and Skydiving. Step out of Honolulu to go to Haleiwa and see Waimea Valley, which is approximately 54 minutes away. Next up on the itinerary: pause for some photo ops at USS Arizona Memorial, kick back and relax at Kapiolani Regional Park, contemplate the waterfront views at Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, and look for all kinds of wild species at Wildlife Areas.

Phoenix to Honolulu is an approximately 8.5-hour flight. Traveling from Phoenix to Honolulu, you'll gain 3 hours due to the time zone difference. Plan for a bit warmer temperatures traveling from Phoenix in November, with highs in Honolulu at 84°F and lows at 72°F. On the 27th (Sat), wrap the sightseeing up by early afternoon so you can travel back home.
