8 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.

Kids will enjoy Waikiki Beach and Kailua Beach Park. Get out of town with these interesting Honolulu side-trips: Haleiwa (Pupukea Beach Park, Sunset Beach Park, &more), Pu’u O Mahuka Heiau State Monument (in Pupukea) and Sea Life Park Hawaii (in Waimanalo). There's still lots to do: take an in-depth tour of USS Arizona Memorial, contemplate the long history of Iolani Palace, see the interesting displays at Bishop Museum, and enjoy the sand and surf at Kapiolani Regional Park.
