9 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.

You've added CLIMB Works Keana Farms, Hoomaluhia Botanical Gardens, Mu Ryang Sa Buddhist Temple, and other attractions to your itinerary. Visit USS Arizona Memorial and Iolani Palace for their historical value. Step out of the city life by going to Diamond Head State Monument and Lanikai Beach. There's still lots to do: kick back and relax at Waikiki Beach, get to know the fascinating history of Makapuu Lighthouse Trail, see the vivid underwater world at Pele's Chair, and examine the collection at USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park.
