2. Island of Oahu

3. Oahu
• Sometimes called “The Gathering Place,” Oahu certainly lives
up to its name. The third largest Hawaiian island is home to the
majority of Hawaii’s diverse population, a fusion of East and
West cultures rooted in the values and traditions of the Native
Hawaiian people. It’s this fundamental contrast between the
ancient and the modern that makes discovering Oahu — from
bustling city life to laidback surf towns — so enjoyable. You'll
find plenty of different options for exploring Oahu's different
regions, the island's many activities, its eclectic restaurants and
accommodations.

4. Oahu
Weather
• Oahu is generally drier on the Leeward Coast (west) and wetter and
greener on the Windward Coast (east). The resort area of Waikiki and the
surfing mecca of the North Shore offer pleasant weather year round. Big
wave surf season on the North Shore begins in November and ends in
February. World-class surfing competitions also happen here between
November and December. During the summer, the big waves of the North
Shore subside for ideal beach going conditions.
• As with all the islands, Oahu does see a bit more rain during the winter
months, especially on the leeward (east) side. Typically, showers are
scattered and the sun quickly returns after a brief rain storm. Plus, there's
the added benefit that rain keeps the island nice and lush. Not to mention,
winter is prime whale watching season.

Regions of the Island of Oahu

6. Oahu
Honolulu
• If Oahu is the heart of Hawaii, then Honolulu is its racing pulse.
In this cosmopolitan capital city, you’ll find everything from
historic landmarks to fine dining to world-class shopping.
Home to the majority of Oahu’s population, Honolulu stretches
across the southeastern shores of the island, from Pearl Harbor
to Makapuu Point, encompassing world-famous Waikiki Beach
along the way.

8. Oahu
Central Oahu
• The most important landmark in Central Oahu sits to the south in historic Pearl Harbor, the largest natural
harbor in Hawaii. This active naval base is home to five Pearl Harbor Historic Sites that you can visit: The Pacific
Historic Parks, the USS Battleship Missouri Memorial, the USS Bowfin Submarine Museum & Park, the Pacific
Aviation Museum and the USS Oklahoma Memorial. These special monuments commemorate the historic
events that changed the course of history during World War II.
• The fertile central valley between the Waianae Mountains and Koolau range offers a peek back to Oahu’s
history. Agriculture on the island was booming in the late 19th century, attracting immigrants from around the
world to work on plantations. On your way from Honolulu to the North Shore, you’ll pass the Leilehua Plateau in
Wahiawa and see sprawling fields of pineapples. Get a closer look by stopping at the Dole Plantation, where you
can learn about the spiky-but-sweet fruit’s legacy on Oahu and cool down with a delicious frozen Dole whip
treat. Kids will love running through the huge three-acre shrub maze. At the Hawaii Plantation Village, explore a
living history museum of restored and replica sugar-cane plantation homes to get a sense of how people lived
and worked more than 100 years ago.
• In Central Oahu, you can also take a tour of famous Aloha Stadium, home of the University of Hawaii Warriors as
well as many other events throughout the year.
• At this time the USS Arizona Memorial is closed to visitors until further notice

10. Oahu
Leeward Coast
• The sunny and dry Leeward Coast of Oahu lies at the foot of the Waianae mountain range just 30
miles from Waikiki, but the contrast between the regions is striking. Where Waikiki offers urban
hustle and bustle, the Leeward side of Oahu is less developed, with picturesque towns, beautiful off-
the-beaten-path beaches and rural landscapes to explore.
• If you plan to stay on the Leeward Coast, you’ll have two major resorts to choose from in the
beautiful Ko Olina resort area. Home to the luxurious Four Seasons Oahu and Aulani, A Disney Resort
& Spa, this 43-acre marina offers stretches of postcard-worthy shoreline with ample opportunities for
water sports and championship golf. Other fun and family-friendly attractions in the area include the
Paradise Cove Luau and the Wet n’ Wild Hawaii water park. Local beaches include Makaha Beach,
one of the first spots where surfers began big wave surfing, and Yokohama Bay.
• At the very end of the road, you can hike to Oahu’s western-most point at sacred Kaena Point for
incredible Pacific Ocean views. If you hike to Kaena Point, be sure to stay on the trail because the
area is also a bird sanctuary, and bring water and other supplies with you because the remote area
doesn’t offer amenities. Leave no trace, and pack out whatever you brought with you in order to
respect the land and maintain the pristine natural area for others.

12. Oahu
North Shore
• If the perfect wave exists, you’ll find it on Oahu’s North Shore. The towering, glassy winter waves of this
legendary surf mecca draw the best surfers in the world, while smaller and gentler summer waves are better for
beginners. Stretching for more than 7 miles, the beaches of the North Shore host the world’s premier surfing
competitions during the peak winter months, including the biggest of them all, the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing
(November - December). Waimea Bay, Ehukai Beach (Banzai Pipeline) and Sunset Beach are great places to
sunbathe and stroll along the shore—just leave surfing the huge waves to the pros because they can be very
dangerous for inexperienced surfers.
• The months between November and February are the best times to see big wave surfing. The massive waves
can sometimes swell up to thirty feet or more—dangerous even for experienced surfers—so always heed
warning signs. From May to September, the waves subside, creating a more tranquil atmosphere for surfing and
swimming.
• Roughly a one-hour drive from Waikiki, the North Shore is also home to a variety of accommodation options,
including condo rentals and the exclusive beachside Turtle Bay Resort. Take a little road trip to the charming surf
town of Haleiwa Town, where you can shop, eat like a local and cool off with rainbow-flavored shave ice.
Continue your drive to Laie to visit the Polynesian Cultural Center and the old plantation town of Kahuku.

14. Oahu
Windward Coast
• As you drive over the sloping Pali Highway, skyscrapers and the sprawling city of Honolulu give way to lush
valleys and country landscapes. Exiting the tunnels east of the Koolau Mountain Range, it feels as if you’re
entering a different world and a turquoise ocean shimmers in the distance. A trip to the Windward Coast reveals
a slower-paced side of Oahu, and some of the most stunning natural beauty anywhere in Hawaii.
• From Kailua town, you can head in two directions. Go clockwise down the coast to Sea Life Park, Makapuu Point
Lighthouse and eventually Leahi (Diamond Head) and Waikiki. Or drive north spend a day exploring the
Windward Coast as it winds lazily around the island toward the North Shore, offering interesting stops along the
way, like the serene Valley of the Temples, which is home to a stunning Japanese Buddhist temple.
• Driving along the two-lane highway you can't miss Mokolii, the tiny island fondly known as “Chinaman’s Hat.”
Stop at the park and stretch your legs or have a picnic. Just across the highway you’ll find one of Hawaii’s most
seen but least-recognized locations: Kualoa Ranch. A generations-old family-owned ranch, its scenic valley has
provided the backdrop for countless movies and TV shows, including "Jurassic Park" and "Lost". Fortunately, it’s
not just for the stars; visitors can enjoy horseback riding, ziplining, ATV tours and host of other activities. From
here, Kamehameha Highway meanders past Kaaawa (“Ka-ah-ah-vah”), gentle Kahana Bay and around the
northernmost tip of the island to Oahu’s North Shore, home of the best surf spots in Hawaii—and some say—
the world.
