The heart of the islands of Hawaii, Oahu has been blessed with beautiful weather, a fantastic port, mountains and almost everything else the other islands are known for (except the active volcano!). There are so many activities and adventures to enjoy on this vibrant, bustling island where on one side there is most of the population, businesses, restaurants and night life and on the other, sleepy little towns and countryside most visitors are amazed to find.
Oahu is home to many award-winning restaurants and for those who love to eat, what could be better than a gourmet dinner tour, featuring courses at three different top restaurants; or join a guide for a "hole in the wall" lunch tour to see where the locals eat. Then there is under the ocean and an opportunity to see all sorts of sea life and coral formations, perhaps with a moray eel or two lurking in the coral, exotic tropical fish, sea turtles, adorable puffer fish or even the elegant manta ray.
You could also opt for a sunset dinner cruise, from a basic one to a deluxe one. Sailing off the coast of Waikiki in the evening is worth the cost alone. Seeing the lights cascading down the ridges of the Ko'olau Mountains as well as the glitter of the hotels along the beach is an unforgettable sight. If you're young at heart, enjoy a fun daytime cruise that features snorkeling, an ocean water slide for lots of wet and wild fun.
Go back in history with tours of Arizona Memorial, one of America's greatest tributes to those who died in service of their country. Choose another longer tour that includes not only the Arizona Memorial but the USS Missouri, on whose deck the surrender ceremony took place that ended the war in the Pacific and the National Cemetery of the Pacific, Punchbowl Crater.
What would a trip to Hawaii be without a luau? This luau is held on a private 12-acre beach estate featuring traditional Hawaiian food, entertainment and fun. Or you could choose to journey through seven authentic Polynesian island villages - Tahiti, Tonga, Fiji, Samoa, New Zealand, the Marquesas and Old Hawaii. Meet real Pacific Islanders and see them demonstrate the arts and crafts of their native lands.
Get to know Hawai'i from the inside out with an all-day tour that covers 120 miles of Oahu's best sightseeing spots, including the famous beaches on the North Shore. You could also choose an adventure tour that includes hiking, swimming and snorkeling, visiting some of the island's most secret spots.
