Oahu

Oahu is the population center of Hawaii and is aptly called the "The Gathering Place."

Here, you'll find it all. Bustling Honolulu, the state's capitol, and the famed resort area of Waikiki Beach draw visitors from around the world. There's almost unlimited water and beach activities, electric nightlife, golf, tennis, museums and historic sites, fine restaurants of every variety, shopping for the souvenir hunter to the serious collector, and visitor attractions of all descriptions.

But venturing out to other parts of the island you'll find an entirely different side of Oahu just waiting to be discovered, from quiet retreats and great surfing spots on the North Shore to quaint villages of ancient origin to scenic vistas to remote beach hideaways.

Oahu has many faces and personalities. It's the perfect blend of cosmopolitan city life, a modern beach resort, and Polynesian culture. And, whether here on business, a family vacation or a romantic honeymoon, the sights, sounds, history, and the warm, gracious people of this wonderland will call for your return time and again.
