Oahu is known globally for its attractions.
Oahu has a variety of wonderful attractions from the beaches of Waikiki to the memorials of Pearl Harbor, and the museums and historic buildings of Honolulu including the Bishop Museum and Iolani Palace. On the windward coast, the Polynesian Cultural Center features more than 100 performers as well as interactive exhibits, and nearby is Kailua Bay which is a favorite place for kayaking and other water sports. Stop at Nuuanu Pali to take in spectacular views of the island, visit a botanical garden, or head up to the north shore to lie on a pristine white sand beach and perhaps see the world-famous surfers charging waves.
