Oahu Top 10 Activities

Oahu, the third biggest and most densely populated of the islands of Hawaii, is precisely known as "The Gathering Place". Oahu is a crucible of cultural, historical and beautiful attractions that draws more than 4 people and is home to about 75 to 80% of the state's population (953,000 according to the 2010 census). Whilst there are certainly more than 10 different ways to entertain you on Oahu, below are our tips to make the most of your time.

Kalakaua was ill after almost 10 years in the 1882 building and travelled to the continent on the recommendation of his doctor, where he soon deceased. In 1895 she was charged with knowing a royal plan to re-establish sovereignty and condemned to eight month domiciliary detention in the upper room of the Iolani-Palast.

When the Iolani Palazzo was cleared in 1969 after almost 75 years of use as a capital of the state, it was opened to the general population in 1978 after extensive work. Hawaii's only regal castle in the United States, Iolani Castle, provides a captivating insight into the city' s city. There are two possibilities for tours - an audioguided and a documentary guide - where the visitor can discover the inside and outside area of the castle.

Oahu is full of all the conveniences of the big cities you can expect, but we definitely suggest a short ride to the northern bank (about an hour's car ride from Waikiki), where surfing, sandy and natural surroundings are the centre of attention. Lean back and see windsurfers participate in Waimea Bay, Sunset Beach and Banzai Pipeline (Ehukai Beach) in cold weather, enjoy tourists in Turtle Bay, wander through Haleiwa Town for some shaving rice and eat in one of the famous northern shoreline crawltruck.

It is home to many of Hawaii's most varied campuses, the University of Hawaii in Manoa, as well as the Manoa Chinese Cemetery and Lyon Arboretum, where you can take a walk in the gardens to discover more about Hawaii's indigenous flora. If you are interested in a walk of natural beauty, we suggest the Manoa Falls, an 8 miles walk through a wood of bamboos at the foot of the Ko'oaus Mountains that ends at the 150 foot Manoa Falls.

Whatever isle you are on, a helitour is one of the best ways to see and enjoy the area. The Blue Helicopters flight through Oahu includes stunning vistas of Waikiki, Diamond Head, Hanauma Bay, Waimanalo Beach, Chinaman's Hat, Kaneohe Bay Core Formation, Nuuanu Valley Rainforest, Sacred Falls, Dole Pineapple Plantation, Pearl Harbor, Arizona Memorial and Battleship Missouri.

Pearl Harbor is home to four historical sites, among them the USS Arizona, Battleship Missouri, USS Bowfin Submarine and the Pacific Aviation Museum. Kualoa, one of the holiest places on Oahu, was once the home and practice place for ali'i (royal house), as well as a Shrine.
