You can have all kinds of memorable experiences on Oahu. Imagine yourself hovering weightless over a rainbowed sea of tropical fish or sitting in a kayak watching the brilliant colors of dawn etch themselves across the sky. Dream of sipping a mai tai while you take in sweeping views of the south shore and the Waianae Mountains, after battling a magnificent game fish on a high-tech sportfishing boat or simply listen to melodic voices chant the stories of a proud people and a proud culture that was overthrown little more than a century ago. Oahu is home to the state capitol, and Waikiki Beach the heart of Honolulu. A visit to Oahu can include stops at Pearl Harbor, a hike up to the top of Diamond Head or a trip to the North Shore to catch some of the islands famed waves.
