Oahu is famous for Waikiki and the surfing competitions of the North Shore, but there’s more to this gorgeous island than that. The communities of Oahu are vibrant and are so very active at keeping Native Hawaiian Culture alive. Whether you’re planning to stay in Honolulu or if you’re spending time seeing the many different sides of the island, you’ll love you’re time here.
Oahu is also where you’ll find the famous Disney resort, Aulani. While it is a giant place, it’s done a very good job at both honoring Hawaiian Culture as well as bringing the Disney experience to the Islands. But don’t just go to Aulani and forget about the rest of Oahu! There is so much to do and see, from the palace to beautiful hikes. Add an extra few days on Oahu to any trip if you can. Your boss will understand if you return to work late.
The Waimea Valley on the North Shore of Oahu is a beautiful place to explore both the botanical garden and swim at a waterfall. This spot is a must-visit for any first timer to Oahu or anyone that's dreamed of waterfall swimming in Hawaii.
Kayaking on Oahu is a very different sort of way to experience the island. Hawaiian green sea turtles, islands just off shore and streams flowing inland are some of our highlights for paddling Oahu.
The Ka Wa'a Luau at Disney's Aulani is an exceptional experience highlighting Native Hawaiian culture and the Disney way of travel. From great food to beautiful dances and music, see what you can expect at Aulani's Ka Wa'a Luau.
