Oahu

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.
