Honolulu means "sheltered bay" or "place of shelter." Honolulu is located on the island of Oahu and offers travelers many things to see and do. Honolulu's warm blue water, oceanfront hotels, and crowded beaches have been attracting visitors for almost as long as people have been swimming. But Honolulu is known for more than just sun, fun and surf. It offers museums, attractions, and historic monuments as well. Honolulu also has opportunities for outdoor adventure and nightlife to keep things lively.
Honolulu's most popluar beaches include Waikiki Beach and Diamond Head, but don't think that Oahu is all about the beaches, among its many attractions are: The Pearl Harbor Memorial, Hanauma Bay Marine Preserve, Arizona Memorial, Diamond Head State Monument, Nuuanu Pali Lookout, Iolani Palace, Saint Augustine Church, The Honolulu Zoo, The Waikiki Aquarium and lots more!
While in Honolulu you must sample some of the local cuisine, Honolulu offers many wonderful resturants, here are just a few: Chiba Ken, The Beachhouse at the Moana, Shokudo Japanese Restaurant & Bar,Sonny's Grill, Hula Grill Waikiki, Alan Wong's, La Mer, Roy's, Hoku's,Chef Mavro, Hy's Steak House, Orchids, Michel'sthat is a small list of the wonderful resturants on Oahu.
But what trip to Hawaii would be complete without an authentic Hawaiian Luau, While on Oahu check in with the Hawaii's Polynesian Cultural Center, located about one hour's scenic drive from Waikiki,it is the top paid Hawaii attraction for a reason. They feature seven native villages that give visitors the rare chance to participate in the daily adventures of Hawaiian and other South Pacific cultures.
