Attractions and Tips

The USS Arizona Memorial and USS Missouri, along with Pearl Harbor, are must-see attractions for visitors to the island. Sun and fun can be found at Ala Moana Beach Park and Waikiki Beach. Diamond Head and Koko Head are worth a hiking trip, as is the Makapuu Point Light House. The Waikiki Aquarium is one of the best in the state, while the Manoa falls is another beautiful outdoor destination.

Family fun can be found at Wet ‘N Wild Hawaii or Surfing Lessons on Waikiki Beach. For a bit of history, you can attend a luau at the Polynesian Cultural Center or swim with sharks at North Shore Shark Adventures, if you dare!

Visitors to Honolulu typically stay in the many beach resorts, hotels and private rentals in Waikiki Beach. The weather is always hot and humid, and can be unusually rainy from October to March, so pack accordingly.
