O’ahu is the most populous of the Hawaiian islands, and its conjoined hubs are the city of Honolulu and the world famous Waikīkī Beach. The vast majority of visitors make Waikīkī their base, venturing out on day trips to take in Honolulu’s many cultural attractions, Pearl Harbor, and other parts of the island. The family friendly beaches and parks of the South Shore and Kāne’ohe District are in striking distance of Honolulu, while diehard surfers head for the North Shore. The Polynesian Cultural Center is also an easy day trip from the city.
