The third largest Hawaiian island, Oahu is home to the majority of Hawaii's diverse population. Honolulu the state capital and largest city in Hawaii, is a unique combination of tropical glamour and buzzing international metropolis, where sandy shores meet city streets. In this cosmopolitan capital city, you'll find everything from historic landmarks to fine dining to world-class shopping. Head to the North Shore to rub shoulders with champion surfers and laid-back locals, the big wave surfing capital of the world. No trip would be complete without a visit to historic Pearl Harbour, the largest natural harbour in Hawaii where monuments such as the USS Battleship Missouri Memorial commemorate the historic events that changed the course of history during World War II. The contrast of bustling city life to laidback surf towns makes a stay on Oahu memorable.
