Whether you’re seeking sublime nature views, high-adrenaline time spent surfing, glamorous shopping and dining, or culture and history, Oahu Hawaii holidays cater to everyone. That’s what makes a trip to Oahu so versatile as a couples’ and family friendly destination.
Explore historic Oahu
Oahu holidays offer visitors the chance to immerse themselves in the country’s dramatic history. For history buffs, no trip to Hawaii would be complete without a visit to the famous World War II site, Pearl Harbour. As you explore the lagoon harbour memorial, you’ll learn about one of the most pivotal moments in US history. The devastating and bloody attack on Pearl Harbour marked the entry of the United States into the Second World War.
That isn’t where the history lessons stop. To discover Hawaii’s royal heritage, take a tour of the ʻIolani Palace State Monument. This is the only official royal palace in the whole of the United States. Saunter through the regal rooms of the Grand Hall, State Dining Room, Blue Room and Throne Room, as you hear tales of the Hawaiian monarchy.
