Oahu, HI
Oahu is the most popular of the Hawaiian Islands. It is the location of Honolulu, Hawaii's capital, as well as much-loved tourist spots like Pearl Harbor and Waikiki. The Polynesian Cultural Center is on this island as well.
Mokoli'i
This small island off the shore of Oahu has often been called "Chinaman's Hat" because of its resemblance to coned hats from Asia. The 12.5 acre island was separated from Oahu by erosion.
Kualoa Ranch
This ranch in the lovely Ka'a'awa Valley on Oahu is a beef cattle ranch, and a perfect place for horseback riding and hiking. It has been used as a filming location for many famous movies, such as Jurassic Park.
Haleiwa
A town along the northwest coast of O'ahu, Haleiwa is known as a top surfing destination. Matsumoto Shave Ice is a local favorite, where visitors can get Hawaii's favorite dessert.
Pineapple Express
Visitors to the Dole Plantation on Oahu can take this fun train ride through two miles of Hawaii landscape, featuring narration from a knowledgable conductor who will tell you how Dole became a giant of fruit production.
Dole Plantation
Dole Plantation opened in 1950, billing itself as "Hawaii's Pineapple Experience." In addition to touring the fields, visitors can attempt the "world's largest maze," a 3-acre adventure with more than two miles of paths and a mystery to solve.
