Polynesian Cultural Center
Voted #1 Oahu attraction, Polynesian Cultural Center brings to life the spirit of Polynesia through its six Polynesian villages. Spend the day exploring the rich heritage of the Pacific Islands. Wander through 42 acres of tropical splendor and enjoy the adventure of traditional hands-on activities. Dine like royalty at an authentic Polynesian luau and top it off with the most spectacular evening show in the islands, Ha: Breath of Life. All of Polynesia in one exciting place.
Laniakea Beach (Turtle Beach)
The main attraction here is the green sea turtles who often times can be seen on the beach basking in the sun.
USS Arizona Memorial
The USS Arizona Memorial, at Pearl Harbor in Honolulu, Hawaii, marks the resting place of 1,102 of the 1,177 sailors and Marines killed on USS Arizona during the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor.
ʻLolani Palace
The ʻIolani Palace was the royal residence of the rulers of the Kingdom of Hawaii beginning with Kamehameha III under the Kamehameha Dynasty and ending with Queen Liliʻuokalani under the Kalākaua Dynasty.
Valley Of The Temples
The main attraction in the Valley of the Temples is a Japanese temple called Byodo-In, which translates to the “Temple of Equality.” A scale replica of a temple in Uji Japan and made entirely without nails.
Nu'uanu Pali Lookout
ust a 5-mile drive northeast of Downtown Honolulu, the Nuuanu Pali Lookout offers panoramic views of the sheer Koolau cliffs and lush Windward Coast. Driving up the Pali Highway through tall trees and dense forests to get to the lookout, you’ll see the city disappear and the tranquil beauty of Hawaii’s natural landscape emerge.
Tantalus
This stately guardian to the Koʻolau range offers the best views, the best trails and, during summer months especially, metropolitan Honolulu’s backyard rain forest is an easy escape by car from the heated sidewalks and high-rises of the city.
