Best Things to Do in Honolulu - Oahu
The island of Oahu has a great mix of activities, particularly in Honolulu. Take your young kids to the Waikiki Aquarium, let your teenagers loose to shop in the Ala Moana Center, or to hike around Manoa Falls. And then there's the beach; some of the most popular shores include the family-friendly sands of Kailua Beach Park, the surfer-approved waves of Waimea, and the resort-strewn sands of Waikiki.
