Oahu
What you need to know before you go
Oahu is a tropical Hawaiian island that’s home to epic landscapes, golden beaches and an incredible array of plants and animals. Sun-kissed days and balmy nights here can be spent in laidback luxury.
The surf scene in Oahu is well known but, these days, the boardriders are outnumbered by families and honeymooners. The capital city of Honolulu is most people’s base when in Oahu, but don’t discount the lesser-explored north coast – home to some of the finest beaches in all of Hawaii.
