While Downtown Honolulu is the bustling centre of the city, Waikiki is the most popular with tourists because of its unbeatable beaches and hotel resorts. While the perks of Downtown are just minutes away by car or taxi, the soft sands, cool beach bars, and high-end boutiques are all at your feet in this neighbourhood.
There’s nowhere better to shove your surf board in the sand and watch the waves as you wait for your big wave than North Shore in northern Oahu. With some of the world’s best surfing beaches paired with the coolest surf towns, keen surfers will feel right at home in this hipster region.
Adventure seekers should look no further than Diamond Head. not only is the area itself home to one of the island’s besthiking trails, but it is situated near to some of its best parks and reserves. The area also benefits from being within a short driving distance from central Honolulu.
Escape the crowds and enjoy an authentic island living experience by staying in The West Side. Since most tourist hotspots are concentrated in the north and south of Oahu, the west remains largely tourist-free, allowing you to lead a calm and quiet island existence that involves laying on beaches and exploring nature.
