The “Gathering Place” island in the Hawaiian chain, Oahu is home to the capital of Honolulu and claims some of the most well-known surfing spots in the state. Waikiki, adjacent to Honolulu, is a main tourist destination, full of fine dining, designer boutiques and several luxury hotels like the Sheraton Waikiki. Nearby, Diamond Head State Park offers a great day hike up to the volcanic crater. Oahu’s North Shore differs drastically, known for its rugged beauty and world-class surfing at Waimea Bay and Banzai Pipeline.
