O'ahu
If you find yourself arriving by air, your first glimpse of South Pacific paradise lies in the vitality and vibrancy of Hawaii’s capital city, amidst the buzz of modern living and an instantly recognisable skyline. But as exciting as Honolulu is, the island of Oahu brings so much more to the traveller’s table, with its depth and richness of culture, history and traditions. It’s an eclectic fusion of city and country, America and Polynesia, modernity and history. From urban sophistication to small-town charm, from the North Shore’s legendary surf to world class attractions, Oahu sheds its layers to reveal the very heart of Hawaii where extinct volcanoes contour the skyline alongside the sparkling high-rises of vibrant Waikiki.

Best time to visit O'ahu
The best time to visit O'ahu depends on your preferences and what you want to do on holiday.
Winter (November - March) has big wave surfing on the North Shore, it is the peak whale watching season, and has cooler temperatures but more rain (especially on the windward side), expect higher prices around the holidays.
Spring (April - May) has pleasant temperatures and fewer crowds making good deals a possibility. Calmer waters allow for a range of water activities and the waterfalls tend to be at their most impressive.
Summer (June - August) is hot and sunny making it the best time for beaches and snorkelling on the North Shore. It is also a good time of year for hiking but expect larger crowds and potentially higher prices.
Autumn (September - October) has warm temperatures and fewer crowds than summer, but is still good for hiking and water activities.
