Honolulu
Honolulu is the capital of the state of Hawaii and is located on the island of Oahu. In the Hawaiian language, Honolulu means "sheltered bay" or "place of shelter." Also located on the island are the navy base of Pearl Harbor and the famous Waikiki Beach.
Populated by Polynesians for perhaps over a thousand years, Captain William Brown of England was the first foreigner to sail, in 1794, into what is now Honolulu Harbor.
The island of Oahu was formed by volcanoes and the best place to view them is from Diamond Head. However, Diamond Head is not easy to get to. You must climb the 30 minute trail by foot.. The view is worth the climb.
Waikīkī is the world famous tourist district of Honolulu, located between the Ala Wai Canal and the Pacific Ocean next to Diamond Head. Numerous hotels, shops, and clubs are located along Kalakaua and Kuhio Avenues. Waikīkī Beach attracts millions of visitors a year. Most of Oahu's hotels are located in this area.
Try to see Honolulu on your vacation even though it is busy. Tourists go there for a reason. This vacation would be well worth your while.
