Attractions on Oahu

December 23th, 2018

After you’ve reserved your Oahu Luau,   you’re going to be looking for  additional things to do for your   vacation to Oahu. Luckily  for you, the island is packed full of great   activities, tours, sightseeing,  attractions, and tropical destinations   that will blow your mind. Oahu  is the most visited island in Hawaii,    and we know that your vacation is going to be a dream come true. From   the moment  you set foot off the plane, paradise welcomes you, and   whether you’re just lounging  on the beach or you’re out exploring the   island, you will be in heaven!

Oahu is home to incredible scenery  and visitor attractions like   Pearl Harbor and the  world-famous North Shore  surf beaches, bringing   in visitors from all over the world to the shores of the  island that is   nicknamed “The Gathering Isle.” No matter what you choose to do  while   visiting, you can guarantee that you will be blown away at what the    island has to offer, and finding great sites and attractions all around   the  island is quite easy.

Some of our favorite destinations to visit include:

Byodo-In Temple

Located on Oahu’s Windward   Coast in the quaint town of Kaneohe,  the   Byodo-In Temple is a peaceful retreat for anyone looking for some quiet    time to reflect. Tucked into the Ko’olau Mountain Range, the grounds   feature  wild peacocks, koi ponds, and the replica of a Japanese     Temple that dates back over 1,000  years. The version on Oahu is not   quite that old, but  still quite impressive.

                
La’ie Point

There are so many popular lookout points around Oahu,  and La’ie Point   might be the best of them all. Located near the Polynesian   Cultural   Center  on the North Shore,  the lookout point shows off many of the   natural features that makes the island  great. Offshore islands, violent   shore breaks, impressive rock formation, and  even evidence of Mother   Natures power. The giant hole that is seen in the middle  of the islet   located not too far from shore is the result of a hurricane that  blew a   hole right through the rock!

Makapu’u Lookout

Way over on the South   Shore, Makapu’u Lookout provides unrivaled    views of Rabbit Island,  Makapu’u Beach, the towering Ko’olau Mountains,   and on clear days, views that  stretch up the entire Windward Coast.  A   few minutes is all you will need here, so take lots of pictures, and   take a  moment to soak it all in.

Halona Blowhole

There are a handful of blowholes around Hawaii,  and the Halona   Blowhole is the most famous one on Oahu.  The result of thousands of   years of volcanic activity and lava flows, the  blowhole only becomes a   blowhole when the ocean forces water through a small opening,  shooting   water spray high into the sky, sometimes as high as 50 feet! Make sure    to check this stop out, and the views of Halona Cove, Sandy Beach, and   the  island’s South Shore  are just added bonuses.

Due to the high volume of visitors traveling to Hawaii  year round, our Oahu tours and Oahu activities sell out quickly. In many cases, tours sell out weeks or months in    advance, especially our top seller Aloha Kai Luau.
