A Day on Oahu – Pearl Harbor and an Authentic Hawaiian Luau

March 7th, 2019

The island of Oahu features so many great things to do,  amazing   scenery, top-notch attractions and destinations, and more history than    you can imagine. All of these things are a part of the Hawaiian   experience, and  when you are visiting any island, you can truly create   an experience of  treasured memories that will have you wanting to   return to the islands over and  over again. And for all that there is to   do on Oahu, there are two activities  that stick out above all others:   Pearl Harbor and an authentic Hawaiian Luau.

Pearl Harbor is easily one of the most important  destinations in   Hawaii. Dating back to the earliest days of inhabitance of the  island,   Pearl Harbor has long been a part of the day-to-day life of Oahu.    Through the years, the usage has changed quite drastically, from the   earliest  days when pearls were harvested from its waters to today, as   one of the most  historic Naval bases in the world. Of course, it is   most famous for the tragic  attacks that struck the island on December   7, 1941, resulting in the United  States entrance into World War II.   Now, the site is the most visited  destination in Hawaii, bringing   visitors from around the world to reflect and  remember the tragedy that   struck the island.

At an authentic Hawaiian luau, the entire evening is the  star of the   show, beginning as soon as you arrive, continuing through the    delicious dinner buffet, and concluding with the captivating performance   that  will have you either on the edge of your seat, or dancing in the   aisle. There  is nothing like a luau, and attendance is almost mandatory   for a trip to the  island, as this an evening that you will not want to   miss.

When you are creating your vacation itinerary, you will want  to   maximize your time, and you can really get the most our of one day by    heading to Pearl Harbor in the early morning hours for a visit to the   museums  and memorials found here, and finishing off the day with an   authentic Hawaiian  luau. Though this creates somewhat of a long day,   you can pick and choose the museums  to visit at Pearl Harbor and take   in the history and sites before heading back  to your hotel for a chance   to recharge and freshen up, then heading for one of Oahu’s luaus at night. There is plenty of  time in the day, and the more that you can do, the more memorable your time on  Oahu will be.

Each of these activities help to make your time the best  that it can   be, and no matter if it's your first time to the island, or you’re    making a return visit, there is bound to be something new for you to   enjoy.
