Oahu Travel Guide: 4,013 reviews and 9,713 photos

THE WONDERS OF O'AHU

The island paradise of O'AHU has so much to offer. Hans and I took the Grand Circle Island Tour, just to see what O'ahu was all about. On our 120-mile tour we saw Diamond Head, Pali Lookout, Halona Point (Blow Hole), Chinaman's Hat, Mormon Temple, North Shore surfing beaches, Dole Plantation and the Polynesian Cultural Center.

Looks like the circle tour is the way to see Oahu's sights and attractions. I've never been to Hawaii, looks wonderful.

Great tips Lori. Too bad you didn't know TG when you went. Now, she's in our neck of the woods. Upstate NY.

These pics remind me of Tahiti and French Polynesia (although Oahu must be much cheaper!!!). Another nice page!
