The best way to truly enjoy all the things to do in Hawaii is to discover them one island at a time. Oahu is one of the major islands of Hawaii and is frequented by travelers all over the world because of the year round attractions and activities the island offers.
Home to the state of Hawaii's capital, Honolulu, Waikiki, Diamond Head Crater, Pearl Harbor, and more, Oahu guarantees nothing but the most fascinating things to do to keep you entertained during your Hawaiian vacation.
Hotels are spread out all over Oahu. The best thing to do is to choose a hotel that appeals to you the most, caters to everyone in your family's needs and interest, and all in all offers the best deals. The ResortQuest Waikiki Beach Tower provides breathtaking views of Waikiki Beach from your room's private lanai. It is a condominium located near the family-friendly Kuhio area of Waikiki, perfect for those traveling with small children. The ResortQuest Waikiki Beach Tower offers incredible freebies for kids under thirteen such as meals, and attractions and activities all over Oahu free of charge when accompanied by a paying adult.
The most popular of all things to do in Hawaii is to get out on (or under) the water. Book your family for an entire day at the sea discovering the azure waters of the island with the Oahu Tropical Ocean Fun Cruise. Various family-oriented activities are offered in the cruise such as fishing, snorkel tours and kayaking. You can also waterslide, jump on a giant water trampoline and sun bathe on the deck. Barbecue lunch is provided as well as an open soda bar. Or you can get to know more of marine life with an underwater adventure via an Atlantis Submarine. Take an adventurous excursion with this 100-foot passenger giant that offers your family views of coral and sea life. Get your cameras ready as you encounter some of the most colorful reefs and fish you do not see everyday. Hawaii is also identified with surfing. That is why no Hawaiian family vacation is ever complete without trying the sport out. Surfing lessons are available just along Waikiki Beach, and children as young as eight years old can learn.
Helicopter tours are among the things many visitors want to do in Hawaii. Aside from the usual plane and helicopter tours, though, Oahu also offers glider rides that offer not only amazing views of the beautiful hills, volcanic ridges, the coast of the island and the whales in the Pacific Ocean, but also a one-of-a-kind soaring experience.
Take the time to learn a part of history and culture with a visit to the Pearl Harbor and the Polynesian Cultural Center. Within the Pearl Harbor is the USS Arizona Memorial National Park where kids can join ranger activities. The Polynesian Cultural Center, on the other hand, allows you to visit seven Polynesian islands all in one location. The kids will not only have fun in the activities prepared for them, but also learn Hawaiian life by watching a stand-up comic routine of making fire and coconut milk.
One of the things you should do in Hawaii is join a luau, a traditional Hawaiian feast. Your family will be overwhelmed by the warm welcome of Oahu locals expressed in their performances and huge buffet. Feel free to try everything in the menu to experience genuine Hawaiian cuisine.
Walking along the legendary Waikiki Beach would be a great way to conclude your Hawaiian family vacation in the island of Oahu. Stroll past its wide sidewalk, a number of fountains, rock pools and even surf boards with pieces of surfing history inscribed while happily discussing all the extraordinary things to do in Hawaii that you have just experienced.
