"Other things to do"

Diamond Head, often referred to as the “world’s most recognized volcanic crater”, travelers frequent this astonishing structure to climb about 0.7 miles to the top for unmatched views of the entire island. Stretching over 3,500 feet in diameter along with a 750-foot-plus summit, the crater exists as a result of a volcanic eruption of more than 500,000 years ago.

The Battleship Missouri Memorial sits in the heart of Pearl Harbor and holds great significance in the long history of the United States — it’s the place where the Japanese soldiers officially surrendered to the Allies to officially end World War II.

Clients must visit the island’s North Shore, as its large, glassy waves assist in making it one of the most popular surf destinations in the world. If surfing doesn’t interest clients, they will be more than happy to sit back on more than 7 miles of gorgeous beaches stretching along the coast.

You will visit the following 2 places:

Honolulu

Honolulu, on Oahu’s south shore, is the main gateway to Hawaii and a major gateway into the United States. The city is a major hub for international business, military defense, as well as famously being host to a diverse variety of east-west and Pacific culture, cuisine, and traditions. The name Honolulu means "sheltered harbor" or "calm port".

Hawaii

Hawaii is the newest of the 50 U.S. states (August 21, 1959), and is the only U.S. state made up entirely of islands. It is the northernmost island group in Polynesia, occupying most of an archipelago in the central Pacific Ocean, southwest of the continental United States, southeast of Japan, and northeast of Australia. Hawaii’s natural beauty, warm tropical climate, inviting waters and waves, and active volcanoes make it a popular destination for tourists, surfers, biologists, and volcanologists alike. Due to its mid-Pacific location, Hawaii has many North American and Asian influences along with its own vibrant native culture. Its capital is Honolulu on the island of Oʻahu.
