Each Hawaiian Island offers visitors unique activities and things to do, and your vacation is the perfect time to experience the top excursions and activities in Hawaii. From the lush valleys on Kauai, to Oahu’s North Shore surf beaches, and the once in a lifetime chance to visit an active volcano on the Big Island, there is something to do for everyone.
The islands of Hawaii are all connected through their volcanic past and the unique history they share, from the early settlers to modern day as one of the top destinations in the world. And as connected as each island is, they each hold their own unique set of characteristics, offering different activities and a different vacation experience on every island.
Visiting Oahu
Oahu is the most populated of all the Hawaiian Islands, with over 75% of Hawaii residents calling the island home. As the most commercially developed of the islands, there is understandably more to do and more to experience during your trip. From historic landmarks and attractions to stunning beaches and fun outdoor adventures, Oahu truly has it all.
Historic Sites and Attractions
History is everywhere in Hawaii, and Oahu is filled with stories and landmarks unlike anywhere else. Whether you are making your first trip or your fifth, Pearl Harbor is always a must-see. From the USS Arizona Memorial, the views of Oahu are unforgettable, and the tragic events of December 7, 1941 remain front and center. Learn about the surprise attacks that took place on that fateful day and brought the United States into World War II. Pearl Harbor features a number of fascinating museums, including the USS Bowfin Submarine and the USS Missouri Battleship, and you can visit everything at Pearl Harbor on our full-day Pearl Harbor Tour, which also takes you to important historic sites of the Hawaiian Kingdom.
Oahu Activities and Outdoor Activities
Your vacation to Oahu will likely include plenty of beach time and relaxation, and there is every reason to enjoy the beautiful weather and spend as much time as possible on the white sand of Waikiki Beach.
But if you are looking for fun and adventure, we invite you to take advantage of one of our family-friendly outdoor activities and enjoy a day on the open ocean snorkeling with dolphins or hiking through the lush rainforest in search of a hidden waterfall. Hawaii is filled with hidden surprises, and you will love every second of our top-rated Oahu activities.
Oahu Luaus
A must for any island vacation is an authentic Hawaiian luau, complete with a delicious dinner buffet, fun cultural activities and live entertainment. Luau is the Hawaiian word for party, and from the moment you arrive, the celebration begins. Hawaii Discount offers some of the top luaus on Oahu, and each one provides a unique look into the culture and traditions of Hawaii, telling stories of the early Polynesian voyagers. From the Polynesian Cultural Center and its award-winning night show to Chief’s Luau and the beautiful setting at Sea Life Park, your evening will likely become a highlight of your trip. If you want to compare more Hawaii luaus before booking, there are plenty of great options to explore.
Lei Greeting
While this is technically not an activity, a lei greeting is a traditional Hawaiian welcome and a wonderful way to begin your vacation. Upon your arrival, you are greeted with the lei of your choice, and your trip officially begins. From fresh flowers to kukui nut leis, Hawaii Discount has the perfect lei to start your time in Hawaii and give you a memorable keepsake. Imagine the scent of fresh plumeria flowers filling your room as you gaze out of your hotel window at Diamond Head and the sparkling ocean. It truly feels like paradise.
