16 days in Honolulu Itinerary

In many ways much more Asian than American, Honolulu is Hawaii's largest city and its center of government, transportation, commerce, and tourism.

You'll find plenty of places to visit near Honolulu: Haleiwa (Waimea Bay, Sunset Beach Park, &more), Pu’u O Mahuka Heiau State Monument (in Pupukea) and Kailua (Kailua Beach Park & Lanikai Beach). There's much more to do: go for a walk through Diamond Head State Monument, capture your vacation like a pro with an inspiring photography tour, buy something for everyone on your list at Ala Moana Center, and explore the world behind art at Honolulu Museum of Art.
