Travel to Hawaii
While most of us are familiar with at least some of the Hawaiian Islands many people don’t realize just how diverse and unique the total of the seven main islands are. Though one of these seven islands is private the remaining six can easily keep your attention, and keep you very happy, for the better part of a full month. Honolulu, on the island of Oahu (pronounced “Oh wah who” for beginners) is probably the best known tourist area of the islands and is likely to offer you some of the best budget honeymoon packages.
Oahu is known as The Gathering Place and is generally more commercial than the other islands but even so, there is plenty of beauty and tropical charm to keep you enchanted for a good week. The world renowned Waikiki Beach is the center of Honolulu tourism. To the southeast is the extinct volcano crater of Diamond Head with the ritzy Black Point and Hanauma Bay beyond. To the northwest, and beyond the international airport lies Pearl Harbor with the Ihilani resort area a few miles further along the coast.
On the far side of the island lies a totally different and diverse world. On the northwestern portion of the island (the windward side) is Waimea with its roaring surf and well known surfing beaches of Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach. While in this area don’t overlook the beautiful Waimea Falls Park. On the northeastern side of the island (across the pass known as The Poli - which in itself is worth a visit) lies Kailua and a more serene and peaceful way of life. Along the coast road between Kailua and Waimea, you will want to see the Sacred Falls and the Polynesian Cultural Center.
