About Honolulu and Waikiki:
- Waikiki is the world-famous tourist district of Honolulu, located between the Ala Wai Canal and the Pacific Ocean next to Diamond Head.
- The Bishop Museum, the largest of Honolulu's natural museums, is endowed with the state's largest collection of natural history specimens and the world's largest collection of Hawaiian and Pacific culture artifacts.
- For appreciation of botany and its natural beauty, Honolulu is home to several gardens: Foster Botanical Gardens, Haiku Gardens, Liliuokalani Botanical Garden, Gardens of the Hilton Hawaiian Village, Lyon Arboretum, Hawai'i's Plantation Village, and the Walker Estate, among others.
- Other biological attractions: The Honolulu Zoo is the main zoological institution in Hawaii, the Waikiki Aquarium is a working marine biology laboratory and is partnered with the University of Hawaii and other universities worldwide, and the Atlantis Submarines allow you to dive below the ocean to see exotic marine life swimming between sunken ships, airliners, and reef structures.
- Gain perspective on Oahu's geology and geography, grab your hiking shoes and take an early morning hike to the top of Diamond Head - a 760 ft. extinct volcano tuff core and National Landmark; at the top you'll enjoy a panoramic view that extends along Oahu's south shore.
- Oahu is acknowledged as the birthplace of modern surfing. Duke Kahanamoku, with his mile long ride in Waikiki, put modern surfing on the map. The North Shore, especially in winter, is home to the world-famous Banzai Pipeline, Waimea Bay and Sunset Beach, known for their epic, 50-ft. waves and international surf competitions.
- Beaches on Oahu offer a range of active water sports including swimming, surfing, windsurfing, boogie boarding and snorkeling. With 112 miles of sandy shoreline and 139 beaches, Oahu has a beach for everyone, from high adventure on the waves, romantic sunsets, or a protected, family-friendly swimming spot - it's all nearby, and water temperatures range from 75 to 80 F year round.
- Honolulu is the center for Hawaiian music and theater; main music venues include the Neal Blaisdell Center Concert Hall, the Waikiki Shell, and the Hawaii Theater, while live theater is popular at the Diamond Head Theater.
- Visual Arts, supported by the state and private entities, include the Honolulu Academy of Arts, endowed with the largest collection of Asian and Western art in Hawaii and the largest collection of Islamic art, housed in its Shangri La Estate. The Academy also hosts a film and video program dedicated to arthouse and world cinema in the museum's Doris Duke Theatre.
- The Contemporary Museum, is the only contemporary art museum in the state, with 2 locations: main campus in Makiki and a multi-level gallery in downtown Honolulu at the First Hawaiian Center.
- The Hawai'i State Art Museum is in downtown Honolulu and boasts a collection of art pieces created by local artists as well as traditional Hawaiian art.
