From festivals that celebrate Hawaiian culture to major events at the pinnacle of sports and entertainment, there’s always something to do. Even disappear, into the lush tropical beauty that abounds from mountain to ocean. Discover the next food trend before it goes global, from the up-and-coming chefs and mixologists staking Oʻahu’s claim as a culinary capital.

Eco-Tourism: Embark on a farm tour to learn about the farm-to-table processes that are such a vital part of Hawaiʻi Regional Cuisine and see Native Hawaiian plants and flowers at Honolulu Botanical Gardens’. December through May, go whale watching off Oʻahu’s southern coast to greet humpback whales on their annual visit to Hawaiʻi’s warm waters.

Golfing: As the most populous island, you will find Hawaiʻi’s first golf course here, the semi-private Moanulua Golf Club built in 1898. You can also have a luxurious experience at resorts that host the PGA like Turtle Bay Resort at North Shore; Ko Olina Golf Club, which curves along the Leeward Coast; and the Greg Norman-designed Royal Hawaiian Golf Club, located 20 minutes from Waikīkī in a valley so lush it has been nicknamed “Jurassic Park.”
