Introducing O'ahu
There are a lot of beach resorts in the world where you can escape into a manufactured fantasy, where everything is staged for the scrapbook photograph. And then there’s O'ahu, known in Hawaiian as ‘the gathering place.’
The most developed of the Hawaiian islands, O'ahu is the state’s center of government and culture – a role it usurped from Maui. It is one of the world’s best combinations of urban living, natural beauty and rural community. You can indulge your vacation dreams of umbrella drinks and suntans as well as eat at ethnic hole-in-the-walls and pick-up local pidgin. It is a perfect counterpoint for people who get bored with resorts and the ease of being a tourist.
