Many families vacation in Hawaii to take advantage of its perfect weather and lush, beautiful landscape. Oahu is a scenic island and the ideal location for people who want to get out of their hotel room and experience an adventurous getaway. Here are a few activities you should consider during your vacation.

What to Do on Oahu

1. Go Shopping

If you want to spend time out of your hotel, head to Ala Moana Shopping Center, which is the largest open-air shopping mall in the world. From Italian fine dining and designer brands to street food booths and grocery stores, this shopping center features over 350 retailers and eateries that can accommodate any budget. Enjoy a unique shopping experience while you visit the koi ponds or listen to the day’s live music performances.

2. Head to the Beach

When you’re booking your hotel room, find a resort that’s close to the world-famous Waikiki Beach or Ala Moana Beach Park. These two beaches have been some of the most popular tourist destinations since the first hotels were built in Honolulu and the calm, pristine waters are ideal for visitors who want to splash around with their kids.

3. Do Water Activities

Oahu’s temperate weather makes it the ideal location for visitors to learn how to surf, snorkel with tropical fish, or scuba dive to shipwrecks. If you don’t feel like getting wet, hop on a boat for a day of whale watching or enjoy a sunset cruise to watch the Friday night Waikiki fireworks.

 

Make your Oahu trip memorable by reserving your room at Ala Moana Hotel in Honolulu, HI. This hotel features a tours and activities desk, where guests can inquire about special excursions. If you choose to spend the day at the hotel, enjoy a morning cup of coffee at their on-site Starbucks®, relax by the pool, and have happy hour at their rooftop steakhouse.
