Days 4 - 10 : Waikiki Beach on the island of Oahu, Hawaii
It's time to leave behind the Big Apple and head for the tropical islands of Hawaii in the sunny Pacific Ocean. Your base for the next seven nights is lively and cosmopolitan Waikiki Beach on the beautiful island of Oahu.
When you aren't relaxing on the golden sands of Waikiki Beach watching the surfing dudes, we'd recommend a gentle hike up to the top of Diamond Head volcano, a sunset catamaran cruise, a Polynesian Luau or a spot of snorkelling in nearby Hanauma Bay (one of only three underwater national parks in the USA). Oahu is the liveliest of the Hawaiian islands, here you can do as much or as little as you want. Included in your stay is a day trip of the island which will include a visit to Pearl Harbour and the legendary surfing beaches of the lush North Shore.
The neighbouring islands of Kauai, Maui and Hawaii Island are less than a 40 minute scenic flight away. If you'd like to consider a day trip to one of these or split your time between Waikiki Beach and another island, the tailor-made experts at Bon Voyage would be delighted to make suggestions for this.
