As the most popular city in the state, Honolulu is many things, from the world’s greatest tourist destination to the volcanic capital of America’s 50th state. Whether you’re visiting the area with family or taking advantage of natural backdrops after an event at the Hawaii Convention Center, there’s much to discover on the south side of Oahu. See it all in style by making sure you’ve got the right transportation, either by utilizing the HART Light Rail System across downtown, or by staying close to Honolulu International Airport. Reserve a room on the west side of downtown along Queen Liliuokalani Freeway, choosing between nearby resorts like Best Western The Plaza Hotel and Pacific Marina Inn, both of which offer airport shuttles. Reserve a private ride to get around at the pace you want as well, going with either a chartered bus for large groups or simple SUVs perfect for safe trips across the mountains.
Get to know the local history of the region, from museums dedicated to the bombing of Pearl Harbor to the ornate royal history hidden behind the walls of Iolani Palace. Start with something simple, watching the history of Hawaii through the eyes of the ocean at Waikiki Aquarium, home to acclaimed reefs and local wildlife, not to mention on-site eats. Admire the gorgeous cliffside views from Tantalus Lookout afterward, soaking in the iconic downtown perspective perfect for lovers honeymooning as well as lonely photographers. Those with an entire day to do nothing should spend that nothing at Koko Crater Railway Trail, located along the famous geological hotspot and offering breathtaking views of the ocean from the southeastern tip of Oahu. End the evening with classic Hawaiian fare in town, choosing between a range of options on the famous King Street downtown or going elegant with the ritzy beachside locales in Waikiki.
