When most people think of Hawaii, it's typically the island of Oahu and its famous landmarks - like Waikiki and Honolulu, Pearl Harbor and Sunset Beach - that spring to mind. Oahu is where the action is, whether you're looking for nightlife or surf.

Honolulu and Waikiki offer a vibrant city scene, but just beyond you'll find rolling hills carpeted in pineapples, fluted mountains cut by cascading waterfalls and turquoise bays remote enough to provide the backdrop for the TV series Lost. If you're looking for Hawaiian paradise, Oahu fits the bill nicely.
