Oahu in a nutshell
Oahu is Hawaii's most populous and most important island, and for most travelers, their first and last contact with the Hawaiian Islands. It is on Oahu that Honolulu, the capital and largest city of Hawaii, is located, with the largest international airport, through which most foreign visitors to the islands pass.
Although travellers to Oahu often stay just a day or two in Honolulu before heading to the islands of Maui, Hawai'i or Kauai for some natural beauty, Oahu doesn't have to be left behind either, and we'll show you in this guide that it's worth staying longer.
