Eyewitness Top 10 Travel Guides – Honolulu & O’ahu (Re-Post)

This Top 10 Travel Guide to Honolulu and O‘ahu divides this beautiful and dynamic island into six areas: Honolulu, Waikiki, The North Shore, Central and Leeward O‘ahu, Windward O‘ahu, and The South Shore. All of these regional chapters are color coded: the color bands are shown on the map opposite.
Almost every sight, restaurant, bar, shop, and place to stay mentioned in the book has a map reference, referring to the large maps of Honolulu and O‘ahu.

O‘ahu is the most populous of the Hawaiian islands, and its conjoined hubs are the city of Honolulu and the world-famous Waikiki Beach. The vast majority of visitors make Waikiki their base, venturing out on day trips to take in Honolulu’s many cultural attractions, Pearl Harbor, and other parts of the island.
The family-friendly beaches and parks of the South Shore and Kãne‘ohe District are in striking distance of Honolulu, while diehard surfers head for the North Coast. The Polynesian Cultural Center is also an easy day trip from the city.
