Why Honolulu
Visit to Honolulu should not be restricted to beaches, bars, shopping and eating, although all those things are very important in Honolulu, there is so much to do and see outside the city. Besides the beaches, visitors to Honolulu can take tours of the countryside surrounding the downtown area. These tours are excellent, bringing visitors to some of the most beautiful rainforests and volcanoes in the world. Animal and plant life are abundant, and the scenery is unsurpassed. A five-minute car ride from Honolulu brings visitors into some of Nature's most beautiful and awe-inspiring sights. The city has a number of museums, including the Bishop Museum, which combines exhibits on Hawaiian natural history with lessons about history and culture of its many diverse peoples. The Waikiki Aquarium is the third oldest public aquarium in the United States, and it features many of Hawaii's most interesting sea animals. The Honolulu Zoo also features some of the unique mammals, birds, and reptiles that inhabit the forests just outside of the city.
For those looking for breaks from the beach, the island of Oahu offers plenty of hiking and off-roading opportunities. Rent a Jeep, and take the 83 and 93 highways around most of the island. Or, hop on a plane and travel to one of the other islands, with Maui, Hawaii, and Kauai being the most popular alternatives. By the time your plane reaches cruising altitude, you'll be ready to land on a new island... and new adventure.
