Our Association bids you Welcome and Aloha to Oahu, known from ancient times as the "Gathering Place"

Oahu, the main island in the state, has many accommodation choices in addition to the hotels in Waikiki. There are large vacation homes for the extended family, cottages for smaller groups, apartments , studios, and in-home bed and breakfast units. These properties range from the most exclusive beachfront estates to tents in the midst of privative rain forests.

On Oahu, visitors can experience almost unlimited activities - five-star dining, entertainment and cultural activities, international shopping, island-wide golfing, hiking and our world famous water activities of surfing, wind surfing, snorkeling, scuba diving, parasailing, kite sailing, and kayaking. Seasonal excursions feature encounters with friendly Spinner Dolphins, magnificent Humpback Whales, rare Monk Seals, and endangered Green Sea Turtles.

Every compass point on Oahu offers unique vacation experiences:
