Oahu is also called the Heart of Hawaii. On the third largest Hawaiian island is the capital of the state of Hawaii, Honolulu, and the majority of the Hawaiian population lives here. The island forms the economic center of Hawaii and is the most famous of the Hawaiian islands. On a discovery tour of Oahu, you’ll encounter bustling Honolulu, the tourist center of Waikiki, relaxed surf towns, impressive waterfalls, phenomenal views, secluded beaches as well as impressive craters, hiking trails and snorkeling spots. The climate of Oahu varies depending on which side of the island you are on: While the north and east have lush vegetation and it rains frequently here, the south and west are much drier. The two characteristic mountain ranges of Oahu are called Waianae and Koolau. The highest elevation is Mount Kaala with 1.225 meters. By the way, there is no ferry connection from Oahu to the neighboring islands, so you always have to use one of the flights from Honolulu airport.
