Oahu has long been host to the major assemblage of residents and guests, beginning with the ancient Hawaiian royalty and continuing with today&8217s cosmopolitan capital city of Honolulu.


Oahu, appropriately nicknamed "The Gathering Place", is not the largest of the Hawaiian Islands...it&8217s the third largest in fact, the Island of Hawaii (known as "The Big Island") covers more land than all of the other 6 major islands combined. However, Oahu has long been host to the major assemblage of residents and guests beginning with the ancient Hawaiian ali&8217i (royalty) and continuing with today&8217s cosmopolitan capital city of Honolulu and one of the world&8217s most famous beach playgrounds, Waikiki.

We&8217ve heard comments from some travelers that Oahu isn&8217t the "real" Hawaii that they only visit Maui or Kauai or The Big Island because Oahu is too crowded, too touristy, and has been "spoiled" by all of the development. Those who have read any of our "Jan&8217s Journeys" articles on Maui and Kauai know how we truly adore those island gems, and we do tend to relax a bit more there. Which is why we schedule Oahu at the beginning of our trip so we can ease into the vacation pace...or at the end of our visit so we can gear back up for the mainland, without as much culture shock when we reach reality at the airport back in San Francisco!
