This quintessentially Hawaiian island has all the cultural, recreational and natural attractions that many tourists pine for. Whether it's pineapples at a "luau" feast, or food truck delights at the monthly Eat the Street culinary festival, a visit to Oahu is certainly a filling experience. For a large chunk of culture and history, the Iolani Palace is the place to be. Here, you'll see the grand former residence of Hawaii's now-defunct monarchy. Waikiki Beach and North Shore, meanwhile, are good places for swimming and surfing.
