windsurfing and kayaking destination is Kailua Beach on the windward coast. And not to forget there's always Waikiki Beach, which is suitable for almost every water activity there is – from swimming and snorkeling, to paddling, parasailing, and, of course, surfing. It was here where Duke Kahanamoku (1890-1968), rode the waves in the early 20th century.

A popular land-based Oahu activity is hiking. Join an Oahu nature hike that takes you through lush rainforests and discover gorgeous waterfalls. Or, if you don’t want to do all the walking yourself, how about a horseback ride or an all-terrain vehicle (ATV) tour? At Kualoa Ranch, for example, you can ride through the lush Ka'a'awa Valley and discover popular Hollywood movie locations along the way.
