Diamond Head
An extinct volcano located off the southeastern coast of Oahu
near Waikiki which is sure to provide some scenic views of the
Pacific Ocean, Waikiki and the southern coast of the island of
Oahu. Diamond Head Crater is one of the most photographed
places not only in Hawaii, but around the world, mainly because
of its imposing and picturesque outline in the backdrop of
beautiful Waikiki. Visitors can enjoy a hike up the crater
and even go inside the depression in the crater which once
spewed out hot lava. To learn more about Diamond Head

Honolulu Zoo offers a wide range of programs and activities, a
large collection of animal habitats on display, and tons of

attraction.
Hawaii
Convention Center
A huge facility in the vicinity of Waikiki and downtown Oahu,
the Hawaii Convention Center hosts hundreds of events yearly
ranging from cultural, business, and entertainment. The
grounds of the convention center is a great place to take a
stroll and relax to enjoy the scenery with its well-manicured
garden space and location along the Ala Wai Canal, another on of
Oahu's great attractions. From a cultural point of view,
the convention center is significant with numerous natural
landscapes captured in oil paintings, and its aesthetic
architectural detail which makes it stand out from other
buildings on Oahu.
Arizona Memorial
For those interested in American and World history this Oahu
attraction which is located on Ford Island in Pearl Harbor is a
must see attraction. The Arizona Memorial is not only an
important landmark in Honolulu for its distinctive location and
architecture, but also significant as a unique war memorial that
was raised in honor of the many brave men and women who died
during World War II. A trip in to see this final resting place
for the USS Arizona is as much a visit filled with historical
significance as the visit merits nationalistic feelings of valor
and courage of soldiers who gave up their lives in the fight for
freedom.
