3.5 of 5 stars based on 9 votes
I personally recommend these top 10 attractions for all my friends and family that visit me on the island of Oahu.
1. Polynesian Cultural Center
Polynesian Cultural Center, Laie, Oahu
This is a great place to take your family and to learn about 7 Polynesian cultures all in one place. PCC has been around for 42 years and provides scholarships to hundreds of BYU Hawaii students that live next to the Cultural Center. PCC takes about 9 hours to visit because there are many things to see and do there: villages, shows, tours, IMAX movies, dining, shopping, etc.
2. Pearl Harbor
Pearl Harbor, Honolulu, Oahu
This memorial is a fitting tribute to those who lost their lives on a fateful day which launched the US into World War II.
3. Bishop Museum
Bishop Museum, Honolulu, Oahu
This museum has a great collection of Hawaii's past art and histiory.
4. Turtle Bay Resort
Turtle Bay Resort, Kahuku, Oahu
Check Rates ABS:HotelCheckRates-d87158?src=GoListDetail&fromServlet=GoListDetail&Action=QC_Button

Turtle Bay is a great way to escape the hustle and buslte of Waikiki. It offers incredible views of the ocean and the natural beauty of Oahu's North Shore.
5. Sunset Beach Park
Sunset Beach Park, Oahu, Hawaii
Sunset Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. Several surfing competitions are held here.
6. Hanauma Bay
Hanauma Bay Nature Preserve, Honolulu, Oahu
If you love to snorkel and look at colorful fish, you can't miss Hanauma Bay.
7. Dole Plantation
Dole Plantation, Wahiawa, Oahu
This is a fun activity for families. Learn all about pineapples and try not to get lost in their "world's largest maze".
8. Iolani Palace
Iolani Palace, Honolulu, Oahu
The only royal palace in the US.
9. Waimea Valley Audubon Center
Waimea Valley, Haleiwa, Oahu
Experience the natural beauty of old Hawaii.
10. Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park
Hawaiian Waters Adventure Park, Kapolei, Oahu
Even though Oahu is surrounded by beaches, this is a huge waterpark that is a lot of fun that can be enjoyed year-round.
