Honolulu is the capitol of the state of Hawaii and is located on the island of Oahu. Also located on the island are the navy base of Pearl Harbor and the famous Waikiki Beach. The island of Oahu was formed by volcanoes and the best place to view them is from Diamond Head. However, Diamond Head is not easy to get to. You must climb the 30 minute trail with your own two feet. There are no elevators or trams to get you there. The view is every bit worth the climb. Don't skip Honolulu on your vacation plans because too many tourists go there. They go there for a reason. This vacation would be well worth your while.
