Island is still a major US military base. Our Top Attractions list shows the highlights of touristic interest. The second side is a newly-updated version of our map of the island of Oahu. Although the focus of this map is on Honolulu, most visitors include day trips to outlying areas of the island. There are numerous coves where one can enjoy a reasonably isolated experience, and attractions such as the Dole Pineapple Farm to enjoy. It is not possible to drive all the way along the coast. Waimea Bay offers the best ‘big wave’ surfing. A very popular activity is to climb to the rim of Diamond Head volcano.
