It is located on the island's west coast. The canyon is about 16 km long and 1 km deep. Compared with the US Grand Canyon and Blue Mountains, it is not as grand or imposing. The canyon's main feature is the iron in its soil, which turns red when oxidized. Combined with yellow soil, green vegetation, blue sky, and a white waterfall, the mix of colors makes it worth seeing.

No. 2 of Best Things to Do in Oahu

Pearl Harbor

7.4

4.8/5

724 reviews

Pearl Harbor is located on the southern coast of Oahu, Hawaii, west of downtown Honolulu. It is a natural deep-water harbor extending inland, surrounded by land on three sides with only the southern entrance facing the sea. On the morning of December 7, 1941, the Japanese naval air force launched a surprise attack on the U.S. Pacific Fleet stationed here. The battleship USS Arizona sank in less than ten minutes after being hit, with over a thousand officers and crew perishing aboard, marking America's full entry into World War II. Today, the harbor area has been designated as a historical attraction, comprising four venues: the USS Arizona Memorial, the Battleship Missouri Memorial, the submarine museum, and the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum. A full tour typically takes most of a day. Visits usually begin at the visitor center of the Pearl Harbor National Memorial: two exhibit halls display artifacts, photos, and footage depicting the ships, aircraft, and casualties on both sides before and after the attack. After watching the documentary, visitors take a shuttle boat to the white memorial spanning the sunken wreckage of the USS Arizona in the middle of the harbor. The bridge-shaped structure does not touch the ship's remains. Its 21 openings symbolize the 21-gun salute honoring the fallen. Through floor openings, visitors can view the rusted hull beneath the water, where oil droplets—known as "black tears"—still seep to the surface. The memorial hall at the far end bears the names of the thousand-plus crew members who went down with the ship, and the U.S. flag on the sunken mast is raised daily. This is a resting place for sailors, and visitors are expected to maintain solemn silence throughout the tour. While the USS Arizona witnessed the beginning of the Pacific War, the Battleship Missouri on Ford Island marked its end—Japan signed its surrender on its deck on September 2, 1945. Visitors can explore the deck, cabins, and bridge, with views of the white memorial across the water. The Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum, housed in the original hangars attacked that day, still bears visible bullet holes on its walls. The island also features memorials for the USS Oklahoma and USS Utah. Access to Ford Island requires a shuttle transfer from the visitor center. The Bowfin submarine, docked nearby, conducted multiple wartime patrols; visitors can step inside to experience life in a submariner's quarters. Practical tip: Security is strict, and regular backpacks are not allowed, so travel light.

Since 1999, the Hawaiian Green Sea Turtle colony has formed the habit of basking and resting ashore at Green Turtle Beach on the North Shore of Oahu. The natural environment of Green Turtle Beach is what turtles love: abundant food - seaweed, reef-covered bays - to keep out large waves and predators (sharks), and wide sand (for warmth and rest).

What travelers say about Kahuku

Anonymous userAugust 7, 2026

4.0

Excellent! It's worthwhile to learn about the local customs and traditions of each island and the different styles and cultures of China's islands. Five days is recommended if possible. Renting a car is more convenient; you can go almost anywhere. I don't recommend staying in the city center; parking is too expensive—$60 a day.

We had a great time at the ranch. Our guide was amazing! Arrived just in time for our tour, be sure to go to the ticket counter before lining up for your timed tour. Our guide explained well the ins and outs of the ranch, not just the movies shot there but the history and work being done beyond the big screen. Highly recommended.

Fun for Families & Photos, But Skippable for Solo Travelers 🍍 (6/10)The Dole Plantation is one of those places you hear about constantly when visiting Oʻahu, so I decided to check it out for myself. Here’s my honest take.Yes, the pineapple maze is huge—it even holds a world record—and riding the little train through the plantation to see how pineapples grow is pleasant enough. The grounds are well-kept, and you can definitely take some cute, colorful photos among the tropical plants. For kids or teenagers, I can see this being a fun couple of hours. Families seem to genuinely enjoy it.But as a solo traveler? I found very little that truly engaged me. The maze felt more tiring than thrilling without a group to laugh with. The train ride is short and a bit too slow-paced for an adult traveling alone. Even the famous Dole Whip, while tasty, isn't worth making a special trip for.Everything feels designed for groups, photo ops, or keeping young children entertained. There's no deep cultural or historical immersion, no real adventure, and not much for a solo adult to sink their teeth into.

Dole Plantation

Oahu is the most densely populated island in the Hawaiian Islands and the capital of Hawaii. Oahu is much more lively than other islands in Hawaii, and its business is more prosperous, especially along Waikiki Beach, which is the most colorful city center. The ecology on the island is very good, and there is a very beautiful red-crowned bird that can only be found in Hawaii.

Japan killed 2,403 Americans during the Pearl Harbor attack and 35,000,000 Chinese during the world war 2. Seeing the USS Arizona Memorial and crying Chinese baby lost parents is hard. The site kept and explained the history well. I highly recommend everyone who like learning about history and love peace to visit. I feel this is the most important site to visit in Honolulu. 珍珠港

There is a very large beach here with many tourists. Of course, this is a park. In addition to the beach, there are other landforms. For example, not far from the beach are jungles and valleys where you can explore.
