What are some other places on Oahu that I should visit?
One of our favorite destinations on Oahu is the Polynesian Cultural Center. This Polynesian-themed attraction is basically a living museum that teaches you all about eight tropical villages and features the most incredible luau. This is a 42-acre tropical oasis where you’ll walk through jungles, near waterfalls, and even by an “erupting” volcano. Make sure you watch the fire dancers and the coconut tree climbers during your visit — they are incredible to watch.
