Oahu, known as "The Gathering Place", is the third largest of the Hawaiian Islands and most populous of the islands in the State of Hawaiʻi. The state capital Honolulu is located on the southeast coast. Including small close-in offshore islands such as Ford Island and the islands in Kaneohe Bay and off the eastern coast, it has a total land area of 596.7 square miles, making it the 20th largest island in the United States. In the greatest dimension, this volcanic island is 44 miles long and 30 miles across. The length of the shoreline is 227 miles. The island is the result of two separate shield volcanoes: Waiʻanae and Koʻolau, with a broad "valley" or saddle between them. The highest point is Mt. Ka'ala in the Waiʻanae Range, rising to 4,003 feet above sea level.
Best Trip EVER!
The "Best of Britain" tour we just finished with Globus was outstanding in every way! I have traveled the world with a few companies and felt this trip was the best I've ever been on. Every day was visiting places I had read about my whole life, and this trip made them all a reality. Every day was fast paced and memorable. My husband and I loved it. We will travel with Globus again.
