W E L C O M E TO Oahu
Welcome to Oahu, home to clear, beautiful waters and the softest sand
imaginable. Also known as "The Gathering Place," Oahu is the third largest
Hawaiian island and is the ideal combination for someone seeking the
convenience and vibrancy of a city and the laidback life of a cozy beach town.
From the boundless, white-sand beaches of the west side and the bustling life
in downtown, to the mountainous ridges on the east, endless adventure awaits
you at every corner.
The Hawaiian Islands are filled with culture and kindness. "The Aloha Spirit" is
the hallmark of Hawaiian lifestyle for all who live here. It teaches us the lesson
of all-encompassing, unconditional generosity and compassion to everyone
you encounter. Aloha can be felt all throughout the islands and embodies the
people within it.
When you live here, you will feel what it means to live aloha.
IT'S A BEAUTIFUL DAY ON OAHU

Waikiki resort area and the surfing beaches on the North Shore offer ideal weather year round. November-February is big wave surf season on the North Shore where you can stumble upon World-class
surfing competitions. During the summer, the big waves of the North Shore subside for ideal beach going and snorkeling conditions. The sunny days on the west side are always great for snorkeling and
diving.
