Oahu Driving History Tour

Oahu Driving History Tour

The island famous for its Pearl harbor, waikiki and Duke Kahanamoku, Diamond Head and the famed North Shore for its surfing history, still being written. Oahu houses around one million people of the island or "hui" and that is over 70% of the population of the hawaiian islands combined. She is 44 miles across from east to west and about 30 miles between her southern shores and the famed northern ones. Honolulu is the capitol of the island chain and has been for most of the time since Kamehameha 1 brought the islands together and stopped the bloodshed between warring island chiefs. While he kept his ancestral home in Kona on the big island and spent part of his monarchy in Lahaina on Maui, most of his time was spent here in Honolulu which had the most active port in the chain.
