Oahu. Home of white sand beaches, amazing hikes, epic surfing, the historic Pearl Harbor memorial, and a. lot. of. traffic. It’s the most visited island as well as the most populous which does lead to more crowds and traffic than you will see on the other Hawaiian islands. BUT, don’t let this deter you from visiting. It’s busy for a reason. There are so many fun things to do and see that a vacation to Oahu will soon be one of your favorites. This guide will show you how to spend ONE weekend on Oahu. In my (slightly biased) opinion it’s the best 3-day Oahu itinerary for adventure lovers.

Kauai is often a favorite of the Hawaiian islands, given its range in landscape, geography and activities. Outside of the capital of Līhue, there are four main regions - the East Side, the North Shore, the South Shore and the West Side. This guide will include activities and recommendations for the East, North and South. While the regions are easy to travel between, we recommend staying on the island for at least one week to really explore them all.

The Hawaiian island and tropical paradise of Oahu is best known for its beautiful beaches, warm blue waters, plethora of incredible hikes, stunning mountain landscapes, lush greenery, and vibrant surf culture. Now imagine: roaming the island in your own camper van rental… Waking up to the sounds of the ocean, setting up camp near the beach under a blanket of stars at night, and spending your days cruising around to one of Oahu’s incredible hikes, beaches, and surf spots - sound pretty nice? Then this guide is for you! The reality of camper van vacations in Hawaii is that they can be a little tricky to navigate! The state has a strict law against sleeping in your vehicle and the island of Oahu has no state or county campsites open for car camping. BUT that doesn’t mean you can’t have an incredible camper van vacation! In fact, exploring Oahu in a campervan has been my absolute favorite way to experience the island. Which is exactly why I created this guide! To show you how to easily and LEGALLY plan a campervan vacation. With a little planning and preparation with the help of this guide, renting a camper van on Oahu can be an unforgettable adventure that allows you to see the island in a whole new way. Here’s exactly what you can expect from my Oahu Camper Van Vacation guide 👇 This guide is the result of hours upon hours of planning, research, and my in-person experience (I’ve visited Oahu over 7 times now & have done this exact camper van vacation myself). It includes fun features such as an interactive map, directions that connect directly to your phone’s Google or Apple Maps app, and the exact coordinates to some of my favorite activities, campervan rentals, camp sites, beaches, food spots, hiking trails, & more!

Diving with sharks, visiting famous historical landmarks, and trying every shaved ice you can find... sounds like the quintessential trip to the islands of Hawaii, and we will show you just how to do it in only 4 days! This itinerary covers the island of Oahu, HI and is perfect for anyone who is looking for more of adventurous trip than a relaxing vacation (though we definitely did lounge on the beach some.... because how can you not!) This was one of my first big trips with my boyfriend, and we did not have a ton of extra funds to spare at the time. We wanted to do something epic together for our one year anniversary, so we booked a Hawaiian escape for 4 short but very sweet days! We were even face to face with a tiger shark named Roxie (sans cage) at 7 AM on the day of our one year anniversary, so I would say we accomplished our goal of an epic first trip, and I am so excited to share exactly what we did in our few days there. Save yourself the time of researching it all and planning everything alone! This guide is perfect for on-the-go couples, friends, or groups looking to really experience all that this little island has to offer beyond just the beaches and city. Included: 🏖Beach recommendations 🍳Restaurant recommendations 🏨Hotel suggestions 🍨Shave ice shops 🗺Activities
