About Hawaii Honolulu Oahu - presentation, information, pictures and recommendations
Although scientists can not tell when the first Polynesian had set foot on the southeastern land of Oahu Island, now known as Honolulu, oral stories and artifacts suggest that there has been a settlement since the 12th century.
Honolulu means "sheltered bay", words that describe the calm of the deep waters of the harbor. British captain James Cook, who discovered Hawaii in the name of the Western world in 1778, sailed around the island at night, missing the bay and the tiny fishing villages alongside.

16 years later, another English sailor, Captain William Brown, discovered the bay and called it the Wonderful Rai, a translation by the name of the locals.
When the news of Brown's discovery spread, the merchants were excited. Soon they arrived here with the hundreds and quiet fishing village became a crowded port and then the capital of the Hawaii kingdom in 1845, the capital city of Hawaii in 1898 and, finally, the capital of Hawaii in 1959.
Honolulu is a sophisticated cosmopolitan city and a business, politics, education, entertainment and art center in Hawaii. Selected restaurants, resorts, theaters, concerts, shopping, sports, nightlife and cultural events - Honolulu offers all the facilities of a world-class destination, with ideal temperatures throughout the year.

Places to be missed include the Chinese Quarter, Waikiki Beach and Manoa Valley. There are also many activities: kayaking, surfing, surfing, seaside rides, shopping in Waikiki or dining in excellent restaurants.
Start your own town visit, then venture into other areas of Oahu. You can discover the wonders wherever you go and every day you are here.
