It’s time to start dreaming of your next trip. Here’s some destination inspiration for you. Take a visual journey through Honolulu, Hawai’i, with us.
See an extinct volcanic tuff cone at Punchbowl Crater. Formed about 100,000 years ago, the crater sits at the edge of the city and is also the location of National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, honoring men and women who served in the U.S. Armed Forces. The site has very old indigenous origins and was once an important ceremonial site for Hawai’ians. © Patrick Evans | Dreamstime.com
Punchbowl Crater isn’t the only volcanic site in the city; Diamond Head is another volcanic tuff cone dominating the skyline from many outlooks in the city center. Dating back to more than 400,000 years, the crater is a popular site for visitors and is a U.S. National Monument. © Sorin Colac | Dreamstime.com
Located on Diamond Head is Diamond Head Lighthouse, an early 20th-century lighthouse currently operated by the U.S. Coast Guard. The lighthouse sits directly adjacent to the crater’s slopes and overlooks the clear waters below. © Sorin Colac | Dreamstime.com
One of the most pivotal moments in World War II occurred at Pearl Harbor on Dec. 7, 1941. Today, visitors can head to Pearl Harbor National Memorial and explore the museum and grounds for free. The memorial also includes the USS Arizona Memorial and other major sites from the notorious attack that claimed thousands of lives and brought the United States into World War II. © Milanvanweelden | Dreamstime.com
With a multitude of beaches, beginner and intermediate surfers can take to any number of them to catch great waves. Popular surfing beaches near Honolulu include Sunset Beach, Ehukai Beach, Makapu’u Beach and Sandy Beach. You might even catch professional surfers like Kekoa Cazimero hitting the waves. © Paul Topp | Dreamstime.com
Near Honolulu is Polynesia Cultural Center, a cultural tourist attraction and living museum in Laie on the north shore. Consisting of eight simulated tropical villages, performers can be seen dancing and showcasing various arts and crafts from Polynesian islands. Many special events highlight Hawai’ian, Samoan, Tahitian and Māori cultures. © Ritu Jethani | Dreamstime.com
Each year, the Shinnyo Lantern Floating Hawai’i Festival sees thousands come to Ala Moana Beach to float hundreds of hand-decorated, candlelit paper lanterns out into the Pacific Ocean. A ceremony of remembrance and reflection, the tradition brings people together and is a beautiful spectacle. © Island_images | Dreamstime.com
