Which islands in Hawaii should you visit? | Oahu in 5 days

Oahu in 5 Days – Is This the Best First Island in Hawaii? This is Part 1 of my 3‑part series answering one of Hawaii’s most asked questions: “Which island should I visit?” In this episode we spend 5 days on Oahu, exploring Waikiki, hiking famous ridges, chasing turtles on the North Shore, and visiting places I’ve dreamed about since I was a kid. If you’re planning a first trip to Hawaii and wondering if Oahu is the right island for you, this vlog will show you exactly what it’s like. What we did in Oahu • Waikiki Beach – sunset walks, beginner‑friendly surf, and city‑plus‑beach vibes. A great base with tons of food, shopping, and nightlife options. • Diamond Head State Monument – classic crater hike with panoramic views over Honolulu and Waikiki; short but steep, and worth the early wake‑up or sunset walk. • Kualoa Ranch – “Jurassic Park” scenery, movie sites, and adventure tours in one of the most dramatic valleys on the island. • North Shore Road Trip • Famous shrimp trucks on the way up • Waimea Bay and the surrounding beaches • Laniakea “Turtle” Beach, where Hawaiian green sea turtles often rest on the sand (always keep a respectful distance, they’re protected). • Ho’omaluhia Botanical Garden – that dreamy, lush valley backdrop I’ve wanted to see since I was a kid, plus peaceful walks among tropical plants. Places we missed but YOU shouldn’t : Hanauma Bay – one of Oahu’s best snorkeling spots, with clear water and plenty of reef fish (you need a reservation and there’s an entrance fee, so make sure to book in advance). Nuʻuanu Pali Lookout – a quick stop with powerful winds and sweeping views of Oahu’s east side. Kāneʻohe Sandbar – a sandbar that appears in the middle of the bay at low tide; you get there by boat or kayak and it’s a unique place to swim and hang out. We visited outside whale season, but if you’re coming in winter you can: Go whale watching from December to April (peak Jan–Mar) on tours from Waikiki, Ko Olina, or the west side to see migrating humpback whales. Snorkel with turtles and tropical fish year‑round at spots like Hanauma Bay, Turtle Canyon, and parts of the North Shore. Is Oahu the right island for you?
