Did you know?

Daniel K. Inouye International Airport is Hawaii's largest airport and the central hub for the Pacific region. It is situated right by the sea and only a few kilometres from Waikiki Beach. It was named after US Senator and war hero Daniel K. Inouye, who hailed from Hawaii. The airport is particularly renowned for its open-air terminals, which exude fresh air and the feeling of Aloha right from arrival.

Places of interest

The world-famous Waikiki Beach is the heart of Honolulu – a palm-fringed city beach with perfect surf, golden sand, and a relaxed island feel. Whether sunbathing, surfing, or simply enjoying the sunset overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Here, Hawaiian joie de vivre meets a tropical backdrop.

Just a few kilometres away, the striking Diamond Head rises, an extinct volcanic crater and popular hiking destination. The ascent to the crater rim is rewarded with a breathtaking panoramic view of Honolulu, the turquoise sea, and the surrounding landscape.

Right in the middle of the city lies the impressive ʻIolani Palace – the only royal palace in the USA. It recalls the eventful history of the Hawaiian monarchy and combines Western architecture with Polynesian heritage.

A significant place of remembrance is Pearl Harbor, where the USS Arizona Memorial commemorates the victims of the 1941 attack. The site is now one of the USA's most important historical sites and attracts visitors from all over the world.

Useless knowledge

• There are no snakes in the wild in Hawaii; they are legally forbidden.
• Hawaiian has only 13 letters – but place names that will immediately make your satnav cry. Try saying „Humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa“ without dislocating your jaw.
• In Honolulu there is a tree (the Banyan Tree) that provides over 1,000 square metres of shade.
• There are so many people surfing at Waikiki Beach at the same time, it looks almost like a group water aerobics class with a risk of collision. And yet, everyone seems cool, unless you fall off your board and let out a touristy shriek.
• Coconuts can save your life or hit you on the head. Tip: If you're sitting under a palm tree, keep an eye on the sky. The locals know why.
