Cultural Activities Hawaii

One of the best things to do in Hawaii is a Luau. This traditional Hawaiian Party was held by Kings and Queens back in the day. A Luau is a festivity where a whole pig is roasted in an underground oven – the Imu.

Luaus Today

Hawaiian families to this day have a Luau for special festivities such as birth of a child, big birthday celebrations, weddings in Hawaii and many other occasions. As a tourist the chances that you will be invited to such a private event are small, but you can experience a Luau in Hawaii that are created as a tourist attraction.

Paradise Cove Luau Hawaii

There are Luaus on every Island in Hawaii. One of the most popular and the highest rated Luau on Oahu is the Paradise Cove Luau. Paradise Cove Luau Tickets. The PAradise Cove Luau is on the Westside of Oahu. There is a bus shuttle available to Paradise Cove Luau for a small surcharge.

If you don’t want to take the bus ride to the Luau on the westside of Oahu you can make a reservation for a Luau in Waikiki. The Diamond Head Luau at the Waikiki Aquarium is a Luau that is close to Waikiki so you don’t have to take a bus to ge to the location. The Diamond Head Luau is conveniently located about 15 minute walk from east Waikiki. Tickets for the Diamond Head Luau

Helicopter Flight Hawaii

Interested to see Hawaii from above? Book a helicopter flight in Hawaii to experience the beauty of the islands. Every island in Hawaii has helicopter flight operators. One of the best things to do in Hawaii is to explore the island on the ground with a sightseeing tour, before you check it out from a helicopter.

Pearl HarborThere are different operators on every island. Smaller helicopters have the advantage that they have all window seats, whereas companies that have bigger helicopters are usually cheaper but you might end up with a middle seat. From a middle seat in a helicopter it is not as easy to take great pictures as it is from a window seat.

A helicopter flight on Oahu is a great way to see either parts of the island or the whole island. There are helicopter flights as short as 20 minutes on Oahu – however, we do not recommend those. You need at least 30 minutes to get an impression of Oahu from the helicopter. If you want the full experience you should always go with the 60 minute helicopter flight. This way you get to see the North Shore of Oahu, the waterfalls, Jurassic Park Valley and Pearl Harbor.

Check out the different helicopter flights on Oahu. For a REAL AMAZING experience on a Oahu Helicopter Flight we recommend to fly with 808Airmen & DanielsHawaii luxury helicopter. You can call us for reservations: +1 808 384 0116
