With its soft sandy beaches, crystal-clear water and warm, sunny climate throughout the year, it is not surprising Honolulu, Hawaii, is one of the most popular destinations for vacationers from across the world. Honolulu is host to a variety of indoor and outdoor excitement ranging from water activities, such as surfing and snorkeling, to shopping, sightseeing and romantic walks along the beaches. This wide assortment of activities makes Honolulu a suitable vacation spot for visitors of all ages and tastes.

The majority of Honolulu visitors arrive via aerial transportation through the Honolulu International Airport. In addition to serving Oahu island, this airport also receives most of the visitors traveling to the other Hawaiian islands. Despite popular belief, there are no inter-island ferry services in Hawaii. Visitors to other Hawaiian islands arrive at their destinations through regular inter-island flights. The city of Honolulu has a well-developed public transit system for the use of locals and visitors alike. Honolulu is served by The Bus, which covers almost the entire island at a nominal cost. However, many travelers choose the more visitor-oriented Waikiki Trolleys that are designed to provide convenient transportation to most viewpoints in Honolulu, including the Waikiki Aquarium, Iolani Palace and the Ala-Mona Shopping Center.
