Hawaii one of the top vacation destinations in the world with Oahu being the most visited of the Hawaiian Islands.


Oahu, also known as “The Gathering Place” is the 3rd largest of the 4 top Hawaiian Islands but has the majority of the population. Oahu is also the capital of the state of Hawaii while Honolulu is the capital of Oahu.  It’s the capital within a capital. I don’t think there has ever been another time to utilize that saying.


The greater part of tourists chose to stay on the South side of Honolulu in Waikiki. Kalakaua Avenue is the main strip and where most of the action is in regards to shops and eateries.  With the majority of Oahu’s hotels, restaurants, shopping and nightlife on Waikiki, there will never be a dull moment. Well, unless you want there to be.


Let’s get to the beaches, shall we.


Waikiki is a stretch of beach that is broken up into 7 different beaches.  Some people actually say Waikiki is broken up into 8 or even 9 separate beaches but some I don’t consider a beach because there is barely sand to relax on.  For that reason, I have decided on 7 which are listed below.



  • Kahanamoku Beach

  • Fort DeRussy Beach

  • Royal Moana Beach

  • Prince Kuhio Beach

  • Kapiolani Beach

  • San Souci Beach

  • Outrigger Canoe Club Beach 


On Oahu’s North Shore the top 5 beaches are…



  • Laniakea or Turtle Beach

  • Sharks Cove

  • Waimea Bay

  • Pipeline Beach

  • Sunset Beach


If you get tired of trying for that perfect tan, there really is so much more to do on Oahu. Hike up the famous Diamond Head Crater, make your way to the North Shore to Laniakea Beach to catch a glimpse of a Sea Turtle, make sure to pay your respects to our fallen heros at Pearl Harbor and don’t forget to book a Luau.


I look forward to helping plan your Oahu, Hawaii Vacation.

Awesome Destination Wedding
My new husband and I just got back from our Destination Wedding in Mexico. Holy cow, it was perfect. Poor April held my hand all the way. I am so glad we had her take care of everything. April was so understanding and she even told me she had a Destination Wedding in Mexico herself. She put me at ease just knowing she knew what I was feeling.

The Wedding was simply amazing! Everyone made it there with the exception of my elderly grandparents, because of Covid but we got the resort video option so they will get to see it.

If you are thinking about a Destination Wedding, April is the BEST!

Amazing Honeymoon in the Dominican Republic
My husband and I just got back from Punta Cana and it was WONDERFUL! I thought planning a honeymoon now was unthinkable but April set everything up for us and knew everything about restrictions. She made sure that we were taken care of and everything went smoothly.
Yes, I recommend April 100% and 5 Stars! We will most defiantly not take a vacation without her now.
Thank you April, for such an amazing Honeymoon!

Quick Mexico Getaway
My friends and I wanted a quick girl’s vacation to Mexico and April set everything up for us. She even booked us catamaran to Playa Mujerez, which was so much fun. There were 10 of us, all together and everything went smoothly. She was so patient and knowledgeable.

Now our husbands are planning their Guy Getaway for July. It is so funny how excited our husbands are getting about their upcoming trip.

I can’t explain how much easier it was using April as our travel agent.
5 STARS hands down!!!

I will always use April and I know all of the girls will!

I 110% Recommend April
I had never used a Travel Agent before because I though they cost money. April was able to explain that she is compensated by her vendors once we travel so she doesn't charge for her services.
I can truly say that using a Travel Agent, or at least April, was night and day from doing everything on my own. Her knowledge and expertise was mind blowing and I am never going to book a trip on my own again. This was so easy.
I recommend April 110%
