Get out of the urban sprawl, and check out O‘ahu’s Westside. It’s a trek, but once you get to the FOUR SEASONS RESORT O‘AHU AT KO ‘OLINA, you’ll feel like you’re on another island. Swim in one of the four lagoons (be aware that there is limited parking and no lifeguard on duty), or take advantage of any of the activities available at the resort: boat charters for fidshing, luxury ocean tours, snorkeling or whale and/or dolphin watching, golf, spa offerings and more.
