Oahu attractions

Hawaii is made up of six unique islands - providing plenty of opportunity for adventure before, after and during ICAD. Our 2010 conference is located on the island of Oahu, a glamorous outdoor paradise that melds seamlessly with urban attractions. In July, Hawaii will be in the middle of their summer season, enjoying steady temperatures around 85 degrees Fahrenheit (29.4 Celsius).
To start planning your trip, learn more these Oahu attractions:

Waikiki – Visit this world-famous Hawaiian city to enjoy local cuisine, shopping and entertainment. Grab your surfboard and head to Waikiki or Kuhio beach for a lesson on how to hang ten.

North Shore – This seven-mile stretch of sand – where the waves can swell to 30 feet or more – has hosted many professional surfing competitions. Watch how the experts ride the waves or enjoy swimming and sunbathing at a more leisurely pace.

Pearl Harbor – Pay tribute to the lives that were lost in the attack on Pearl Harbor on December 7, 1941. Visit multiple historic sites – including the USS Arizona Memorial and Battleship Missouri Memorial – to learn more about the events of World War II.

Diamond Head State Monument – Hike to the peak of this 760-foot crater to absorb breathtaking panoramic views of Oahu. This National Natural Landmark takes visitors through old military bunkers and underground tunnels to reach the top – an ideal spot for souvenir photographs.

Waimea Valley Center – Journey through the lush rainforests and world-famous botanical gardens of this rare natural ecosystem. Along the way, keep your eyes peeled for unusual native animals and nearly 5,000 species of plants.  End your hike with a refreshing swim in the waters around Waihi Falls.
