Located on the Oahu Island’s southern shore is the capital of Hawaii, Honolulu. The city of Honolulu extends from Waikiki’s beaches lined with hotels to the Diamond Head volcanic crater, passing through Makapupu Point and Pearl Harbor.
Honolulu’s name in English translation is sheltered bay, derived from the southwestern shore’s long and natural bay. It is widely believed by archeologists that this natural harbor had been used as far back as the early middle ages, over 500 years before the first Europeans came to the islands. The first ship to arrive was the famous HMS Butterworth, led by Capt. William Brown in 1794.
Today, Honolulu is cosmopolitan and sophisticated and is a major center of politics, business, the arts, entertainment, and education on the Hawaiian Islands.
