Oahu] Enjoy the thrill of ziplining on Oahu! Enjoy Ziplining on Oahu!

Oahu, Hawaii's most popular resort island

About 6,000 kilometers east-southeast of Japan lies the 50th state of the United States, Hawaii.

Its state capital, Honolulu, is located on the island of Oahu.

It is the most populous island in the state of Hawaii, with a business and financial district, a state university, and the central headquarters of the U.S. Armed Forces Pacific District, making it both the center and most popular resort area of Hawaii.

 

What is Oahu like?

Most hotels and condominiums on Oahu are concentrated in Waikiki, so staying in Waikiki will allow you to fully enjoy shopping and dining.

In particular, the Ala Moana Center, Hawaii's largest shopping center, located just outside of Waikiki, is so extensive that you cannot see it all in one day.

And yet, once you step out of Waikiki, you will be dotted with nature-filled spots where you can experience a variety of activities that will satisfy both urban and nature lovers.

 

How to get to Oahu

Access from Japan to Oahu, where Honolulu is located, is also convenient.

Direct flights are available from Sapporo, Narita, Haneda, Chubu, Kansai, and Fukuoka.

The trip takes 6.5 to 7 hours on the way there and about 9 hours on the way back.

Due to the time difference, you will arrive in Hawaii in the early morning or morning of the same day you leave Japan, so you can go sightseeing immediately after your arrival.

 

Attractions of Oahu

Oahu has a dry climate with little rain throughout the year.

The Hawaiian islands are surrounded by ocean on all sides, and sea and land breezes blow almost unobstructed, making it possible to enjoy a comfortable stay without feeling too much humidity.

It is no wonder that many people visit here to escape the humid Japanese heat wave.

There are also many attractive stores.

Not only Waikiki, but the entire island is dotted with stores that can be enjoyed by those who want to indulge in a shopping spree and feel like a celebrity, those who want to taste local B-grade food, those who want to acquire antique items, and those who want to enjoy a healthy diet.

Oahu is a compact island with many transportation options such as buses and rental cars, and many tours are available, making it easy to get around and enjoy a variety of activities.

 

Beautiful beaches and vast wilderness

The charm of Hawaii cannot be described without mentioning its beautiful beaches.

Waikiki Beach is one of the most beautiful beaches in Hawaii.

For first-time visitors to Hawaii, it is also the first royal spot to visit.

On the other side of the beautiful beach, which stretches for about three kilometers, there is a row of luxury resort hotels.

The sight of so many tourists relaxing and enjoying leisure time on the beach will make you feel "I'm here in Hawaii! You will feel "I'm here in Hawaii!

In addition to beaches, Oahu offers a wide variety of spots where you can get close to nature and experience hands-on activities that allow you to get in touch with nature.

Once you are satisfied with your shopping experience, visit a spot rich in nature to heal your body and soul.

 

One of the world's leading resorts

Oahu is one of the world's leading resort destinations, visited by people from all over the world for its beaches and natural beauty, weather and safety, and abundance of hotels, stores, and restaurants.

 

Shopping and restaurants are also recommended

Ala Moana Center, Hawaii's largest shopping center, houses more than 350 stores, ranging from casual to high-end stores to stores that have not yet arrived in Japan.

It is the world's largest open-air shopping mall with numerous stores operating from four department stores and luxury brand boutiques to supermarkets, pharmacies, international restaurants and food courts.

The food scene is also evolving rapidly, and visitors can enjoy a wide range of Hawaiian gourmet foods, from B-class gourmet foods such as loco moco, spam musubi, and garlic shrimp, which are well-known in Japan, to new organic and creative cuisine.

Beaches, nature, shopping, and dining - all are constantly being updated and enhanced, which is why Oahu continues to be a resort destination that keeps repeat visitors coming back.

 

Enjoy the spectacular views of Oahu by zipline

For those who want to try something other than marine activities, want to experience something unique to Oahu, or want to participate in an activity that brings them closer to nature, we recommend ziplining.

 

What is the rapidly growing popularity of ziplines?

Zip-lining is an activity in which visitors slide down a wire rope stretched between trees using pulleys.

You may have seen celebrities experiencing this on TV.

 

How to enjoy ziplining

Children and adults can experience it as long as they meet height and weight restrictions.

The pulleys carry you along and you just let yourself go.

It is also important to note that you do not need to be confident in your arm strength or athletic ability to enjoy the game without any problems.

 

Zipline Attraction

The greatest appeal of ziplining is that you can enjoy the spectacular view and thrill of the ride while feeling an overwhelming sense of speed.

By moving speedily through nature, you will feel as if you are Tarzan on an adventure through the jungle.

 

Spectacular views of Oahu.

Zip-lining is an activity that takes place in a natural spot, so you can get up close and personal with spectacular views that you would not normally be able to see just by sightseeing.

The blue ocean of Oahu seen from above and between the trees is a spectacular view that can only be found with this activity.

 

A sense of speed as if you were flying through the air

Zip-lining is a great activity for those who love nature and screaming in the air in the great outdoors.

It is completely different from marine activities and will give you an exhilarating experience like never before.

 

The thrill is irresistible.

While leisurely trekking is a fun way to experience Oahu's natural beauty, ziplining is perfect for those who feel that simply walking is not enough.

Parents and children! Couples! You can experience the thrill of sliding!

 

What to wear and what to expect

Basically, normal clothing is acceptable, but skirts should be avoided because of the harness and because of the gliding in the air.

Pants can be short pants, but long pants are recommended to avoid the possibility of insect bites and skin abrasions.

The top should also be adjustable to the temperature with a windbreaker or jacket.

Shoes should be sneakers rather than sandals to prevent them from falling off in mid-air.

Long necklaces and earrings should also be removed as they can get caught in the harness and fall out.
