THE
BEST
PLACES TO DISCOVER THE REAL OAHU
Oahu isn't just any other beach destination. It has a wonderfully rich, ancient history and cul-
ture, and people who are worth getting to know. If you want to meet the “local” folks who live
on Oahu, check out the following:
•
Watch the Ancient Hawaiian Sport of Outrigger Canoe Paddling:
From February to September,
on weekday evenings and weekend days, hundreds of canoe paddlers gather at Ala Wai
Canal and practice the Hawaiian sport of canoe paddling. Find a comfortable spot at Ala
Wai Park, next to the canal, and watch this ancient sport come to life.
•
Attend a Hawaiian-Language Church Service:
Kawaiahao Church
is the Westminster Abbey
of Hawaii; the vestibule is lined with portraits of the Hawaiian monarchy, many of whom
were coronated in this very building. The coral church is a perfect setting to experience an
all-Hawaiian service, held every Sunday at 9am, complete with Hawaiian song.
