Take a trip to Honolulu on your United States Vacation
Honolulu is the state capital of the Hawaiian Islands and a vibrant urban centre with many historic landmarks and treasured monuments to be seen on a Hawaii vacation. The city is situated on the southeastern shore of the island of Oahu close to Pearl Harbour and the world-famous Waikiki Beach. Spread over five hills, it is surrounded by beautiful white sandy beaches.
Some of the major landmarks on a Hawaii vacation are the Iolani Palace which was the official residence of Hawaii’s former kings, the Aloha Tower, the iconic symbol of Hawaii which served to welcome visitors arriving at the port, King Kamehameha’s Statue, a great warrior, diplomat and leader who united the Hawaiian Islands into the Royal Kingdom in 1810 after years of conflict and the Kawaiahao Church, the Westminster Abbey of the Pacific.
The Internationally renowned beach resort of Waikiki is located just down the coast from Honolulu. Once the playground for Hawaiian royalty, it is now a glamorous and sparkling vacation hotspot. Kalakaua Avenue in Waikiki is the main thoroughfare and offers excellent shopping, dining and entertainment.
Overlooking this whole area is the beautiful and dominating Diamond Head.
Honolulu has a flourishing arts and cultural scene plus great opportunities for shopping, dining and nightlife.

ExcellentBased on 5,213 ReviewsWe entrusted Goway with every detail of our trip from start to finish and they came through for us superbly! Every single detail was smooth sailing. It was a joy to plan our travels with Goway!! We had an amazing trip of a lifetime!
E&DI recently went on an African Safari with my brother-in-law and sister and another couple who I knew. The entire experience was absolutely unbelievable. The complete details were flawlessly coordinated from the transfers to the breathtaking lodges. Our guides Peter showed us Kenya and Maulid Tanzania were very knowledgeable and very sharp eyes for finding the animals.
We were able to see the animals up close, learn a lot about the people, birds , vegetation etc.
We had several sundowners in the bush really added to a magical experience with beautiful sunsets.
I would highly recommend Goway to all my friends, they will not be disappointed.
Thank you to Bijal for the excellent African Safari that you put together for us. You were wonderful.Nancy HayWe enjoyed our trip very much. I was very pleased by the hotel, tours, and itinerary selections that Alice Teramoto made for us. It was all well organized and easy to follow.
Thank you very much for helping us have a great experience in Peru.INEverything was planned perfectly. The excursions were so small and personal. ClaireGoway planned a custom 2 week safari trip for my wife and I which was beyond perfect. Extremely satisfied with the entire process from planning, booking and follow up. Special thanks to my Travel Specialists, Brooke Theron and Angela DonnellyNeil RWorking with Allan is absolutely a dream. He is one of the most responsive people I’ve had the pleasure of working with and his attention to detail is unmatched. I truly wish I could just use him for every single trip I need to book.Liz PooreKimberly Brown from Goway Travel made my trip to Australia & New Zealand a very memorable and remarkable experience. Every step and detail was fantastic and I will never forget the trip of a lifetime and it was because of the experience of Kimberly. If you are thinking about taking a trip to New Zealand and Australia, I highly recommend contacting Kimberly from Goway travel. David KleinWe had a blast and felt covered by GoAway throughout. This was our first time using a travel agent and Melissa and her team made it easy. I also appreciated the quick communication while on our trip. I only wish that we got our official itinerary and tickets sooner as we did not receive them until a week prior. But it is busy season so I understand. Courtney McCarthyElise created a fantastic trip to South Africa. Our experience could not have been better. Thank You so Much!!Dave McVayOur trip to Japan was great. All our Goway arrangements preformed like clockwork and the guides for the tours were wonderful. Unfortunately, Mt. Fuji was in total fog but at least the lunch was very good and so was the drum solo, also our tour guide kept our spirits up ( she was the best).
Taryn picked hotels that were very convenient to the meeting point of our tours which was much appreciated and organized all aspects of our trip perfectly. So from our airport pickup to our last day in Tokyo everything ran very smoothly so we have used Goway before and will certainly use it again and reccommend Goway to others.JW
