Where is the island of Oahu located
The island of Oahu is located north of Maui and Big Island (also called Hawaii) and south of the island of Kauai in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. To get a better idea of its location, take a look at the map of Hawaii below.
Most travelers landing in Honolulu stay downtown for at least the first night, many in Waikiki. The airport is only 5km from the city center and 15km from Waikiki, making it relatively close (if rush hour traffic permits).

Climate of the island of Oahu Oahu is very popular with tourists all year round, thanks in part to its mild climate.
In fact, the island is sunny for most of the year and is subject to various extreme phenomena.
The climate is drier on the west coast and wetter on the east, and winter storms are quite rare: thanks to constant winds that create a ‘softening’ effect.
Overall, rainfall increases in proportion to altitude: Waikiki, for example, has modest annual rainfall, while nearby Upper Manoa Valley north of Honolulu, at its highest altitude, is six times wetter.
