Top Things to do in Oahu
Top 8 Cemeteries in Oahu, Hawaii (HI)
The Hawaiian island of Oahu is a surfer’s paradise, with swelling waves that can reach epic heights. No wonder, then, that it’s the site of one of the world’s premier competitions, the Triple Crown of Surfing. If hanging ten isn’t your thing, you can still enjoy the beautiful beaches – particularly famous Waikiki Beach in Honolulu. Art connoisseurs will appreciate the annual Hale'iwa Arts Festival, a celebration of local crafts, painting, jewelry, sculpture, dance, and music.

A 184-foot memorial honoring the 2,388 Americans who died during the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbor.

The Pearl Harbour complex is well set out. Even though the entry fee seems expensive you do get value for money. The entry includes a boat tide to the USS Arizona, exploring the Bowfin submarine, a bus ride to Ford Island (active Naval Base), exploring the Missouri (battleship) and entry into the aviation museums. Very moving and memorable.

The resting place for more than 25,000 victims of three American Wars - World War II, Korean War and Vietnam War – this is truly the “Cemetery of Heroes.” Punchbowl was formed some 75,000 to 100,000 years ago during the Honolulu period of secondary volcanic activity. A crater resulted from the ejection of hot lava through cracks in the old coral reefs that, at the time, extended to the foot of the Koolau Mountain Range. Of special note is a monument honoring Hawaii-born astronaut Ellison Onizuka, who perished aboard the Challenger space shuttle in 1986. Also noteworthy are the Courts of the Missing, white stone tablets bearing the names of those missing in action from World War II.

our driver from the Pearl Harbour tour took us to the Punchbowl cemetery.Of any cemetery I have visited it is the most impressive .The bowl which is a long ago volcanic crater provides a feeling of seclusion and the trees are so perfectly manicured they provide a true feeling of privilege for those who are buried here . The monuments are impressive as well. The view of the city on the trip down the outside is also nice. At first I thought a cemetery was not on my agenda but I'm glad I seen this one .

Take your time here. It may seem like it is just a "five minute" walk around - but there are little nooks and cranny's where you can hide in plain sight, but tucked away behind some lovely trees. Sit on the seats, feed the huge koi fish and birds (they will eat from your hand if you are patient), pet the cats (careful of the calico one, he's cranky!), chickens that want cuddles, peacocks that just strut around, light some incense, give thanks and say a prayer (or three) to give charitably and to just reflect in the ambiance. It was such a restful place.

I visited this lovely mausoleum on a windy and rainy morning. It's a beautiful resting place for Hawaiian royalty and some other notable historical figures. A spot to reflect...remember...and pay respect.
