Hawaii's Islands - Kauai and O'ahu

We visit Kauai, the Garden Island, famous for its tropical landscapes and then to O’ahu, the most populated of the Hawaiian Islands. Home to Waikiki Beach, Pearl Harbour and the capital Honolulu. Pearl Harbor, site of the USS Arizona Memorial and the "Punchbowl" cemetery, are haunting reminders of the tragic events of December 7, 1941, when the Japanese surprise attack on Pearl Harbor forced America into World War II.
