Hawaii Scout

What to do in Oahu with older adults?

Oahu has exceptional activities for older adults that don't require high fitness levels. Pearl Harbor and the USS Arizona Memorial are deeply moving experiences accessible to all mobility levels with paved walkways and shuttle boats. The Atlantis Waikiki submarine ($75–168) provides an underwater reef experience without swimming or snorkeling. Chief's Luau ($130–220) is fully seated with excellent food, cultural performance, and no physical requirements. E Noa Tours and Roberts Hawaii run narrated motor coach tours ($50–205) covering the island's highlights with comfortable seats and frequent stops. The Polynesian Cultural Center ($95–294) features leisurely village walks and evening shows. For ocean views, a Waikiki sunset catamaran cruise from Star of Honolulu ($99–139) requires only boarding steps. Most of these can be booked as a package.
