If you go snorkeling, chances are you will see a sea turtle or two – these fascinating prehistoric sea creatures are a huge drawcard. There is also the opportunity to explore surf culture, art galleries and some of Oahu's best food. Regardless of your leanings – meat lover, pescatarian, vegetarian or vegan – there's plenty to enjoy from the island's top food trucks and producers that you might never get to see otherwise.
