Directions to The Four Seasons Resort Oahu
About 20 miles west from Honolulu International airport, The Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko’Olina is pretty easy to get to if you choose to rent a car and drive out there yourself. As you exit the airport parking lot, simply look for the signs that say “H1 West” Waianae. Depending on when your flight arrives, you may get stuck in rush hour traffic, so plan your trip out there accordingly.
When the road winds down to a two lane highway, you’ll take the exit that says “Ko’olina”. Follow the exit onto Ali’inui Drive. You’ll pass through the Security Gate and over some trolly tracks. The Four Seasons Resort Oahu at Ko’olina is just past Paradise Cove Luau and Lanikuhonua Cultural Site.
What To Do In And Around Ko’olina and Oahu
Ko’olina is located on the Leeward side of Oahu and is known for being sunny (most of the time), dry and, well, hot. It’s out of the way of hte hustle and bustle of Waikiki and people who stay out this way tend to like the more quiet and laid-back feeling to it.
There are several activities in and around Ko’olina itself such as snorkeling at secret cove or taking one of the classes offered by the resort or simply relaxing by the pool. When you want to venture out and about there are some fabulous things to do including: a Catamaran Boat ride for a snorkel dolphin excursion either early in the morning or go for a sunset cruise. You can see about reserving a private charter for your group.
Pearl Harbor
This is a given if you’ve never been to Oahu before. book a tour that will pick you up at the resort or drive yourself and spend the day exploring all three museums on Ford Island. Pearl Harbor was the catalyst that pulled the U.S. in the the Second World War. Spend the day here exploring the grounds, the USS Arizona, the USS Missouri and, the Pearl Harbor Aviation Museum.

Four Seasons Resort Oahu – Wedding Ceremony
There several options to host your ceremony on the resort property. The outdoor space is on the Ocean Lawn where you can decide on which are works best for you. Then there’s the Ocean Chapel, a pretty white interior chapel with floor-to-ceiling glass windows for a panoramic view of the Pacific.
The pros of a chapel ceremony is that it’s air conditioned so your guests won’t melt under the hot Hawaiian sun. The draw back it that it is tiny and holds only about 50 people so, if you’re hosting a small destination wedding it’s perfect.
