Windward oahu - Hawaii

Windward is a term used in the islands to refer to areas where the prevailing winds blow. These areas are wetter and more lush than the drier leeward shore. Windward Oahu is strikingly beautiful, with mountains, waterfalls, rich agricultural areas, and a string of lovely beaches along the coastline. It also offers a variety of attractions from the tranquil gardens of a Japanese temple to the joyous celebration of island culture at the Polynesian Cultural Center.
