Surroundings
When it comes to natural beauty, no American city can compare with Honolulu. Nestled along the Pacific coast, every neighborhood in this city is close enough to the beach to reach on foot. EF Honolulu students quickly become at home in the water. Sign up for a surfing lesson at Waikiki Beach or swim with dolphins at a nearby marine park. On weekends, EF arranges hikes to the summit of the Diamond Head crater or into the jungle around Manoa Falls. Although Honolulu is an American city, Hawaiian culture plays an extremely important role in the identity of the area. For students, the most unforgettable experiences are often tasting local native food at a luau or stumbling through the traditional hula dance. Of course, your EF English course will be your main focus, but first you should learn the word 'Aloha', which means welcome in Hawaiian.
