Approximately zero feet. Uh-huh, you read that right.

Oahu is one of the eight main Hawaiian Islands, and Honolulu sprawls along its southeastern shore. So while you're soaking up those incredible Waikiki sunsets or biting into a fluffy malasada from Leonard's Bakery, you are standing on Oahu the entire time. Wild, right?
Now, if you meant how far Honolulu is from other parts of Oahu, things get a little more interesting. Driving from Honolulu to the North Shore takes about 45 minutes — just enough time to scribble a grocery list and jam to your favorite tunes. Windwardside? Roughly a 30-minute cruise through stunning coastal mountains. Oahu is only about 44 miles long and 30 miles wide, so honestly, no matter where you roam on this island, Honolulu is never really that far away.
