Walking or hiking through a botanical garden or a tropical rainforest is very peaceful and romantic. Visit our island specific Cultural and Natural History Adventure pages for more details and directions.

Dinner cruises are a perfect way to enjoy a delicious meal then hold each other as you watch the sun set over the horizon. Visit our island specific Evening Activity suggestion pages for activity provider information.

A deserted beach is a very romantic way to enjoy an afternoon together. Molokai and the Big Island have some of the most beautiful beaches which are often found deserted. Each island has miles of beautiful beaches. Take a beach blanket with you when you drive around and keep an eye out for a beach that doesn't have many people or anyone on it.  Please note that nude sun bathing is not permitted by law.

Plan a night of romance in your hotel room. Start by giving your love a beautiful scented lei. A white ginger lei is a great choice to symbolize your pure love, and it smells heavenly!  Order dinner from room service. If you are staying in Waikiki another option is ordering from a restaurant delivery service. There are several available and they offer a wide selection of menu items. (see Oahu Restaurants for more information). Enjoy a slow dance to a beautiful Hawaiian love song playing on the radio. Tune your FM radio to 98.5, 100, or 105.1. To enhance the evenings romance we can help you arrange for any of the following: tropical flowers, chocolate covered strawberries, tropical fruit, wine or champagne, sexy negligee, scented candles. The rest is up to you (wink, wink).

If you are looking for a BEACH GETAWAY SPOT head out to the Princeville Hotel. Just before the Princeville Hotel gate-house turn right. Park along the side of the road. It’s a 10 minute hike to this breathtaking secret hideaway. Located on the North side of the island.

FERN GROTTO is a beautiful fern covered cavern that is accessible  either by kayak or a romantic river boat ride. The Grotto is a popular spot to exchange wedding vows.   Located near Wailua, on the East side of the island. Look for the signs.
