Most Romantic Things to Do in Hawai’i

Hawai’i is heaven for hikers and nature lovers alike. Whether you’re looking for a challenging trail or relaxed scenic walk, you will find it here. Take a romantic sunrise trip (a mere 10,000 feet above sea level!) at Mt. Haleakala’s captivating summit in Maui—Hawaii’s Valley Isle. For romantic accommodation in Maui, check in to oceanfront Sheraton Maui Resort & Spa.

This volcanic archipelago was forged by fire, making for a rugged landscape of unparalleled natural beauty, and gifting couples the perfect backdrop to celebrate love. Hawai’i is also one of the few places you can get up close and personal with active volcanoes like Kilauea. Take a trip to the Island of Hawai’i and spend a day at Hawai’i Volcanoes National Park, where most hiking adventures begin, with more than 240 km of trails to discover. Stroll through lava tubes at Nahuku (Thurston Lava Tube), hike along volcanic craters at the Chain of Craters Road or walk over volcanic fields to witness the power of creation as lava flows into the sea in Kalapana.

For thrill-seeking couples, Hawai’i has what you need to ramp up the romance with an adrenaline hit. Surfing is deeply entrenched in Hawai’ian history and culture, so there’s no better place to take a couples’ lesson. The instructors are experienced surfers who’ll have you standing up in no time, ready to face your first wave together. If you already know your way around a board, the big waves hit the North Shore in winter. Waimea Bay and Banzai Pipeline are two viewer-friendly beaches if you’d rather watch the pros from the comfort of your romantic beach picnic. There are also plenty of other water sports on offer including stand-up paddle-boarding, snorkelling or sailing charters.

The Moana Surfrider, A Westin Resort & Spa is just steps from the white sands and gentle waves of Waikiki Beach, the perfect place to learn how to surf.

Want to fall in love all over again? When staying at Hilton Hawaiian Village, vow renewal ceremonies are offered to keep the love going, no matter how far down the marriage line you are.

It’s a simple and memorable way to re-declare your love for one another! You’ll also get a keepsake certificate and two shell lei necklaces.
