After college, she chose to trade in her winter boots for slippahs and moved to the beautiful island of Oahu, where she has been living for more than five years. She lives on the west side but is constantly taking mini-road trips across the island and visits the neighboring islands whenever she can getaway. She loves hiking, snorkeling, locally-grown coffee, and finding the best acai bowl on Oahu.
Whether you’ve just met someone special or you’ve been married for twenty years, going on dates are crucial for a healthy relationship. Luckily, in Hawaii, we have access to a variety of incredible date ideas – many of which are free! So, instead of dinner and the latest romantic comedy, check out any of these thirteen Hawaii date ideas that you need to do as soon as possible!
Rent kayaks or stand up paddleboards and enjoy an afternoon on the water. A double kayak will force you to work together, and you can bond over the incredible views.
If you’re looking for the perfect date night in Hawaii, get out on the water!
They say that couples who work out together, stay together. Hiking is one of Hawaii’s greatest activities, and it will give you the opportunity to reconnect with each other – and nature. Pack a picnic lunch for a little added romance.
These mountain trails can take you to some of the most romantic places in Hawaii!
Some of the best dates are free, like grabbing a blanket and heading to your favorite westward facing beach to watch a magnificent Hawaiian sunset. Don’t forget your camera and maybe a bottle of wine. This is such a great idea to spend the evening together in Hawaii.
From ziplining through the forest to jumping out of an airplane, new adventures abound in Hawaii. Trying something new with your significant other will not only be fun (most of the time) – but it will create a lasting memory the two of you can share for years to come.
Talk about a rush of adventure! There are so many ways to bond over fun things to do in Hawaii.
Coffee dates are just so… typical. Instead, grab a cup of coffee and tour the very farm where that coffee was grown. This can reduce pressure since natural pauses in conversation won't seem so awkward while walking through a farm.
Everyone knows about the great coffee farms on Hawaii, but we think this is a great Oahu date night idea, too!
Head out in the morning and spend all day exploring a new town: do a little shopping, check out the town’s well-known landmarks, browse local galleries, and grab lunch.
There’s no better way to connect than exploring everywhere around you.
Grab your gear and head underwater at your favorite snorkel spot, but don’t forget to bring that Go Pro for a magnificent underwater kissing photograph. Aren’t necessarily comfortable snorkeling? Head to the Waikiki Aquarium or the Maui Ocean Center instead.
There’s so many great ways to date and learn a little more about the ocean life around you!
Okay, so I’m not sure you can really call it a road trip in Hawaii, but why not drive around your island, stopping whenever you like to explore the sites. The best philosophic conversations I’ve ever had with my husband occurred while we were driving long distances.
Drive the island, but add some romance with this date idea in Hawaii: waterfall road trip!
Forget fancy hotels, bed and breakfasts are where it’s at. If you’re near Lahaina, the Ho’olio House is a must-visit for a romantic getaway with your significant other – whether you’ve been together for a year, or fifty.
There’s so many great places to go and enjoy!
Why not take a step out of your comfort zone and check out a restaurant you have never been to. Better yet, try a type of food you’ve never had before.
From casual to fine dining, waterfront to mountain top, there are tons of great eats on the Hawaiian islands.
While long walks on the beach are fantastic, why not take a walk through one of Hawaii’s incredible botanical gardens instead? The beautifully manicured gardens make for the quite the romantic setting.
The tropical gardens all across the islands are a great representation of the gorgeous scenery across the islands.
From the Hawaii State Art Museum in Honolulu to the Big Island’s Pacific Tsunami Museum, there is always a great museum or cultural site out there just waiting to be explored. Impress your new beau with your knowledge of art, or learn something together.
Many people don’t think museums, but there’s such a fun way to get out of the house.
If you’re looking for more than just a date night, why not make it an entire weekend? Island hopping is perfect for anniversary celebrations, or even as an alternative to exchanging Christmas gifts. Who needs material objects when you can visit another island?
Such a delectable date idea in Hawaii!
