Oahu Honeymoon

Couples who're hoping to explore a tropical paradise, should plan an Oahu honeymoon. Oahu is the third-largest Hawaiian island and home to the state’s capital, Honolulu. An Oahu honeymoon can offer a bit of everything, too. From the iconic beach at Waikiki to historic sites at Pearl Harbor, there's plenty of nature to explore at this Hawaiian Island. Those who are looking for a thrill can try their hand at surfing, dive with sharks off the coast or swim with dolphins or stingrays. On the other hand, history buffs will want to check out the Iolani Palace and the Pearl Harbor memorial. Nightlife and shopping are also plentiful as are spas and restaurants leaving you no shortage of ways to fill your time here. Oahu is the gateway to the rest of the Hawaiian islands so many pass through here on their way to other islands. It is the most accessible island from the US mainland and many other countries with flights arriving to Honolulu from destinations around the world.

An Oahu honeymoon is ideal for couples who want to enjoy nature but also seek lots of activities and adventure. 

When to Go

The weather in Oahu is nice year round with the rainiest months being December and January. The island is the least crowded from April to June and September to December with the busiest times for Oahu honeymoons being from mid-December to mid-April.
