Hawaii - The Perfect Honeymoon Destination

Everybody knows that the best part about getting married is the Honeymoon. So when choosing a honeymoon destination, you should choose wisely. You cannot go wrong with Hawaii. It has the perfect climate, varying only a few degrees in temperature from season to season. Even in the winter you can expect to have eighty degree temperatures. You will have five different options to choose from when deciding which island to visit during your stay in Hawaii. Each one is beautiful in its own way, and each has its own unique charm.

Because of such a variety, you can stay as long as you want without having to repeat any experiences. I would recommend that you stay ten days at the very least. That's because there is simply so much to see! You want to make sure that you don't miss a thing; and in most cases you have traveled so far to get there, you might as well make the most of your journey.

Oahu is a good place to start a honeymoon. You will experience stellar room service, as well as have an extensive variety of fine dining options. Honolulu will offer the most night life of any of the islands, so if you dare to venture out, this is the place to do so. There are two historic hotels located in Honolulu, the Royal Hawaiian and the Westin Moana Surfrider. They're both located within a stone's throw from each other.

Follow up:

I highly recommend the Sheraton Moana Surf rider. The hotel is over a hundred years old, but has been kept so up to date, that you will be surrounded in total luxury. Upon arrival you will be greeted in Hawaiian style with a fresh flower lei. Make sure you let them know that you're on your honeymoon when you make your reservations. They usually reserve a special welcome gift for honeymooners such as yourselves. Expect to be thoroughly pampered because the staff is very eager to please. The beach itself on Waikiki is nothing spectacular, but it is still a must on list of places to visit.

If beaches are your thing you should take a trip over to the north shore of Oahu, before leaving the island for your next destination, Maui. Romance is also ripe in Maui. There is nothing more romantic than sipping a mai-tai on your balcony, while watching the sunset over the pacific.

The road to Hana is a popular attraction for visitors. On the island's eastern side, you can find the quiet town of Hana. The road to Hana is not so much about the actual destination, but more about the journey itself. The trip allows for plenty of stops along the way, so expect to spend about ten to twelve hours on the road. Hundreds of breathtaking waterfalls, a forest reserve, botanical gardens, and black sand beaches are only some of the things you will encounter while on the highway.

Because some destinations are only accessible by 4-wheel drive vehicles, renting one is highly recommended. After all, you can't miss out on those romantic stopovers by the secluded beaches.
