You deserve to have a truly magical honeymoon, and what better destination to bring out the magic in your relationship than Hawaii? With stunning views, beautiful landscapes, and even better beaches, there is something for every couple on Hawaii. Plan your honeymoon today and capture a little piece of paradise as you celebrate your new life with your spouse.
Hawaii Low Season to Plan Your Honeymoon For
Though the standard practice is to go off on your honeymoon immediately after the wedding there is honestly no need to rush. If you always dreamed of a winter wedding but don’t want to deal with the crowds on Hawaii for your honeymoon then it is okay to wait for the low periods to start up again.
These low periods occur twice a year, from April to June and again from September to December. Planning your wedding around when you want is best to visit Hawaii is perfectly acceptable, but so too is waiting a month or so until things start to quiet down in that little slice of paradise and you can secure yourselves some great deals.
Due to Hawaii’s location and tropical climate the weather stays relatively the same throughout the year so waiting for a low period is a great way to make your money go further.
Choose the Type of Honeymoon Right for You
If lazing on a beach and being pampered for a week next to palm trees is not your cup of tea then it’s not your cup of tea. There are so many great ways to explore Hawaii both on the long term and the short term.

Top Events You Must Enjoy on Your Honeymoon
A Traditional Hawaiian Luau
A luau is typically reserved to celebrate a big event, like a birthday or graduation, and is done with family and friends. There are, however, commercial luau’s which will take you right to the heart of the action but do beware. Most are tacky, overpriced, and not very traditional at all. There are still some hidden gems, but see what the locals think of them before committing. A traditional luau features hula dancing, great music, storytelling, and of course amazing island delicacies.
Spend a Day on a Hike
Driving through scenic roads is a great way to see a lot of Hawaii even in a short period of time, but nothing will ever beat being on a hike yourself. Going through the stunning jungle, seeing waterfalls and deep blue pools, and enjoying that feeling of satisfaction when you finally reach the top. Choose your hike wisely however and remember to keep to your fitness level for safety.
Go to the Spa
Hawaii is full of resorts, which means it also offers great options when it comes to becoming pampered. Even if you aren’t a guest at the resort you can still book for a spa package or even a day pass to their pool or water facilities.
Have a Day on the Water
Surf, paddleboard, swim, dive, snorkel – whatever you like doing on the water get out there. Try something different or just enjoy floating in the gentle tides of an isolated bay. With so many stunning beaches having a day out on the water that is full of fun and sun is a must for your honeymoon.
