Romantic activities for couples and honeymooners in Waikiki

A honeymooner’s guide to unforgettable moments at OUTRIGGER Waikiki

Waikiki is a dream destination for couples and honeymooners. Golden sunsets, ocean breezes and unforgettable experiences create the perfect setting to celebrate love. When you stay at an OUTRIGGER resort or hotel in Waikiki, romance comes naturally, with curated experiences, beachfront dining and moments designed to slow down and savor time together.

Here’s how to plan a romantic Waikiki getaway filled with beauty, culture and connection.

Wake up to Waikiki together

Couples staying in a club room or suite at OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beach Resort or OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort can begin each morning at the Voyager 47 Club Lounge. Enjoy breakfast overlooking Waikiki Beach, watch surfers glide across the water and ease into the day without rushing.

Share a sunrise or sunset on Waikiki Beach

Waikiki Beach is just as magical early in the morning as it is at dusk. Walk hand in hand along the shoreline, feel the warm sand underfoot and let the rhythm of the waves set the tone for the day. Book a private pool cabana for a relaxed afternoon together.

Learn to surf or sail side by side

For adventurous couples, take a surf lesson together with Faith Surf School or Gone Surfing. Waikiki’s gentle waves make it approachable, even if it’s your first time.

For something more leisurely, book a catamaran sail off the coast of Waikiki. Watching the sun reflect on the water while sailing past Diamond Head is a quintessential honeymoon moment.

Connect through Hawaiian culture

OUTRIGGER’s complimentary cultural activities offer couples a meaningful way to connect with Hawaii. Learn to string a lei, play the ukulele or listen to stories rooted in island tradition. These shared moments often become the most memorable parts of a honeymoon.

Savor island flavors and signature cocktails

Waikiki is filled with romantic dining options. Sip a signature mai tai with sweeping views of Diamond Head at Monkeypod Kitchen, or enjoy open-air dining and live music at Hula Grill Waikiki. For an evening of entertainment, book dinner and a show at Tanaka of Tokyo or catch live performances at Blue Note Hawaii.

Experience Waikiki after dark

Live music is part of Waikiki’s heartbeat. Spend an evening at Kani Ka Pila Grille, where award-winning Hawaiian musicians perform nightly, or enjoy craft brews and live entertainment at Maui Brewing Co. For coffee, dessert or a late-night stop, Hawaiian Aroma Caffé offers a cozy, Instagram-worthy setting.

Make it official or renew your vows

Celebrate your love with a beachfront vow renewal at OUTRIGGER Waikiki Beach Resort or OUTRIGGER Reef Waikiki Beach Resort. Whether it’s an intimate moment or a celebration with family, exchanging vows with the ocean as your backdrop is unforgettable.

Don’t miss Cirque du Soleil 'Auana

One of the most romantic evenings in Waikiki is a night at 'Auana, Cirque du Soleil’s resident show. The performance blends Hawaiian storytelling, live music, graceful choreography and breathtaking acrobatics into a visually stunning experience. It’s a must-see show and a perfect honeymoon highlight.

Unwind and reconnect

Balance adventure with relaxation. Work out together at the resort gym, enjoy Pilates by the pool at OUTRIGGER Waikiki Paradise Hotel or order room service and unwind with OUTRIGGER Journey TV, featuring local stories about art, culture and ocean conservation.
