Welcome back to our blog on the top honeymoon destinations of 2018. In part one of this series, we looked at some incredible vacation resorts and cities in Jamaica and Italy. In part two, we’ll take a look at some popular destinations in Hawaii and the Bahamas.
Hawaii
Hawaii remains to be one of the most popular honeymoon spots for couples. If white sandy beaches, crystal blue waters, and soaring mountains sound appealing to you, you just may want to book your honeymoon vacation here. One of the best things about Hawaii is the fact that there are six main islands each with their very own attractions. This means that you’ll have the opportunity to choose which island resonates best with you and your loved one. Some of the most popular Hawaii islands for honeymooners include:
Maui
As the second-most visited island in Hawaii, people from all over the world flock to this gorgeous tourist destination. If you like beaches, you’ll be happy to know that Maui has an abundance of must-see beaches where you can get some sun, drink a cold beverage, and enjoy time with the one you love (this is especially true along the West Coast). Some fun facts about Maui include:
- Maui’s nickname is “Valley Isle.” This is because the island sits between two mountains.
- According to Maui law, no one can own a beach on the Hawaiian island.
- Sick and tired of seeing large billboards as you drive down the highway? In Maui, you don’t have to worry about this nuisance. Other than some traffic and safety signs, Maui does not have billboards, which means you can enjoy the natural landscape around you without having your view obstructed.
- Maui is home to Haleakala, which is the largest dormant volcano in the world. This volcano is big enough to hold the entire island of Manhattan!
- There are 81 accessible beaches that you can visit on Maui. You’ll even find beaches with red, white, gold, and black sand.
- If whale watching sounds like a fun honeymoon activity, Maui is the place to go. Each winter, an amazing 3,000 whales visit Maui waters.
- Temperatures in Maui range from 70 to 80 degrees Fahrenheit year-round.
Kauai
Kauai is the Hawaiian island of romance, making it ideal for honeymooners and couples. Also known as “Garden Isle,” Kauai is the greenest Hawaiian island of them all. From scenic beaches, to snorkeling and windsurfing adventures, Kauai has everything you need. Let’s take a look at some fun facts about Kauai:
- Kauai is the fourth largest island in the Hawaiian Island Chain.
- There have been more than 60 movies filmed on Kauai. Some of the most popular include Jurassic Park and Pirates of the Caribbean.

- With more than one million visitors a year, one-third of the island population (at any given time) is made up of tourists and visitors.
- Kauai’s Building Code says that “no building shall be taller than a Coconut Palm.” This means that there is a four-story limit on all vertical construction on the island.
