Planning the perfect proposal can feel like a lot of pressure, but don’t worry—you’re in the right place!
Hawaii’s stunning landscapes offer endless opportunities to make your special moment unforgettable.
Whether you’re dreaming of a sunset beach proposal or a lush mountain backdrop, these five handpicked spots are guaranteed to wow your partner.
And if you’re thinking about hiring a photographer (like me!) to capture the magic, I’ve got you covered every step of the way.
1. Kaneohe, Oahu
Kaneohe’s lush green mountains and the sparkling turquoise waters of Kaneohe Bay create a dreamy, tropical setting. For an extra-special proposal, consider renting a boat to reach the Kaneohe Sandbar. Imagine asking the big question on a sandy oasis in the middle of the ocean—just you, your love, and the breathtaking views. Pro tip: Time it for low tide and bring leis or a small bouquet for an added romantic touch.
2. Kona, Big Island
The Kona coast’s dramatic lava rock shores and epic sunsets make it a top pick for adventurous couples. Picture this: a secluded black sand beach, waves gently crashing in the background, and the golden light of sunset illuminating the moment. Or, for a more private vibe, charter a sunset cruise where you can propose out on the water. Bonus: You can toast with champagne after they say “yes!”
3. Makena/Wailea, Maui
Maui’s southwestern coast is pure romance. Makena’s is perfect for couples who love wide-open spaces, while Wailea’s smaller, intimate beaches are ideal for a more private moment. Pro tip: Plan your proposal around sunrise or sunset for soft, flattering light in your photos. And don’t forget to pack a blanket and snacks for a post-proposal picnic—or let me set one up for you!
4. Ko‘Olina, Oahu
Ko‘Olina’s calm lagoons and upscale resort vibes make it feel like a little slice of paradise. Propose on the sandy shores of one of its famous lagoons, then celebrate with a romantic dinner at one of the nearby oceanfront restaurants. Insider tip: Weekdays are less crowded, so you can have the perfect intimate moment without too many onlookers.
5. Kapalua Bay, Maui
Kapalua Bay’s iconic crescent-shaped beach and crystal-clear waters make it one of Maui’s most romantic spots. This beach is perfect for a golden-hour proposal with palm trees swaying in the breeze and the sun setting over the horizon.
