ISLAND HOPPING IN HAWAI ‘ I H awai‘i offers six romantic islands, tailor-made for two.

Idyllic lush settings, quiet crescent beaches, luxurious resort pampering—it’s all here, just waiting for the two of you. A refuge for body, mind and heart, “rejuvenating” is a word often used on Kaua‘i. INSIDER TIP: Explore the towering cliffs of the Nāpali Coast on the North Shore by taking a boat tour or cruise. In the summer you can even explore Nāpali’s sea caves by kayak. O'AHU O‘ahu is a vibrant gathering spot with a unique blend of relaxation and excitement. Wiggle your toes in the warm sand. Listen to the melodic sound of the surf. Stroll into colorful shops, where local crafts, gorgeous jewelry and fine art dazzle the eyes. Savor every delectable bite of fresh and irresistible farm-to-table cuisine and explore the vibrant nightlife. Watch the moon and count the constellations. Experience the buzz and energy of O‘ahu. INSIDER TIP: Experience a traditional Hawaiian healing art – a couple’s lomilomi (massage) – which incorporates broad, rhythmic strokes. MAUI Let the stresses of work and city life fall away as Maui works its magic on your body and spirit. From truly revitalizing spa experiences to idyllic resorts, quaint towns, and spectacular cuisine, Maui soothes and captivates at every turn. Everywhere you look there’s romance— sweethearts strolling together embraced by the sound of slack-key guitar and the sweet fragrance of floral lei. INSIDER TIP: Watch an intimate sunrise, wrapped together in a blanket more than 10,000 feet above sea level at the top of Haleakalā. ISLAND OF HAWAI'I The island of Hawai‘i, right at the intersection of pure beauty and pure bliss, is an island made for exploration. Let your senses awaken to the sounds and textures of the landscape— birds and waterfalls, lava fields and sun- warmed black sand.
