If you want to give your special someone a vacation they’ll never forget, we’ve got the ideal guide on how to spend the perfect Valentine’s Day in Honolulu. Full of unique ideas and one-of-a-kind adventures, they’ll love every second of their time here. So, without further ado – let’s start designing your dream visit!
Option 1: Relaxing Valentine’s Day in Honolulu
If you’re looking for relaxing and peaceful ways to spend Valentine’s Day in Honolulu, here’s what we recommend:
Breakfast in Bed
Whether you’re in a vacation rental with a full kitchen or a hotel with room service, breakfast in bed on Valentine’s Day is the best way to start the morning.
If you’re preparing breakfast yourself, make sure to visit a farmers market or a shop with local produce the day before so you can make a meal full of island-fresh treats. From delicious fruits to local coffee, you can’t go wrong with made-in-Hawaii goods.
Afternoon Sub-Scooter & Snorkel Tour
Nothing is as relaxing as effortlessly exploring the vibrant marine world as you glide through the brilliant blue waters of Oahu. At Island Water Sports Hawaii, we’ve taken snorkeling to a whole new level. Gone are the days of hovering close to the surface and kicking around while you strain to see the fish below.
When you book our Sub-Scooter and Snorkel Tour, you get an up-close experience that’s out of this world. Our eco-friendly scooters allow you to breathe freely underwater thanks to the diving bell technology we use.
As you ride your self-propelled electric scooter 7-8 feet below the surface, you’ll be right in the mix of tropical fish, Hawaiian Green Sea Turtles, octopi, rays, and more! Plus, it’s so safe that you don’t even have to know how to swim to enjoy this activity.
After your ride, you can relax on our 50-foot power catamaran as you soak up the sun or go for a traditional snorkeling swim while others have their turn underwater. We provide light snacks and refreshments, and your ride out to the diving spot comes with incredible scenery and expert commentary about the island from our captains.
If you’ve traveled to Honolulu with the intention of asking your love an important question, you may even find this tour to be the perfect opportunity. It will certainly give you a great story!
Waikiki Sunsets
For the perfect end to your easygoing Valentine’s Day in Honolulu, watching a stunning Waikiki sunset is a must.
Take a blanket down to the shore and enjoy a quiet evening together, or if you want a more elevated sunset viewing experience, you can book a dinner and whale-watching cruise.
The Star of Honolulu is exceptional. With gourmet food and lively entertainment, it’s a perfect cap to your day. The best part is that Valentine’s Day still falls in peak whale-watching season. Nothing is more magical than seeing a magnificent humpback whale breach against a pink and orange sky as the sun slips away.
Option 2: Adventurous Honolulu Valentine’s Day
If you and your partner prefer a little adventure on Valentine’s Day, these activities will get your heart racing for more than just love!
Kickstart the day with a couple’s surf lesson on Waikiki Beach. Sparky’s Surf School offers surfing for all ages and abilities. Book a semi-private lesson and learn to ride the waves together.
In the afternoon, you can stick with the water activities by booking an exciting Sea-Bob Super Dolphin Tour with Island Water Sports Hawaii.
Slice through the water, making thrilling jumps, tight turns, and elegant dives as you ride our electric Sea Bob’s past schools of fish and inquisitive sea life. At speeds of up to 12 miles per hour, you’ll feel like a human-dolphin!
This self-propelled device is perfect for even novice swimmers, and our crew is always monitoring to ensure you have the best time on your ride.
This tour also includes time for traditional snorkeling, with all gear provided. When you’re ready to dry off, relax on the sundeck or in shaded areas as you sip on complimentary refreshments.
In the evening, we still recommend taking in the sunset, but this time, instead of a gentle cruise, why not take to the skies? A sunset helicopter tour around the island is an incredibly romantic way to finish the day.
Rainbow Helicopter Tours offers 50-minute rides high above Honolulu, showing you cascading waterfalls, cityscapes, and, of course, a gorgeous vantage point as you watch the sky come alive with color.
