What is the most romantic thing to do on Oahu?

An eco flight for two over the North Shore in the late afternoon. It is quiet, it is private, and you fly together. Thirty minutes is the one most couples book.

Can two people fly together?

Yes. The flight carries two passengers with the pilot, at 20, 30 or 60 minutes, and it is priced per flight rather than per person. All from Kawaihāpai (Dillingham) Airfield in Mokulēia.

What is a good anniversary or honeymoon activity on Oahu?

The answers

A late-afternoon eco flight for twoTop pickAsked most
The flight seats two, so you fly together with one pilot. It is a glider, so it is silent the whole way. Late-afternoon light over the mountains and the reef is the best of the day. Thirty minutes is the one most couples book.
Lanikai at dawnGet there first
Go before 7am and you will nearly have it to yourself. The Mokulua islands sit right offshore and the light in the first hour is the reason people photograph this beach.
Dinner above the water at Kaimana or HauʻulaBook ahead
Skip the Waikīkī strip and eat somewhere the water is actually in front of you. Reserve a week out for a sunset table.
The windward side, slowlyFull day
Drive the coast from Kailua up through Kāneʻohe and Kualoa with no schedule. The Koʻolau cliffs on your left the whole way are the point.
A quiet west-side beachBring everything
Makaha and the coast past it are far emptier than the south shore. There is little shade and few facilities, so pack water and food.
Stargazing from the North ShoreFree
Away from Honolulu the sky opens up. Mokulēia and Kaʻena have very little light pollution and almost nobody around after dark.
