December in Honolulu is magical! 80 degree days are perfect for surfing at the gorgeous beaches and cooler nights are ideal for beachfront dinners, holiday lights are woven through palm trees, humpback whale season is just beginning and there are fewer crowds!
Some Favorite Honeymoon Highlights include waking up in an oceanfront room with the balcony doors open, stargazing on the beach wrapped in hotel robes, shopping for matching Hawaiian shirts just because, learning the hula during a luau and watching the city lights sparkle on the water at night!

Waikiki Beach Sunsets: While staying at the Hilton Waikiki Beach Resort, you simply must take a long, sweet stroll along Waikiki Beach right when the sun is dipping into the Pacific. It's truly breathtaking, and a sunset cruise is a mighty romantic way to toast your new life!
Hiking Diamond Head: For the active couples, put on your walking shoes and hike up to the top of Diamond Head Crater. The panoramic view of the city and the coastline is a sight to behold—makes for a great new profile picture, too!
A Day Trip to the North Shore: Hop in a car and head up to the famous North Shore. It's a bit quieter and has a charming, laid-back feel. You can watch the big waves (depending on the season), kayak or paddleboard wth the green turtles and grab some famous garlic shrimpfrom one of the food trucks. Don't skip the shave ice from Matsumoto Shave Ice !
Indulge in Island Cuisine: Honolulu has some truly divine dining. Treat yourselves to a fancy dinner overlooking the ocean. Or, for something really fun and traditional, book an authentic Luau—it’s a wonderful way to experience the local culture, music, and food.
Quiet Time: Honestly, though, after all that wedding planning, you deserve a break! Just grab a couple of lounge chairs at one of those beautiful resorts, order a fruity drink, and just be together. That is the whole point, after all!
