On Hawaii vacations for couples, let the romance flow. The legends and lore of Hawaii just add to the romantic nature of the islands. On your next Hawaii cruise vacation, look out for the unusual naupaka flower that looks torn in half. Legend says this is because a beautiful princess named Naupaka fell in love with a commoner; their romance was forbidden. It's said she took a flower from her hair and ripped it in half, giving her lover the other piece before they finally parted ways. The next day, the flowers on the island bloomed in half flowers, saddened by the star-crossed lovers' fate.
From honeymoons and babymoons to anniversaries or commemorating a benchmark birthday, Hawaii is the perfect place for couples up for a little adventure. Here are some top must-see spots and the best places to visit in Hawaii for couples.
Wildlife aficionados will enjoy a visit to Kapalua Beach in Maui, one of the best Hawaiian islands for couples. Here, you've got sea turtles, marine birds and awesome underwater life to explore. Or sit back on immaculate white sands, have a swim and let the sound of the crashing surf lull you into a mid-afternoon nap. If you hang around for the sunset, bring a camera because experiencing golden hour here is one of the most romantic things to do in Maui. Pucker up, you love birds, and say Aloha!
Romantic getaways await on a Hawaii cruise.
