Best proposal ideas on Oahu, Hawaii

Get a “YES!” when you propose to your partner in Hawaii!  Make those memories that last a lifetime and an epic engagement story that you can tell friends and family for years to come. I’ve lived in Hawaii over 30 years and I know first hand how magical this place is. My team and I have compiled some of our best proposal ideas, on Oahu, to help you plan for an epic, grand, and out of this world super secret surprise destination proposal.  

1. Romantic Proposal on the Beach

This is hands down one of the best ways to propose while you are on vacation in Hawaii.  It might seem common, but what’s important here is the element of surprise.  You can walk hand in hand on the beach during sunset to set the mood.  Add on a picnic and/or rose petal heart and your partner will be so incredibly surprised.  There are many beaches in Oahu, Hawaii that are perfect for this such as:

Magic Island, also known as Ala Moana Beach Park.  This is seriously where the magic is at for that epic sunset proposal.  You get the best of both worlds, the beach and sunset on the west facing shore, and a view of Diamond Head State Monument and Waikiki on the East.

Waialae Beach, about a 10 minute drive from Waikiki, near the Kahala Resort.  This spot is super romantic especially if you want a little more privacy from other beachgoers.   You can spend more exclusive time with your partner here before or after you propose. Proposing here is magical especially during golden hour and sunset.  The best part about this is you can check out the restaurants at the Kahala Resort right after to celebrate!

2. Secret Proposal during Sunset on a Boat

Are you looking for the ultimate Hawaii proposal experience? Then think about booking a boat or canoe activity where it will be just you and your partner at sunset in a romantic intimate setting, perfect for a proposal. Sunset cruises are also fabulous and a great way to celebrate when your partner said “YES!”  Some cruises include a meal, music, entertainment, and an amazing bar to celebrate.

3. Horseback Riding Proposal

If your partner is into horses, Hawaii also offers horseback riding opportunities that can set a romantic mood for you. You can schedule a ride with your partner at Kualoa ranch.  The intimate setting and breathtaking views around you can be the perfect moment you need to pop the question of a lifetime. 

This is a unique surprise proposal idea, how many people propose in Hawaii via horseback riding? Your partner will never see it coming. This is perfect for everyone who loves animals. 

4. Proposal on a Helicopter

You can book helicopter rides in Hawaii and take your partner high up in the air while you propose. It can be romantic; you will take in amazing views of Hawaii. This is a grand proposal idea and your partner is sure going to love telling people you proposed on a helicopter. 

6.  Waterfall proposal

Do you want to propose in a typical Hawaii backdrop but not on a beach? Well, you can propose near a waterfall. You can surprise your partner on a hike and pop the question in front of any of Hawaii’s mesmerizing waterfalls. It will be amidst nature and tranquil while also being secluded. Do you want the waterfall, but not the hike?  No problem!  We know a few places which are easy to get to without hours of trekking through the wilderness.
