For maximum wife points, book a reservation at Pulehu restaurant in the westin at ka'anapali.

Find out what time sunset is and book shortly after that but be at the beach early

I stumbled across it as the top rated restaurant on yelp and it lived up to all expecations.

Just go to Hookipa, 5 min outside of Paia. Park, watch the surfers, hit one of the food trucks…There are always 10-20 turtles just laying around the beach.

Cheers,
Maurice

That looks amazing. The Westin was one of the top choices for us before we settled on the Sheraton. Will for sure catch a few sunsets because the pictures I have googled look beautiful! Based on everything I have read here and other places it seems that basically no matter what we do, well besides being eaten by a shark, we can't go wrong.

Thanks! Love the laid back suggestion. I am getting more excited by the minute and each post!

A nice protected spot to swim is in Napili Bay. Up the coast a bit from Kaanapali, but before Kapalua. There's a reef offshore so the bay itself is nice and calm most of the day (there's a bit of surf at some point depending on the tide, can't remember when). I swam in there years ago before I even began swimming regularly. Doubt any sharks would venture in. The scariest thing I saw there snorkeling was an octopus.

Black sand beach, freshwater pond at Kiholo Bay on the Big Island. Secluded, romantic spot. Took my girlfriend (now wife) there on her first trip to Hawaii.

The green sand beach on southern tip of the Big Island is another secluded, romantic spot. About a 2 mile hike from the end of the road.

Enjoy!

Mai tais at the Kona Inn Restaurant bar.

Mmmmm, mai tais. I don't like most fruity drinks but mai tais are heaven.

If you are doing training rides on your honeymoon you are doing it wrong.

You should probabbly spend the week with your wife. 50 more years of training rides when you get back.

Oh I agree! These aren't "training" rides per say just a chance for me to explore the island some more. But I agree that I will be spending some amazing moments with my future wife!
