Most Romantic Scenic Lookouts on Oʻahu

While Prince Waikiki offers incredible views, Oʻahu is brimming with scenic spots to share a quiet moment.

 

  • Lanikai Pillbox: Escape to the windward side for panoramic views of Lanikai Beach and the iconic Nā Mokulua islets. It’s the perfect spot for a sunrise picnic or a quiet moment soaking up the atmosphere.
  • Chasing Waterfalls: Prince Waikiki’s central location puts you within easy driving distance of lush trails leading to Manoa Falls, Maunawili Falls, and Likeke Falls. A pleasant hike through the rainforest sets the stage for a memorable day in nature.

 

Chasing the Sun: Sunrises and Sunsets

While nighttime has a well-earned reputation for romance, Oʻahu offers breathtaking beauty at both ends of the day. Whether you are early risers or twilight admirers, these locations offer the perfect backdrop for a shared moment.

 

  • Morning Glow: Watch the horizon become illuminated in gold from the summit of Koko Crater or the majestic peak of Diamond Head
  • Evening Hues: For a serene, sea-level spectacle just minutes from Prince Waikiki, Magic Island at Ala Moana Regional Park offers an incredible panoramic view of the ocean, Honolulu’s skyline, and Diamond Head — a perfect way to end your day.

 

Contemplate Art as a Couple

 

Nothing gets the conversation flowing quite like a visit to an art museum like Oʻahu’s Honolulu Museum of Art. Immerse yourselves in fascinating collections featuring over 60,000 works of art, including masterpieces from Van Gogh and Monet, as well as Pacific and Polynesian art. Wander among one of the finest Asian art collections in the United States. Discover contemporary Hawaiian art and Georgia O’Keeffe originals that were inspired by the Hawaiian Islands. This vast and diverse collection is yours to explore and later discuss over drinks and dinner.

 

Prince tip: Guests of Prince Waikiki receive complimentary admission for two to the Honolulu Museum of Art.

 

Watch Sparks Fly Overhead

 

Honolulu fireworks

 

Every Friday night, the Waikiki skyline erupts in color. There is no better vantage point for the weekly fireworks show (7:45 pm) than the infinity pool deck at Hinana Bar.

 

Enjoy the breathtaking display overlooking the Pacific Ocean as you bask in the warmth of our iconic adults-only infinity pool. The magic continues after the fireworks. Hinana Bar hosts SunSets LIVE every Friday through Sunday. Enjoy hours of live music from up-and-coming local artists — including DJ KK every Saturday and DJ Jem every Sunday — paired with creative cocktails and fresh seasonal fare.
