If you’re like me, you love a good hotel stay! Oahu has a variety of resorts and hotels, perfect for starting your honeymoon off on the right foot – with a beachfront view, no less!
Whether you want to experience a luau during your Hawaii elopement or just grab a few drinks with the locals, Oahu is the best island for experiencing Hawaii’s nightlife! The island has bars ranging from cozy to chic.

Because Oahu is the most touristic island, it’s also the easiest to get around. There’s public transportation (buses and trolleys) and ride-sharing, or you could rent a car.
