Are There All Inclusive Hawaii Vacation Packages?
When you first begin planning your Hawaii honeymoon, you may start by looking for all-inclusive resorts. This is a common mistake for first-time Hawaii visitors – especially if you vacationed in destinations like the Caribbean.
Hawaii doesn’t have any all-inclusive resorts. You know, the kind of places where you book your stay and get to enjoy unlimited onsite food, beverages, and activities.
BUT there is a way to enjoy a similar ease-of-planning while having an even more romantic and adventurous honeymoon. The secret? Don’t look at resorts. Instead, find the best Hawaii Honeymoon Packages through a local travel agent.
Hawaii Aloha Travel can book your flights, hotels, ground transportation, activities, and restaurant reservations. We can even put it together at one price so you know your vacation costs up-front. Want to learn more? Check out our best All Inclusive Hawaii Honeymoon Packages here!

Hawaii Honeymoon: The Essentials
A honeymoon can be as simple or as elaborate as you’d like. Are you a vacationer who likes to go and go? There’s so much to see and do that you’re not putting much rest time on your itinerary! Or, do you prioritize R&R on your vacation?
Either way, you’re going to want to make sure you plan all the essentials. The right elements will make any vacation feel like the best Hawaii honeymoon package!
Flights
Many airports have flights directly to Hawaii, but East Coast couples will likely need a layover for their Hawaii honeymoon flight. The shorter your layover, the quicker your travel day. But it will put you at a higher risk of missing your connection.
First Class: To Upgrade Or Not To Upgrade?
Your Hawaiian honeymoon could be the perfect time to upgrade your flight package to first class. Especially if you’re on a route with extra large lay-flat seats. But if first class is out of your budget, you could also consider mid-tier options, like premium economy or an exit row with more legroom.
Hotel
The right hotel for your honeymoon will depend on your vacation plans. If you want to relax poolside and mostly stay within your resort bubble, a remote hotel could be perfect. But if you like to be on-the-go, you may want a more central location. Here are a few of our favorite hotels for the best Hawaii honeymoon – many offer special packages for honeymoons or anniversaries!
- Four Seasons Resort Lanai
- 1 Hanalei Bay on Kauai
- Turtle Bay Resort on Oahu
- Andaz Maui at Wailea Resort
- Four Seasons Resort Hualālai on Hawaii Island
Transportation
Many couples visiting Hawaii opt for a rental car. We definitely recommend it if you want to go out and adventure on your own. If you’re staying at a resort with a high parking fee and you plan to do very little driving, then a rental car may not make sense.
If you skip the rental car, you’ll want to plan for an airport transfer, taxi or rideshares to access different areas, and upgrading activities so that they include transportation.
Activities
Activities are a big part of all the best Hawaii honeymoon packages. But it can mean different things to different couples. Do you want to pay for exclusive experiences, like sunset catamaran sails, VIP luau seats, snorkel excursions, and guided tours? Or do you want budget-friendly activities, like hikes, scenic drives, and beach days?
Most couples who plan a honeymoon or book a Hawaii honeymoon package opt for a little bit of both. Working with a travel agent like Hawaii Aloha Travel can help you narrow down the many activity options so that you can have a nice balance between spontaneous adventures and well-planned activities.
Here are some of the best activities to plan for a Hawaii honeymoon:
- A sunset cocktail sail
- An easy and scenic hike, like the Makapuʻu Point Lighthouse Trail on Oahu
- A relaxing beach day, either by your hotel or at a more secluded beach
- A Hawaii road trip (all the islands have great scenic driving routes to enjoy)
- Something a little adventurous, like a snorkel excursion, a guided kayak tour, or surf lessons
Food
Many travelers like to plan their dining in advance, while others like to see where the day takes them. Still, we recommend reserving a nicer dinner if you’d like to wine and dine during your Hawaii honeymoon. There are many romantic, upscale restaurants on each island. But don’t forget to check out the delicious hole-in-the-wall eateries and food trucks too.
Hawaii Honeymoon Luau: Our Take
If you’ve never been to a luau, your honeymoon could be the perfect opportunity to experience a magical evening of food and entertainment. But, if you’re traveling on a budget, you may opt out of a luau and instead put that money toward a nice dinner or a different activity.
