What to do in Oahu for couples

Oahu's romantic itinerary tends to follow the sunsets, which means heading west once the sun starts dropping. Maita'i Catamaran sails right off Waikiki Beach at sunset with Diamond Head behind you and the city lights coming on. Chief's Luau is the highest-rated luau evening on the island and works as well for a couples night as for a family one. If you want something quieter, Wild Side Specialty Tours on the west coast runs semi-private boats led by marine biologists, with whales in winter and dolphins routine year-round. National Geographic recommended.
