Congratulations, you want to propose to your significant other while visiting Oahu. The island of Oahu offers a variety of beautiful locations for a memorable proposal. Here are some of the best places to propose on Oahu.

1. Makapu’u Lookout

YUP, THIS IS MY FAV! Located on the southeastern coast of Oahu offers incredible views of the ocean. This location offers mountains, greenery, tidepools, rocks, and sandy beach. PRO TIP: You may see Whales here in the wintertime!

Best time of Day. Sunrise or Sunset

2. Lanikai Beach

Located on Oahu’s windward coast, Lanikai Beach is renowned for its pristine white sand and crystal-clear turquoise waters. This location can be very busy in the afternoon but is my favorite sunrise location.

3. Kualoa Regional Park

Known for its stunning landscapes and movie-worthy scenery, Jurassic park Fans rejoice. This is one of my top three photo locations because it offers it all; mountains, greenery, and two beach views. This is always a quiet location.

4. The Sandbar

Located on the windward side of Oahu, this natural formation can be found at the center of Kaneohe Bay. Depending on the tide, it can be covered with waist-high water or completely exposed, creating a small beach in the middle of the ocean.
