And, of course, finding the perfect ring is just as important as the moment itself— discover a stunning selection of engagement rings from our Honolulu jewelry store that will make your proposal truly unforgettable.

Sunrise on Haleakalā

Watching the sunrise from the summit of Haleakalā is a truly magical experience, as well as a breathtaking setting for a proposal. As the sky transforms with brilliant shades of orange, pink, and purple, you’ll be standing above the clouds, creating a surreal and unforgettable moment with your beloved. The crisp mountain air and serene silence add to the romance, allowing you to focus entirely on your partner as you ask the most important question of your life. A proposal atop Haleakalā is pure, intimate, and absolutely unforgettable and the photos will certainly be unparalleled.

Underwater Adventure

For an adventurous partner, an underwater proposal adds an unexpected twist to the big moment. Equal parts stunning and unconventional, an underwater adventure creates a story you’ll both cherish forever. While snorkeling or scuba diving in Hawaii’s crystal-clear waters, surprise your partner with a marine-life-friendly sign that reads, “Will You Marry Me?” Secure it safely with biodegradable materials and be sure to clean up everything afterward to protect the ocean’s beauty. As colorful fish swim by and sunlight dances through the waves, your unforgettable proposal will be as breathtaking as the underwater world around you.

Dolphin or Whale-Watching Excursion

From breathtaking sea life to captivating tropical birds, Hawaii is home to wildlife unlike any other place on Earth. For an animal-loving partner, an exciting dolphin or whale-watching proposal brings the magic of Hawaii’s marine life into your special moment. This proposal will take you out on the open water, surrounded by the beauty of the Pacific, while playful dolphins leap nearby or a majestic humpback whale breaches in the distance. The presence of these incredible creatures makes the moment feel almost otherworldly— symbolizing the love, adventure, and new beginnings you’ll create together.

Helicopter Proposal Over a Waterfall

A breathtaking and memorable helicopter proposal over one of Hawaii’s majestic waterfalls is a choice that’s nothing short of cinematic. As you soar above lush valleys and cascading falls, the breathtaking scenery will set the stage for an unforgettable moment as you prepare to bend down on one knee. Whether you’re flying over the cascading Jurassic Park Falls on Kauai or the hidden Sacred Falls on Oahu, the view below is certain to be pure magic. Just as the pilot hovers over a stunning cascade, you pull out the ring— creating a proposal as epic as the landscapes that make Hawaii so extraordinary.

Luau Love Story

Surprise your beloved with a proposal that combines the fun of date night with the excitement of a special event. A luau proposal blends tradition, excitement, and romance into one unforgettable experience. Enjoy vibrant hula performances, fire dancing, and island cuisine with your partner until the moment builds toward a truly magical surprise. Consider arranging for a hula dancer to bring your partner on stage or incorporate a special dance that ends with your proposal. Under the glow of tiki torches and the sounds of Hawaiian music, you’ll create a memory filled with culture, love, and the spirit of aloha.
