That’s why we are here with a list of things to do and what not to do in Hawaii.

Make sure that you are following our list on the honeymoon itinerary. Let’s get started.

Things Not To Do In Hawaii

1. Ignoring Food Trucks

Well, restaurants offer luscious recipes to lure you but mobile dining is equally famous in Hawaii. You will find lots of food trucks on your way to Oahu, Maui, or Maui. So, when you are enjoying the sunshine, pristine water, and warm sand at either of Hawaii top beaches, let your taste buds dive into the food culture of the beach.

What to order? Here are some local recipes to try:

• Garlic butter shrimp
• Macaroni salad
• Peruvian pork tacos
• Pulled pork sandwich
• Shave ice creams
• Jamaican jerk chicken

Saying ‘no’ to them means missing out on some exotic local flavours that are something foodie couples won’t dare to do. Right?

2. Playing With Turtles And Monk Seals

Hawaii is all about beaches and water sports so snorkeling, scuba diving, and other fun-filled activities must be on your list. You and your partner may feel overwhelmed when fishes or other marine creatures pass by touching you underwater. But touching them back is not at all permissible. And sometimes, turtles and seals come out of the water to relax under the sun on the warm sand, don’t get too excited seeing them. Admire them from a distance but don’t get closer.

Don’t lose heart; there are many more fun things to do in Hawaii on beaches like:

• Go on whale watching tour at Maui
• Beach hopping with your better half
• See the underwater world at Molokini
• Get an unforgettable hee Nalu (surfing) experience in Oahu

Soak in the culture of Hawaii at the traditional luau celebration that is held every day. Hula dancers wearing grass-skirt at the bottom and coconut-bra will entertain you every evening at the beach.

Match their steps along with your partner, enjoy tiki drinks, and make your evenings memorable.

3. Collecting Natural Souvenirs

Visiting Big Island National Volcano Park is one of the best things to do in Hawaii for every tourist including couples. The park’s black sand, Kilauea Volcano, and lava make the perfect view to capture with your camera. The lava rocks around the Volcano are special because of their shapes and colour but taking them home is an offense. Moreover, there is a myth associated with lava rocks that says – taking away lava rocks brings bad luck as they are cursed by the Goddess of Volcano (Pele).

4. Speaking Pidgins

Even if you or your partner knows a bit of the Hawaiian language, don’t open your mouth unnecessarily. A wrong word can offend locals and speaking pidgins (slang) will put you in trouble. What else not to do in Hawaii? Referring to them as one. It is because the island is comprised of ethnic groups and referring to them as one by calling Hawaiians may hurt their sentiments. So be careful about your choice of words.

5. Refusing Lei

On your entry to Hawaiian island, your hotel staff will offer you a warm welcome offering a lei. It is a garland of flowers and petals that serve as a gesture of love, honour, and the aloha spirit of the island. Saying no to it is a disrespect of their culture rather than accepting Lei with heart. Throwing it anywhere is again disrespectful; rather discard all the petals of lei in the sea. Apart from these most important things not to do in Hawaii, you should be careful about a few more, to make the most of your honeymoon vacation.

• Always take a rental car service
• Stay back from blowholes at Maui island
• Never show your back to the ocean as waves can get aggressive anytime and push you on the ground
• Bringing citrus fruits from your home to Hawaii is strictly prohibited

While keeping these things not to do in Hawaii in your mind, don’t forget to enjoy your honeymoon vacation. There is so much to do, serene places to visit, and things to see. Your trip will be the best one on this paradise island and you may want to settle here forever with your love.

So, get ready to fill your love buckets with never-ending experience and adventure.
