Destinations: Hawaii: Oahu
Details
If you like to mix things up for your honeymoon, you may prefer Oahu over the other islands. While it still maintains its Hawaiian flavor, it also has a more cosmopolitan attitude as well. On your Oahu honeymoon, you can spend the morning hitting the world-class greens, lay by the pool or check out the surfers on the North Shore in the afternoon, and at night, have a five-star meal followed by a night out in Waikiki. An Oahu honeymoon is for the couple that wants to get away and relax, as well as live it up.
If you are a city guy, an outdoor guy or a bit of both - you will be loving it on your Oahu honeymoon. Surfing lessons come complimentary with some of the hotels. Take your honey to one of the many nightclubs to make sure things get started off right.
An Oahu honeymoon includes some of the best shopping in Hawaii and most of it is close to the major resorts. She should join you for the free surf lessons and then a relaxing drink at the bar which claims to have invented the Mai Tai.

Best Booze
Waikiki beach bartenders are pretty competitive about thier booze. This year's winner is the Pua `Olenay by Bob Melton of Chuck's Steakhouse (Outrigger Waikiki on the Beach). Hawaii's Grammy nominees serve as inspirations for all contest entries. Waikiki is also home to the authentic Mai Tai recipe imported in 1953 at the "Mai Tai" Bar at the Royal Hawaiian Hotel in Waikiki. The Royal Hawaiian and Moana Surfrider Hotels, both Blissport picks for your Oahu honeymoon are excellent locations to enjoy some of Hawaii's best booze.
