The island of Hawaiʻi is the perfect place to fall in love and get engaged!
Hawaiʻi is a dream destination for so many people and it’s for great reason. As Jenn Tran said upon her arrival, “The island is absolutely breathtaking. It’s known for its active volcanoes, its gorgeous waterfalls, its amazing coastline, and I’m getting engaged here!” What a picturesque place to fall in love! The island of Hawaiʻi is the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, hence its nickname, the Big Island. And with the island’s size comes plenty of activities, like hiking, zip-lining, sunning on the beach, paddleboarding, swimming with manta rays, and enjoying delicious fine dining.
During her final few weeks as the Bachelorette, Jenn and her final three men — Devin, Jonathon, and Marcus — traveled to the Big Island for their romantic overnight dates and to spend time with Jenn’s family. Devin got candid about his experience on the island, saying, “Everything about this place is magical. It’s like a dream, to be honest.” If you and your boo want to take the romantic trip of a lifetime, check out our recommendations below to experience Hawaiʻi like a true Bachelor Nation star!
