The island of Hawaii is the perfect place to fall in love and get engaged!
Hawaii is a dream destination for many people and for good reason. As Jenn Tran said upon arrival, “The island is absolutely stunning. It’s known for its active volcanoes, its beautiful waterfalls, its amazing coastline and I’m getting engaged here!” What a picturesque place to fall in love! The island of Hawaii is the largest island in the Hawaiian archipelago, hence its nickname “Big Island”. And with the island’s size comes many activities like hiking, ziplining, sunbathing on the beach, paddleboarding, swimming with manta rays and delicious gourmet food.
During her final weeks as 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 spoke candidly about his experience on the island, saying, “Everything about this place is magical.
