We have the chance to witness the results of the various volcanic eruptions in Hilo; including the repeated eruptions of Kilauea, Ahalanui warm springs which are volcanically heated to 90-degrees, and the spectacular scenery at MacKenzie State Park. We can’t wait to see the magnificent tree molds created by lava wrapping around the tree, cooling off, and then draining away leaving the mold located in Lava Tree State Park in Puna. Our love will be “frozen in time” as we walk across the “frozen earth” created by the lava flows while seeing an active volcano vent in the distance.

We cannot wait to experience a time-honored Hawaiian-style luau complete with Polynesian entertainment in Honolulu! What a romantic night this will be! It takes place on an elegant 12-acre beachfront estate, formerly the summer home of one of Hawaii’s most prominent families. After eating and watching the dancers in their exquisite costumes we’ll have the chance to visit pre-contact Polynesian villages for arts and crafts and games.

We’ll pass by many of the well-known orchid and anthodium farms from Hilo on our way to Crater Rim Drive as our guide explains the mysteries of the famed Madame Pele, the Hawaiian Goddess of Fire. Next, we’ll travel to the Thurston Lava Tube and then head out to the Hawaii Volcano Observatory and the Jagger Museum. We can’t wait to meander through the remarkable exhibits of the destruction caused over the years by volcanoes. We’ll have time to browse through the many remnants that erupting volcanoes have left in their path. After our stroll through the museum, we’ll sure work up an appetite and have a chance to nibble on free samples at the Mauna Loa Macadamia Nut Factory Store while we observe how the nuts are processed.

Aboard our Carnival honeymoon cruise ship, we’ll indulge in classical cocktails, tropical concoctions or cold refreshing beer while relaxing by the pool in the wonderful sun. Cheers!

Together, we’ll experience an array of Carnival’s restaurants while dining in a soft, romantic, elegant, chic and casual atmosphere. We’ll tantalize our palates with the fresh flavors of mouthwatering steaks, European cuisine, fresh local seafood specialties, decadent desserts and Chef Georges Blanc’s superb French-inspired dishes, all complimented by a bottle of wine from their extensive wine list!

Carnival Cruises, our ultimate honeymoon cruise, offer us spacious, comfortable and stylish accommodations, an array of onboard activities, and luxurious spa services. We’ll savor mouth watering steakhouses, European style cafes, and fresh local seafood specialties all with impeccable service. We’ll sip on classic cocktails as the vibrant nightlife and upbeat entertainment at the piano bar keep us moving well into the night! We may even give our luck a try at the Casino! Your generous wedding gift will be fondly remembered for many years to come.

We’ll cherish a portrait of us on our Carnival Cruise in the many years to come, looking back on the magical experiences on our honeymoon!

Together, we’ll experience the special indulgence of a romantic couple’s massage laying side-by-side being pampered by natural aromatic plant oils that hydrate our skin. The use of exotic oils applied with the massage combines the senses of smell and touch to ease both physical and mental tension, leaving us with an experience that is uplifting and balancing.
