Shannon & Ryan

We will join in on one of the best celebrations in Hawaii at the beautiful Royal Kona Resort for a traditional Hawaiian luau. Between the fading sun and the breeze off the Kona coast, we’ll dance and dine the night away. When the sun fades, the tropical breeze will sway the trees to the beat of the drums, to create an easy rhythm to start our luau the right way. With a breathtaking backdrop of glittering waters of the Kona Coast, our oceanfront setting encompasses Polynesian culture.

We'll dive beneath the waves of the Big Island for an unforgettable journey aboard an Atlantis submarine. We will explore 25 acres of natural coral reef and its marine inhabitants as we head more than 100 feet (30.5 m) underwater!

We will journey from sea level to the cosmos! On this adventure we will witness a sunset from Hawaii's most sacred location, Mauna Kea, amid its largest collection of telescopes on earth. We will enjoy a picnic dinner that precedes a sunset view of Haleakala on Maui and Mauna Loa. After the sunset, we’ll descend to the Visitor's Information Station for hot beverages and chocolate macadamia nut cookies. A telescope waits for star gazing, and an interpretive guide offers a personal and educational look at the observable universe.

We don't want to settle for a standard room on our honeymoon! With your perfect gift we can plan ahead and upgrade to a room with a view on our once in a lifetime trip!

It's casual, fun and perfect for an afternoon lunch. With so many restaurants in town, we'll choose the most perfect, casual restaurant where we'll take delight in the juiciest burgers, fresh sandwiches, chicken and fries!

With your wedding gift, we will taste the flavors of Hawaiian regional cuisine that reflects the cultures living on the islands. This will be a unique fine dining honeymoon experience and it will leave us with fond honeymoon memories! We can't wait!

We will start with our favorite delicacies at the sushi bar in our chosen Japanese restaurant. Then, enjoy the authentic Japanese dining room, where award-winning chefs skillfully twirl their knives through the air during the teppanyaki cooking show. We may even try a glass or two of hot sake.

We’ll love a night just to ourselves! Indulging in the romantic ambiance, we’ll enjoy tantalizing cuisine at our favorite restaurant and make a toast to our lives together!

We will browse the boutique store and pick up a few local handicrafts and souvenirs as mementoes from our honeymoon.

This camera will allow us to capture even the most elusive marine life. This is the perfect gift for us - the warm water tropical travelers.

It won't be like driving at home. Exploring on our honeymoon will be an adventure.

Any help to get to and from our destination is a wonderful gift. We will be thanking you long after take off.

We'll toast to our lives together as we uncork the effervescence of a bottle of champagne. Cheers!

With your thoughtful wedding gift, we'll enjoy the Big Island's beautiful charm and spectacular beaches on our romantic honeymoon! We'll shop at an array of small local boutiques with crafts and slip off our shoes and kick back Hawaiian-style as we watch the changing colors of another incredible Hawaiian sunset. We'll taste the flavors of regional cuisine that reflects the cultures living on the islands and have many unique dining experiences that will leave us with fond honeymoon memories! We can't wait!
