Nicole & Chris

We'll marvel from the safety of an underwater iron cage as the incredible Hawaiian mano (sharks) rise from the depths of Oahu's North Shore just to greet us, their entrancing beauty and splendor literally at our fingertips. We'll board an efficient 32-foot (9.8 m) aluminum boat, head out to sea on a 2-hour journey that promises plentiful close encounters of the aquatic kind - watching the rolling waves along the way for greetings from dolphins, Hawaiian green sea turtles and - in the winter months - humpback whales. Then we will climb into the submerged steely fortress and experience the sheer exhilaration of sleek 5- to 15-foot (1.5 m to 4.6 m) sharks swimming mere inches from us and a few fellow cage-goers.

We will experience Polynesia with full-day general admission, plus an award-winning Ali'i Luau dinner, and an amazing HA: Breath of Life evening show. During the day, we will experience island villages with one of our friendly tour guides in our small group. For dinner we will experience the Ali'i Luau. Against the backdrop of waterfalls and lush gardens, the Ali'i Luau celebration will begin. A beautiful orchid lei will be placed on our shoulders as we enter. The king's royal court will arrive, portraying the authenticity and excitement of luaus long ago, followed by a traditional imu ceremony (underground oven). Harmonious song and dance will accompany our hearty luau meal featuring melt-in-your-mouth pork. During the evening show, we will have Ambassador seating and receive a souvenir gift.

We will scuba dive in Hawaii's most beautiful locations for an unrivaled experience! Bathed in the crystalline depths of the azure Pacific Ocean, tethered by bubbles and brushed by rainbow colored fish, we will enter a fantasy world of brilliance and wonder.

We plan on going diving one day while in Maui. This would pay for our gear and a whole day of boat diving!

We will walk along the trails while admiring the surroundings of this tropical paradise! We will witness the lush jungle trails, taro patches, magnificent waterfalls and historical spiritual sites. On this historic cliff-side trail, we will also see towering mountains, spectacular emerald green valleys and we will encounter beautiful waterfalls with breathtaking views!

At The Fairmont Kea Lani on our romantic Hawaiian honeymoon, we will indulge in the luxurious settings of the Signature Ocean View Suite. Captivating ocean and sunset views define our coveted Signature Ocean View Suites. Located on the top two floors in the center of the resort, these popular suites offer our best ocean, sunset and resort views. These suites are perfect for couples.

Executive Chef Tylun Pang leads the culinary masterpiece of Kō restaurant in Wailea. The expansive menu features island family recipes that have been passed down for generations - including Hawaiian, Chinese, Filipino, Portuguese, Korean, and Japanese favorites. By utilizing the island's fresh produce, meat and seafood, Chef Pang gives these authentic recipes a farm-fresh, contemporary twist. With over 90% of the produce locally sourced or caught, the food is as fresh as it is sustainable promising a tantalizing dinner experience.

Ending our day in Hawaii with a sunset cruise along the beautiful Oahu Coast is a lovely idea for our romantic honeymoon! We will slip off our shoes and kick back Hawaiian-style as we sail into the changing colors of another incredible Hawaiian sunset. We'll dance, dine and toast with champagne as we look for that legendary "green flash" as the sun sinks below the sparkling water's horizon. This romantic honeymoon sail is perfect!

With your lovely wedding gift, we will experience a romantic and special honeymoon! We will begin our new lives together and enjoy each other's company while creating unforgettable honeymoon memories. It's our happily ever after and we thank you for making our honeymoon extraordinary!
