We will night snorkel with the Manta Rays! This experience will definitely amaze us as we watch manta rays come inches from our body. Seeing them during the day is great, but as we see them at night they are feeding on all the plankton that has been drawn to lights. The trip is approximately three and a half hours long and departs from the Honokohou Marina at 5:00 p.m. We will arrive at the site about 45 minutes after departure where we can snorkel a bit before we watch an amazing sunset from the boat. Snacks, fresh island fruit, soda, juice, beer, and wine are all included. Once dark, we will begin our journey with these amazing creatures!

The Waikoloa Marriott Luau includes an open standard bar, buffet dinner and a show, and an imu ceremony and fire-knife dancer. The Sunset Luau at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott is the Big Island's most authentic luau and show. The sound of a conch shell will welcome us to an evening of delights, on a beautiful oceanfront setting at sunset. An array of delicious traditional dishes is offered at the lavish buffet. We will dine under a starlit Hawaiian sky while the exciting luau show takes us on a journey of music and dance through the islands of Polynesia.

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 will get our hike on with a Park Service certified guide on our Kilauea Hike 'n Glow tour. This is a specialized tour designed for adventurous guests looking to get off the beaten path and head off to unique areas of the Park not normally visited on organized tours. Starting at our resort in Kona, our guide will pick us up and drive us through the "saddle" between Mauna Loa and Mauna Kea volcanoes. We will make a quick stop at a store in Hilo for provisions before heading off to Hawaii Volcanoes National Park. Here we will discover what makes this unique place a UNSESCO World Heritage Site and International Biosphere Preserve. We will start with a visit to the Kilauea Visitor's Center and a picnic-style lunch. Next we will visit the Jaggar Museum, and then on to the Thurston Lava Tube, hike down into the Kilauea Iki crater through the rainforest and across the still-steaming crater floor. This 4-mile hike culminates in a walk through the Thurston Lava Tube. Next we will visit the famous Volcano House. The Volcano House is a landmark which inspired the likes of Mark Twain and Jack London. Then we will enjoy a delicious dinner with Kilauea Volcano safely erupting in the distance through the picture windows. Our adventure will end with a stop at the Halemaumau Crater to view the glow up close before returning to our hotel.

We'll trade smiles with man's best aquatic friend above or below the water's surface during this shallow-water dolphin interaction. We'll swim with the sea's friendliest and most intelligent species at Dolphin Quest, which for more than two decades, has been a model habitat for marine mammals where dolphins live, play and reproduce free from the threats they face in the wild. Dolphin Quest's Learning Center Lagoon was the first of its kind and inspired a new generation of large, natural habitats for marine mammals.

We'll sail into the Kohala Coast sunset, the most beautiful in the islands. While relaxing aboard a 65-foot luxury catamaran, the most elegant on the island we'll look for the legendary green flash or dolphins and whales as they playfully escort our vessel. A delicious menu will be prepared by an award-winning, local chef. We’ll enjoy a libation or iced champagne from the bar as we watch the sun disappear into the tropical sea.

We will charter a boat and enjoy a honeymoon day of sport fishing at the best fishing spot on the coast! Hopefully we'll catch some Mahi Mahi, Pacific Blue Marlin, Striped Marlin, Wahoo, or Rainbow Runners! Our catch of the day can be deliciously prepared for us at one of the dock restaurants while we enjoy the coldest beverage in town!

Soon enough, we will be taking a horseback riding adventure on the Big Island! Along the way, we will witness spectacular panoramic views of the mountains and coastline, cinder cones, ancient Hawaiian ruins and lush pastures. This unforgettable honeymoon experience will take us on a journey where the breathtaking beauty of Hawaii will unfold before our eyes!
