Emily & Timothy

On our romantic escape we will discover the highlights of our honeymoon destination with your generous wedding gift. Expedia offers an array of tours, activities and excursions. Thank you for allowing us to plan our dream honeymoon by contributing to any and all of our adventures as a newly married couple.

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 begin the tour with a wonderful drive of contrast and change from the dry-side resort area to the lush green country of Kohala. Along the way we'll journey up the North Kona and Kohala coastlines over lava flows from Mauna Loa, Mauna Kea and the Kohala Mountains. We'll pass through the quaint plantation towns of Hawi and Kapaau, site of the life-size statue of King Kamehameha. At the end of the road we will pass through a locked gate onto private property, and the real fun begins with a bumpy but short off-road drive in our 6WD Pinzgauer on an old cane road.

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!

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!

The catch of the day awaits us! As seafood lovers it will be hard to choose from the different types of seafood restaurants and the variety of fresh fish, all complemented by delectable side dishes, fresh vegetables, and an incredible selection of wines. A delicious treat!

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!

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!
