Tanisia & Justin

We’ll be each other’s catch of the day on this fishing adventure! We’ll experience some of the finest sport fishing in the world in the waters off the Kona coast. We’ll be aboard a professional Coast Guard-inspected charter fishing vessel. We’ll be in pursuit of the five “flag fish” which includes Marlin, Ono, Mahimahi, Short-nose spearfish and Ahi. We can’t wait to cast a line and begin the expedition!

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.

Lahaina offers us an unforgettable experience! Along the way to Hana, we’ll cross bridges, drive through winding lush trails and see breathtaking scenery as our guide tells us stories about this pristine area. Passing by Palikea Stream we’ll make a stop at Keanae Lookout, Wainapanapa State Park, Hana Town and Tedeschi Winery before enjoying an authentic Hawaiian lunch at Hana Ranch!

We’ll meet at the Kona Historical Society 1875 Greenwall Museum for a brief orientation, and then we’ll observe one-of-a-kind exhibits the surround the success of the Kona Coffee Industry. We’ll have the chance to taste some of the 100% Kona Coffee as well as traditional Japanese food farm fresh seasonal fruits.

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 can’t pass up the opportunity to board a Hawaiian riverboat and float down the Wailua River to the Fern Grotto, a natural rock amphitheater filled with lush island ferns. But first we’ll begin our day with a narrated tram ride through the 30-acres at Smith’s Tropical Paradise Botanical & Cultural Gardens. When we board the riverboat, we’ll have the chance to listen to the enchanting island legends and lore. When it’s time to turn around, we’ll be serenaded by local musicians and dancers, ending with the Hawaiian Wedding Song which will be dedicated to anyone celebrating a honeymoon or anniversary in Kauai!

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!

This honeymoon vacation will be an unforgettable cruise adventure.

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.
