Mallory & Tristan

Our honeymoon in paradise will be enhanced with a thrilling adventure. We will soar above it all while enjoying the beauty of the West Maui Mountains and the sparkling Pacific Ocean. Parasailing promises us an unforgettable experience!

In the morning we will board a deluxe catamaran and enjoy a delightful breakfast to fuel up for the day. Next, we will cruise through the sparkling waters to the dramatic shorelines and bays of Lanai. Home to wild dolphins, we will snorkel at the beautiful Lanai reefs and indulge in a sumptuous honeymoon lunch.

The highlights of both East and West Maui are united in this unique aerial tour of the complete island of Maui. We will see Haleakala Crater, Oheo Gulch, Hana Town, Hana rainforest, and the rugged shoreline of Northeast Maui. We will explore deep, meandering valleys set in the rainforest of the ancient West Maui Mountains. Knife-edged ridges with mist-shrouded peaks separate the spectacular valleys that give Maui its nickname, "The Valley Isle." Waterfalls cascade down from towering cliffs into the streams running along the rainforest floor. We will learn about the history and culture of the sights from our pilot, who is also a State of Hawaii Certified Tour Guide.

What a treat on our honeymoon! While on our honeymoon, we would love to visit one of the many aquariums on Maui. We will discover the majestic wonders of the deep with beautiful aquariums abundant with corals, tropical fish, sharks and other types of amazing marine life!

We will learn the ancient skill of the Hawaiians from experienced surfers. The instructors are committed to perpetuating the heritage of surfing and the Hawaiian culture with aloha attitude. Surf's up!

The tragic attacks of December 7, 1941 shook the island of Oahu, and the United States, forever. The lives lost, and that tragic day are things that we want to remember and honor

Snorkeling within Molokini Crater offers spectacular visibility of up to 150 feet. We'll enjoy snorkeling among around 250 species of endemic fish and marine life. Some of the more common fish include yellow tang, moorish idol, parrot fish, black triggerfish, bluefin trevally, raccoon butterfly fish, and even moray eels and sometimes manta rays and whitetip reef sharks. Due to consistent visits from tour boats carrying visiting snorkelers, marine life is less skittish and have become comfortable with the presence of humans. The waters within Molokini Crater are better protected from swell and currents than the shore of Maui.

We will be staying here in Maui for the second half of our honeymoon - oceanfront? Heck yeah!

The Hale Koa Hotel on Fort DeRussy Armed Forces Recreation Center is a resort serving members of the U.S. Armed Forces and their families. The Hotel was built and financed by service men and women from their own funds and now operates on a self-sustaining basis. We would like to stay here for 2 nights before exploring the island of Maui.

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! You all know we can throw down on some fast food.

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 love Sake bombs!!

We look forward to reserving an intimate candlelit dinner. We'll choose a quiet restaurant with a warm atmosphere, outstanding cuisine and impeccable service.

We will be taking an Island Hopper flight from Honolulu to Maui where we will stay for the second half of our trip!

We will be cruising around the island in a rental convertible, riding w/ the top down!

This will help us pay for travel, we didn't realize how expensive it was for flights to Hawaii! We have both been on LONG flights going somewhere that wasn't very fun (overseas), this will be the funnest long flight we will have ever taken, to paradise :)

Thank you for allowing us to pre-plan our trip! It all goes towards having the ultimate getaway made possible by your generous registry gift. If you have a suggestion for something that you think we should do, let us know!

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

We will experience the special indulgence of a couple's massage lying side-by-side being pampered with exotic oils that hydrate the skin, rejuvenate senses, and leave us refreshed and revitalized. We want to reserve our spa treatments early for this ultimate spa experience!
