Christie & Marcus

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'll board a sleek and roomy helicopter and soar beyond the beaches to Kauai's largely uninhabited tropical wilderness, uncovering the undulating, secluded beauty of the Garden Isle's more aloof side. Next, we will get our toes out of the sand and see what really makes Kauai special, soaking up views that literally stretch for miles on a 50-minute aerial ride over the oldest Hawaiian island.

We'll spend the morning sailing through paradise along the emerald and crimson patchwork Na Pali Coast. Towering sea cliffs, misty waterfalls and otherworldly lava tubes provide a backdrop for our seafaring adventure. We'll get ready to spend our morning on one of 2 sleek 55-foot (17-m) catamarans - Spirit of Kauai and Spirit of Akialoa. The breeze off the water will drive our vessel through the salty air as the captain takes us to his favorite snorkeling spots.

Visible only by air or by sea, the stunning cliffs of the Na Pali Coast are even more spectacular at sunset. We'll enjoy a delicious dinner as the sun sinks below the horizon. We'll sail along Kauai's dramatic Na Pali Coast, with views of sea cliffs, waterfalls and lava tubes.

We'll watch as the evening dims and then relights with poi ball twirlers and fire knife dancers. A lavish buffet will await us in an evening that captures the gambit - from the quiet intimacy to the stunning display of sight and sounds. Nestled in a 35-acre (14-ha) manicured pasture, Gaylord's Restaurant Kilohana sits at the end of a winding driveway. When we enter we will see the paintings of Ethel and Gaylord Parke Wilcox that line the walls. The luau celebrates the triumphs and struggles of the Hawaiian people - culminating in word, music and the hypnotic light trails of a fire dance.

We'll learn to shred killer waves during a small-group lesson of no more than 3 fellow wave riders. We'll prepare for a 90-minute session on Hawaii's most forgiving waves in Hanalei or Wailua. We’ll slide into our Quicksilver rash guard t-shirt, hop on our beginner surfboard and we will put our trust in this local surf legend who’s been hitting the waves around the world for more than 40 years.

With diverse landscape, abundant wildlife and spectacular views this signature tour makes Kipu Ranch one of the premier eco-tour locations in Hawaii. We will ride through lush green pastures, venture down into tropical Huleia Valley, and ascend to majestic Haupu for a breathtaking view of Kipu Kai, Kauai's untouched paradise. Next, we will enjoy the historic landscape with photos of famous movie locations such as Jurassic Park, Indiana Jones Raiders of the Lost Ark, and the most recent, The Descendants. From the Kama’aina to visitors around the world, this tour will leave us speechless!

On our Hawaiian honeymoon, we will enjoy many evenings dining on native food prepared using traditional cooking methods! With island blends of cross-cultural innovations and enticing spices, we will savor the fresh flavors of 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.

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!

I will be pampered with a classic and gentle cleansing facial with wonderful aromatic ingredients, leaving my skin radiant and beautiful. No photos during the treatment allowed!
