Renee & Lance

The mottled turquoise-blue waters of Waikiki and Kaneohe bay lap around the majestic landscape. We'll sweep over Maui and marvel at the explosive green peaks and waterfall-laced valleys. We’ll pass over the small communities and pastoral plains as we view sites rich with historical value and teeming with local lore.

With your lovely wedding gift, we will enjoy a fun and exciting evening aboard the STAR! A "champagne" toast will start our riveting Three Star Sunset Dinner & Show Cruise®, followed by a sumptuous 5-course whole Maine lobster and tenderloin steak dinner and premium beverages. We will enjoy unparalleled vistas of Waikiki and beyond Diamond Head from all four decks including the 60' high observation deck. We will enjoy continuous live entertainment like no other, from a hula welcome to Jazz, and a new "My Hawaii - Beyond the Reef®" show by the largest cast on island waters and dancing. We will step aboard Hawaii's largest, award-winning Star of Honolulu on our Hawaiian honeymoon!

This tour is moving in more ways than one. Explore and honor three historic sites that shaped the outcome of World War II in this. You will visit the USS Arizona Memorial where the United States was catapulted into WWII and its fight in the Pacific began. Next, enjoy a tour of the Battleship Missouri. Knowledgeable guides provide colorful stories about the ship’s history and life at sea during a 35-minute guided tour. Later, honor the freedoms bestowed upon us by all those who bravely served our country since WWI at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific at Punchbowl. Before heading back into Waikiki, you will drive through historic Honolulu to see Hawaii State Capitol and Honolulu City Hall, Iolani Palace and King Kamehameha Statue, and Kawaiaha`o Church.

We will enjoy an exciting horseback adventure on our honeymoon in paradise! At Kualoa Ranch we will set out on our horses to discover the breathtaking beauty of lush valleys and jungles for 1-hour and then choose two 1.5-hour Experience Tours including The Valley – Movie Sites and Ranch Tour, The Mountains – Jungle Expedition Tour, The Ocean – Ocean Voyage & Hawaiian Fish Pond and Garden Tour, or The Secret – The Private Beach at Kualoa. After our excursion, we will indulge in a ranch house buffet lunch.

From Waikiki, our professional nature guide will shuttle us by van to a tropical rain forest on our own private 75 acre property in Manoa Valley. We'll be issued trail snacks of dried fruits and nuts and a water bottle with optional rubber boots and rain jacket. Then we will take a narrated nature hike 2-miles r/t along a jungle stream with ancient rock terraces and mountain pools to view a hidden 200 foot waterfall. We'll hike back over a bamboo trail viewing the many tropical plants, flowers and trees. Then we will be shuttled to the top of Pu'u 'Ohia (Tantalus) where we'll be outfitted with a KHS cruiser bike and Bell helmet and given safety instructions and practice laps before descending the 5-mile paved jungle road. We'll stop half-way down at Manoa lookout for pictures, narrative and a delicious deli-style lunch (turkey, ham, roast beef or veggie sandwich, chips, cookies and cold beverages). Once we reach the grassy park at the bottom, we'll then return to Waikiki by van.

We will spend a romantic relaxing evening at the movies sharing a bucket of popcorn ... and maybe M&Ms too.

We can't wait to go to Germaine's Luau! Renee has been on a previous vacation with her Mom and wants Lance to experience what a true luau is all about. Germaine's Luau is a one of a kind experience not found anywhere else in the world. Upon arrival, all guests are traditionally welcomed with a Hawaiian Shell Lei. The sounding of the conch shell announces the beginning of the evening’s festivities! Picture taking opportunities await as the Royal Court of Polynesia makes its entrance. As the imu (underground oven) is uncovered, the savory aroma of the Kalua Pua’a (roasted pig) – our main course of the evening – reminds us that dinner is soon to be served while we enjoy a non-stop, action-packed journey of dance and music throughout the Islands of Tahiti, Samoa, Fiji, New Zealand as well as the romantic hula of Hawaii, leaving forever with the spirit of the islands in our hearts.

After boarding a catamaran, we will go an ocean adventure to snorkel with exotic fish and sea turtles followed by lunch and a cocktail.

Yeah, Lance is making Renee do that - but she is excited to jump out of her comfort zone.

We will set sail to dine, dance and have the islands' best view for the dazzling Friday night firework show.

We will embark on a guided bus ride to the North Shore of the island, making stops for lunch, and both a bike riding and kayaking adventure.
