Raven & Ryan

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 will take our need for speed to new heights on this thrilling zipline and Akaka Falls adventure. We will enjoy a relaxing drive through Saddle Road with views of Mauna Kea and Mauna Loa on our way to the most beautiful falls on Hawaii. Covering nearly two miles of gorgeous tropical river gorges, this 8-line zip course promises views of different waterfalls as we soar over 160 feet above them. Certified staff will guide us over one of the longest lines on Hawaii Island at more than 2,400 feet in length. We will ride the only all side-by-side dual track zipline on Hawaii. Afterwards we will enjoy a picnic deli style lunch. Next, we will take a scenic drive along the Hamakua Coast to Akaka Falls. We will explore Akaka Falls before returning to Kona.

We will night snorkel with the Manta Rays! This experience will definitely amaze us as we watch manta rays come inches from our body. Seeing them during the day is great, but as we see them at night they are feeding on all the plankton that has been drawn to lights. The trip is approximately three and a half hours long and departs from the Honokohou Marina at 5:00 p.m. We will arrive at the site about 45 minutes after departure where we can snorkel a bit before we watch an amazing sunset from the boat. Snacks, fresh island fruit, soda, juice, beer, and wine are all included. Once dark, we will begin our journey with these amazing creatures!

We’ll be celebrating our marriage with the magic of Disney! We’ll be within walking distance of both Disneyland parks during our stay in California. We’ll be able to take in some sun and see everyone’s favorite mouse!

There’s nothing we love more than a full day of catch and release! We couldn’t imagine a better time than spending an afternoon off the coast of California. We’ll be able to board a guided boat and see where the day takes us, hopefully somewhere with a little luck!

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’ll get to enjoy the many artisan eateries that now call the Anaheim Packing House home. The building has been a source of amazing foods in California since 1919!

We would love to shop around for our favorite piece of art as a cherished keepsake from our once in a lifetime trip. This gift will adorn our home for many years to come!

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'll need a spa day just to ourselves! We will sit back, relax and indulge in a rejuvenating and revitalizing spa treatment or massage to help soothe our tense muscles and to help us get back in the groove.
