Ariel & Taylor

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 will enjoy an unforgettable evening featuring a unique Polynesian hukilau (a communal net-fishing technique), delicious island cuisine and spectacular entertainment. Accompanied by soft sea breezes, the Paradise Cove Luau waits to show us a glimpse of Hawaii past.

We'll marvel from the safety of an underwater iron cage as the incredible Hawaiian mano (sharks) rise from the depths of Oahu's North Shore just to greet us, their entrancing beauty and splendor literally at our fingertips. We'll board an efficient 32-foot (9.8 m) aluminum boat, head out to sea on a 2-hour journey that promises plentiful close encounters of the aquatic kind - watching the rolling waves along the way for greetings from dolphins, Hawaiian green sea turtles and - in the winter months - humpback whales. Then we will climb into the submerged steely fortress and experience the sheer exhilaration of sleek 5- to 15-foot (1.5 m to 4.6 m) sharks swimming mere inches from us and a few fellow cage-goers.

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’ll suit up and learn about daily dolphin life and interact with them up close and personal in this intimate and educational adventure. Guests enjoy a kiss and belly ride with a dolphin! The model habitat allows it’s animals to live, play and reproduce free from the threats faced in the wild. We'll bravely go beyond the traditional marine mammal show here, plunging into an intimate lagoon for the ultimate dolphin interaction.

With your lovely wedding gift we will take part in an ATV Adventure! At Kualoa Ranch, we will set out on ATVs for a 1-hour tour, 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.

With your lovely wedding gift we will indulge in the Friday Night Fireworks & Sunset Dinner Cruise! We will embark on a sailing adventure and enjoy drinks for two, and a dinner buffet of teriyaki chicken, beef and veggie stir fry, steamed rice, curry tofu wraps, veggie spring rolls with dipping sauce, rotini pasta salad with veggies, and macadamia nut chocolate chip cookies. Vegetarian protein entrees are also available.

Why settle for a standard room especially on this special time. With your gift, we can plan ahead and upgrade to a romantic suite on our once in a lifetime trip!

What could be better than knowing we'll have breakfast to enjoy between the sheets? We'll order eggs florentine, cinnamon rolls, freshly squeezed orange juice and hot coffee which all seem to taste better served to us in bed!

We would love just one more night to celebrate and indulge in romance! At our favorite restaurant we’ll enjoy spectacular cuisine and sip on classical cocktails and concoctions while toasting to us and our ‘last’ night on our escape in paradise!

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

What a great wedding gift! We'll travel in style with the top down on our convertible, enjoying the warm island breezes blowing gently on our faces.

It won't be like driving at home. Exploring on our honeymoon will be an adventure.

Any help to get to and from our destination is a wonderful gift. We will be thanking you long after take off.

With your lovely wedding gift, we will experience a romantic and special honeymoon! We will begin our new lives together and enjoy each other's company while creating unforgettable honeymoon memories. It's our happily ever after and we thank you for making our honeymoon extraordinary!

We'll shop at an array of small local boutiques with crafts and slip off our shoes and kick back Hawaiian-style as we watch the changing colors of another incredible Hawaiian sunset. We'll taste the flavors of regional cuisine reflecting the cultures living on the islands and many unique dining experiences leaving us with fond honeymoon memories! We can't wait!
