Griffin & Yola

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.

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.

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.

With your wedding gift we can plan ahead and upgrade to a romantic honeymoon suite. Our suite will be just steps from the beach nestled amongst the magnificent lush, fragrant tropical gardens and framed with breathtaking ocean views. We will be pampered in style and comfort, leaving us with "suite" memories!

What better way to enhance our fine dining experience than with our chosen bottle of exceptional wine. Cheers!

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.

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!

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 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.
