Andrew & Virginia

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 sail, sip and snorkel our way across the serene waters off Oahu's western coastline. Cerulean seascapes coupled with a honeyed breeze create an ideal and organic alarm clock during this early morning aquatic escapade. We'll wake up to seasonal sea-creature sightings such as dolphins, whales, flying fish and green sea turtles. Icy drinks and a tasty lunch buffet provide satisfying sustenance on the way back.

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!

Together we will indulge in a gorgeous massage in our very own suite reserved for couples. We will enjoy a full body massage while lying side by side and then relax in our private Hydrotherapy Jacuzzi tub for an additional 25 minutes.

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.
