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 don’t want to miss the opportunity to experience this award winning snorkel cruise to historic Kealakekua Bay. This 4-1/2 hour cruise departs daily from Keauhou Bay and includes 2-1/2 hours of snorkeling at pristine Kealakekua Bay, snorkel gear, instruction, and TWO 15’ water slides. We will be served a tropical continental breakfast of bagels and cream cheese, muffins, egg frittatas, croissants, fresh island fruit, 100% Kona coffee grown on an estate farm, herbal tea, and juice. Lunch includes BBQ cheeseburgers, garden burgers, hot dogs, complete condiments, pasta salad, fresh pineapple, chips, cookies, soft drinks, and tropical fruit juice. A no-host bar is open during the last hour of the cruise.

We'll trade smiles with man's best aquatic friend above or below the water's surface during this shallow-water dolphin interaction. We'll swim with the sea's friendliest and most intelligent species at Dolphin Quest, which for more than two decades, has been a model habitat for marine mammals where dolphins live, play and reproduce free from the threats they face in the wild. Dolphin Quest's Learning Center Lagoon was the first of its kind and inspired a new generation of large, natural habitats for marine mammals.

It's casual, fun and perfect for an afternoon lunch. With so many restaurants in town, we'll choose the most perfect, casual restaurant where we'll take delight in the juiciest burgers, fresh sandwiches, chicken and fries!

At our favorite Steak House, we'll reserve a table so we can tantalize our tastebuds! We'll choose from an array of prime aged steaks, chops, bone-In New York, filet mignon, double pork chops and racks of lamb. All choices are grilled the classic way juicy, tender, with the flavors developed fully. This is a sanctuary for us steak aficionados. Our mouths are watering just thinking about it.

With so many ice cream parlors in town, we'll try everything from hot fudge sundaes to soft serve ice cream and thick milkshakes. Who cares about the diet on our fantastic getaway!

We will browse the boutique store and pick up a few local handicrafts and souvenirs as mementoes from our honeymoon.

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

With your thoughtful wedding gift, we'll enjoy the Big Island's beautiful charm and spectacular beaches on our romantic honeymoon! 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 that reflects the cultures living on the islands and have many unique dining experiences that will leave us with fond honeymoon memories! We can't wait!
