Annabel & Bryan

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 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'll dive beneath the waves of the Big Island for an unforgettable journey aboard an Atlantis submarine. We will explore 25 acres of natural coral reef and its marine inhabitants as we head more than 100 feet (30.5 m) underwater!

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!

On our Hawaiian honeymoon we will discover both the Big Island's beauty and its volcanic fury. We will tour the most geologically active environment on earth - the famous Kilauea volcano, which has been continuously erupting since 1983. On this helicopter adventure we will view lava flows and black sand beaches. We will experience all the awesome spectacle of Madame Pele's lava and volcanic badlands, and then explore the lush rainforests of the Hamakua Coast. The towering sea cliffs open into the dramatically deep and meandering valleys of the Kohala Mountains. Beautiful waterfalls cascade thousands of feet into the rainforest below and remnants of ancient Hawaiian settlements are still visible. This is the perfect finish to the ultimate Big Island adventure. This tour was voted #1 by The Travel Channel as the "World's Best Helicopter Thrill."

The Waikoloa Marriott Luau includes an open standard bar, buffet dinner and a show, and an imu ceremony and fire-knife dancer. The Sunset Luau at the Waikoloa Beach Marriott is the Big Island's most authentic luau and show. The sound of a conch shell will welcome us to an evening of delights, on a beautiful oceanfront setting at sunset. An array of delicious traditional dishes is offered at the lavish buffet. We will dine under a starlit Hawaiian sky while the exciting luau show takes us on a journey of music and dance through the islands of Polynesia.
