Come aboard the trimaran Body Glove and cruise the Pawai Bay, a protected marine preserve of gorgeous coral reef gardens filled with an array of colored tropical fish, endangered sea turtles and wild dolphins. Along the way, enjoy a breakfast of freshly baked pastries, tropical juices, island fruits and Kona coffee. The Body Glove features a spacious upper sun deck, a large shaded cabin, fresh water showers and bathrooms. A 15-foot water slide and high-dive platform are a big hit, great fun for everyone! Your experienced crew will provide you with snorkeling gear and personalized instruction.

Enjoy Kona’s underwater paradise without getting wet! Cruise along on Marian, a 36-foot glass-bottom boat specially designed to cruise within inches of the reef. Have your camera ready to capture the colorful fish, corals and other sea creatures. Marian is designed with shaded comfort and clear viewing, and as you cruise along, you’ll enjoy breathtaking vistas of the island’s rugged shoreline. Step forward to the bow and you might see frolicking dolphins, (humpback whales, Dec-April). Throughout your adventure, the onboard naturalist will share tales and legends that evoke the magic of the sea and Hawaii. This is a perfect add-on to your day in Kona!

The site of flowing lava is incredible, and this is your best chance to see it! You will travel 51 miles from Hilo in an air-conditioned van that will take you up 4,000 feet to Kilauea Volcano and back down to the sea. Here on the coast is where you will have the best chance to see flowing lava. For 22 years Kilauea has been erupting with lava moving slowly back and forth along a 10-mile stretch as it enters the sea. You will walk on the newest land on earth, in some cases formed only hours before your arrival and still hot. Time permitting after the hike you will also visit other park features.

Take a fun downwind kayak trip on the Hule'ia River. Known for its lush greenery, Hule’ia has been the site of filming for a wide range of major motion pictures, including “Indiana Jones and the Lost Ark”, and “Lost World”, the sequel to “Jurassic Park”. After receiving basic safety and paddling instructions you will begin your downwind paddle, which covers about two miles in length. You will travel through the Hule'ia National Wildlife Refuge, a place for the preservation of endangered Hawaiian water birds then paddle past the Alekoko (Menehune) Fishpond. A living archaeological site, the Alekoko Fishpond is a fine example of the ancient Hawaiian’s fishing and aquiculture methods that are still in use to this day. Your backdrop will be the magnificent Haupu Mountain Range, a dramatic and majestic 2,000-foot shield volcano that looms nearby over the river. The area is steeped in legend, and your guides will tell you exciting stories about the supernatural inhabitants of the valley in days gone by. After paddling downwind you will leave your kayaks behind and set out on a 3/4 mile guided nature walk through a pristine tropical rainforest. This rainforest contains many different interesting communities of plants, birds and aquatic life, both native and introduced. Your destination is an off-the-beaten-path swimming hole and a gorgeous tropical waterfall! After great kayaking and hiking you will make the pleasant down-river return; rather than paddling back two miles into headwinds, kick-back and enjoy the scenery on a truly fun and unique vessel: our double-hulled, powered Hawaiian canoe. Enjoy snacks and cold drinks as you cruise down the beautiful river.

Join us on an evening sail along the Kalapaki and Kipu Kai region of Kauai. Enjoy the majestic view of the Kipu Kai coastline as you travel aboard the 42-foot sailing trimaran Rainbow Runner. Your professional, experienced and fun crew will share their local knowledge and hospitality as you enjoy a full assortment of pupus (appetizers), beer and wine, soda, juice and water. This tour specializes in smaller groups for your comfort and enjoyment. Unlike many others, we attempt to sail as much as possible, provided there is sufficient wind, instead of motoring, adding to the experience.

This ultimate off-road experience gets you into the lush tropical paradise and beautiful mountains of Kauai on a fully automatic all terrain vehicle … the Mudbug. Departing the pier, you take a scenic drive to the Mudbug check in location. Upon arrival you will be provided with outerwear including boots, socks, pants, shirts, goggles, a helmet and your Mudbug. Then it’s time to get dirty. The course takes you through back roads, cane fields, over hills and through streams which wind through the thick vegetation and rugged terrain of this magic island. Trek through a bamboo forest to secluded cascades. Weather permitting, you can swim in the natural pools. Pass by famous movie sites, historic WWII bunkers, breathtaking scenery and tons of dirt.

Get your heart pumping as you soar over gulches and through the trees along the slopes of one of the world’s largest volcanoes. This zip line adventure blends a short hiking experience with a series of picturesque zip line crossings, perfect for anyone 10 years of age or older, and even more fun when the whole family takes part! You will receive a safety briefing and customized seat harness and equipment before heading out on this one of a kind adventure!

Your adventure begins with a narrated island tour to Sealife Park. Upon arrival, a quick orientation will give you an overview of the park and its amenities. Begin the day by waving to the incredible penguins and then enjoying a dolphin show at Dolphin Cove. Then it’s on to the Hawaiian Reef Aquarium, which offers a close-up view of Hawaii’s underwater ecosystem where over 2,000 reef animals and organisms reside in a 300,000-gallon aquarium. Then it’s on to the Kolohe Kai Surf Club for a hilarious sea lion show. Next it is the Sea Turtle Lagoon, a fascinating exhibit area that more importantly doubles as a breeding sanctuary for the endangered Hawaiian green sea turtle. Now it is time for the highlight of your day – the dolphin encounter. From a waist deep platform you will caress, kiss and observe the dolphins while they perform high-energy behaviors. For those who feel comfortable, there is the opportunity to move off the platform into slightly deeper water to participate in some fun activities while swimming with the dolphins.

We'll take a ride on a bicycle and enjoy a spectacular Maui tour from the top of Haleakala volcano (el. 10023 ft). We'll be riding on the rim, coasting 38 miles downhill on smooth, winding blacktop all the way to the blue Pacific Ocean. It's 100% downhill, and 100% fun!

We'll have a drink or two on you at the local bar or at our favorite saloon. Cheers!

We are so excited to go snorkeling on our honeymoon, floating through the cool blue water as we swim eye to eye with exotic marine life. Paradise found!

Upon our arrival, we will be greeted with the customary shell lei and participate in the Polynesian arts and crafts demonstrations. We will feast on a menu of traditional Hawaiian cuisine including fresh seafood specialties and BBQ favorites enhanced by tropical fruit punch and Mai Tai's. The highlight of our honeymoon evening is the spectacular Polynesian Revue including the fascinating fire dance!

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!

On our honeymoon we'll take a ride on a historic Harley Davidson, and rip through town, of course doing the speed limit!

We will experience the special indulgence of a couple's massage lying side-by-side being pampered with exotic oils that hydrate the skin, rejuvenate senses, and leave us refreshed and revitalized. We want to reserve our spa treatments early for this ultimate spa experience!
