A Romantic Evening

Setting sail into a Hawaiian sunset is like something out of a movie. For couples in Hawaii, this is an absolute must do cruise. The colors in the sunset were so beautiful. I have never witnessed shades of orange, pink, and red in a sunset like I did that evening. What a truly unforgettable evening.

Playful Dolphins

Our dolphin watching cruise was amazing! We were able to see many different dolphins interact with each other. You can't help but smile when you watch dolphins playing around in the water. It was also nice to know that these dolphins are in their natural habitat, and not in some water tank performing tricks for fish. The glass bottom viewing area was a unique way to get a glimpse of an underwater world. We could see gorgeous tropical fish and stunning coral reef.

A Fun-Filled Day!

On the bike ride we witnessed some amazing sights. Riding next to such beauty really made the ride a unique experience. The boat ride after was also a great experience. We snorkeled with a variety of beautiful tropical fish and then enjoyed sailing on the Pacific Ocean. The boat ride had a very enjoyable ambiance and I felt relaxed the entire trip. This was a great way to spend a beautiful day in Hawaii.

Rainforest Excursion

It was such a beautiful experience to walk through a lush tropical rain forest. The hike was not strenuous, which allowed me to take in all of the beautiful sights and sounds of the rain forest. The waterfall was definitely the highlight of the hike. This is where we took a break and had plenty of photo opportunities. The pictures we took were so beautiful they could probably be used for a post card picture.

Snorkeling With Manta Rays!

Snorkeling at dusk and into the evening is truly a way different experience than snorkeling during the day. It seems like the ocean landscape changes at night, as certain creatures come out to feed. The Manta Rays were really beautiful to watch. They glide around the ocean with such ease and grace. They may look intimidating, but they are really docile creatures and watching them was an experience I will not forget.

Snorkeling Adventure

We did the morning snorkel. The water was really calm where we went, and the sun was out and shining. The visibility in the water was really good, which allowed us to view all of beautiful tropical fish. I could not believe the diversity in the amount of fish we snorkeled with that day. The boat only takes out a maximum of 14 passengers, so that is a major advantage over some of the boats that take out 30 or more passengers.

Majestic

Seeing these majestic creatures is an amazing experience. These whales really give you a sense of how small you are in the world. Whales are truly the gentle giants of the ocean, and you can watch how gracefully they maneuver through the ocean. The naturalist on-board was very informative and did a great job of spotting whales for us.

Simply Beautiful

We took the Ali'i Grand tour. We had fears about being on such a small plane, but those fears disappeared after actually being in the air. The immense beauty you can see from the sky is truly amazing. This tour will show you that Oahu is so much more than Waikiki Beach. With it's dramatic mountains, lush scenery, and spectacular beaches, you will experience a once in a lifetime birds-eye-view of Oahu.

What an Incredible Birds-Eye-View!

We did the Hana/Haleakala flight. We felt like we were on our way to Jurassic Park while we were flying over Hana. The whole flight was just non-stop jaw dropping beauty all around you. When we made the transition to Haleakala it was like we were flying over Mars. We had taken tours of Hana and Haleakala, but is truly a different experience when you see it from the sky.

Catching Tasty Barrels

I opted to take the long board group surfing lesson. The beach was gorgeous and the waves were perfect. The instructors were very patient with everyone, and they seemed to really enjoy their jobs (how could they not?). I always heard that surfing on a long board was the easiest way to learn how to surf, and I can now say that I did find it easy to surf on a long board.
