Preview Hawaii Romance Travel News, we bring you some
great companies and packages that can help you plan your
wedding and honeymoon in Hawaii. From luxury resort
accommodatins overlooking Hanalei Bay on Kauai, to whale
watching on Maui, to wedding boutiques on Oahu to coffee
plantations on the Big Island. Enjoy!
| Princeville
Resort- Luxury lodging over Hanalei Bay, Kauai |
 |
The Princeville Resort is a stunning luxury resort overlooking
idyllic Hanalei Bay. From the balcony of the resort, enjoying
the panoramic views of waterfalls cascading down lush
mountains, sailboats sailing in and out of the bay, and
rainbows dancing over Bali Hai, the vista will take your
breath away. I have a soft spot in my heart for this
property, because my husband Shawn and I were married
there in 1997. We chose the intimate Makana Terrace with
the adjoining Makana Dining Room, which seats 60. This is a
great venue for a small wedding, and the Bay Terrace is a
good option for larger parties. There are also wedding
locations on the beach.

| Whale Watching
and Snorkeling on Maui |
 |
Maui-Molokai Sea Cruises features the 92-foot Prince Kuhio,
one of the largest air-conditioned cruise vessels in Maui
waters. With it's two spacious decks that can accommodate
200 passengers, the Prince Kuhio affords ample room to
move about. For the utmost comfort of their guests, they do
limit seating to 149 passengers on all cruises.
Named after a member of Hawaiian "alii" or royalty, the
Prince Kuhio features a spacious climate-controlled main
cabin, open air observation top deck, table seating on both
decks, a full service galley, two bars, a freshwater shower
and roomy restrooms. Passengers may also enjoy the boat's
unique 12-foot bowsprit, which extends over the water for an
unusual and thrilling experience.
The Prince Kuhio is powered by three turbo diesel engines,
capable of speeds up to 25 knots, but normally cruises at a
comfortable 20 knots. This allows the Prince Kuhio to be
among the fastest boats to reach its destination.
The friendliest and best-trained crew on Maui is ready to
attend to your every need. The Prince Kuhio consists of a
Coast Guard certified captain, first mate, engineer, and
certified divers.
