Hawaii may be one of the most sought-after honeymoon destinations, and for good reason! The warm weather and beautiful surroundings truly make it a paradise on earth - the perfect preamble to a romantic getaway.
While in Hawaii, there are PLENTY of those quintessential honeymoon experiences to choose from (Google "Hawaiian Luau" and see for yourself) but what about that elusive "one of a kind" experience? Surely honeymooning in Hawaii doesn't have to condemn us all to conformity!
I mean, upon return, do you really want to hear "Oh we did that too" from all your friends, family, and even your crusty boss? Worse yet - do you want Gretchen from accounting to pull out her honeymoon photos and say "See...Stanley and I went to that SAME LUAU on OUR honeymoon!" Such an occurrence will surely deflate your honeymoon show-and-tell. So unless you wish to compare just how tall that shrub in the background of the hotel luau has grown over the years, you must break the honeymoon mold.
Enter the fastest-growing trend to hit vacation destinations - zip line tours! More specifically, a sunset or full moon zip line tour with Kapalua Adventures on the island of Maui. This is the very same zip line tour that was featured on the hit TV show "The Bachelorette" - and for good reason. 1,400 feet above sea level, couples are greeted with sweeping views of the lush green West Maui Valley, with turquoise blue water and neighboring islands providing the dreamy backdrop. It's a truly breathtaking and romantic sight, one that will surely last in your memories for a lifetime.
Kapalua Adventures runs multiple tours throughout the day, with the most popular being mid-day tours. It is this author's suggestion to avoid those popular times though, and instead opt for either a sunset or full moon zip line tour. The latter tours are considerably less crowded, which will help couples enjoy their time together, giving things a more intimate feel. Also, the scenery undergoes dramatic changes with the fading of light. The view from atop the mountain is indeed gorgeous, but when coupled with the red glow of a setting sun in Maui - it becomes something even more special. Kapalua Adventures does allow you to take cameras with you, even while you zip, so you'll be able to capture the scene to look back upon for years to come. Imagine the photo now - you and your spouse closely embraced, high up on the West Maui Mountains, with a classic Hawaii sunset exploding in color behind you. Simply marvelous!
For an experience that's even more surreal, couples may also enjoy the full moon zip line tour. This tour isn't as colorful as it's sunset counterpart, but guests agree it is a great deal more 'magical' and serene. On Maui, there is no smog or pollution to interfere with the view of the night sky! Upon arrival atop the mountain, the tree canopy opens up into a giant moon and star-filled canvas full of light, which basks the valley in gorgeous twilight. You'll see more stars then you could ever imagine, including shooting stars for you and your love to wish upon. In the distance, the Pacific Ocean acts as a reflector, and sparkles brilliantly as if there were two skies with two sets of stars.
So if it's something different that you seek, seek no further. Book a tour with Kapalua Adventures (http://gozipmaui.com) and tell them you want the sunset or full moon tour. The photos will be one of a kind, the story poetic, and most importantly - it's something your friends and co-workers didn't do on their honeymoon. (So take that, Gretchen!)
Aloha
