Find a Wedding Planner in Kailua-Kona

My wife and I were staying at HGV King’s Land with our 15 year old son and some friends from Michigan, when our son met the owner Kris and his father at the resort. Our son meeting and speaking with Kris turned our vacation into one of our most unforgettable trips. During their conversation, Kris mentioned that he owned Aloha Ocean Excursions and that one of their excursions was the Evening Manta Ray Snorkel. I contacted Kris later that evening, and he was by far one of the most friendliest and nicest persons I have met, answering all of my questions and concerns and even went into details about what we could expect from our excursion. We scheduled our trip and met with the boat Captain Rasson at the pier pavilion who was every bit as friendly and nice as Kris. Once we arrived at the Manta Ray snorkel site, Rasson explained to us the safety aspect and how to get the most out of our Manta Ray viewing. Once we were in the water and at the light bar, the show began. The Manta Ray’s began feeding almost instantly, coming within inches of you and giving us a show that I have never believe possible. This graceful feeding show, continued for the entire time that we were out there and Rasson never once rushed us or called us in from the fun. He allowed us to stay out in the water and enjoy every minute of it and I was the last one in from the water due to the amount of fun/excitement I was having. I had my GoPro with me and I was able to take some beautiful videos of the Manta Ray’s during our trip. I wasn’t aware that the Evening Manta Ray Snorkeling was something that could be done, and we are so thankful for Kris bringing this to our attention. This was an unbelievable experience and opportunity that we are truly thankful for. We highly recommend Kris and Aloha Ocean Excursions for that trip of a lifetime that you will never forget. This truly made our vacation an exceptional one.

It was such a pleasure to work with Annie and her team. I cannot thank her enough for making our Hawaiian wedding come true. The flowers and decor were beyond my expectations, everyone kept telling me how beautiful everything was. It was so great to have her coordination assistance throughout the entire process and especially on the "day of". We were both able to relax and truly take in the moments of the day.

Amazing to find such gourmet food here. The seafood fettucine was delicious, and get the bananas flambe with banana bread and caramel macadamia nut sauce -- wow. Not overpriced.
