Tikis in Paradise: Cock n Hen Party

We went on our Cock n Hen party with all of our friends that came to the wedding the Thursday night before the wedding. We booked tickets on the Pride of Maui for their sunset dinner cruise. We hit the water on boat for a few hours of live music, open bar and an all-you-can-eat buffet.

Lise, Nicki, Jon, Traci, Drew, Kimmy, Matt, Heather and Lars. 

Due to Hurricane Daniel, the weather on Maui started to take a turn on Thursday. It became more windy resulting in choppier water. But, that didn't stop us from enjoying out time at sea. Hey, you never know what's going to happen when you are on a tropical island.

Had to make sure to hold that skirt down with all the wind. 

Nice legs, Nicki! 

Yes, another picture of us. We can't help it, we're really cute!

How many drinks are you up to Drew? He took full advantage of that open bar. 

Enjoy the sunshine. 

We gave out an I Spy game for everyone to play during the night and favors to everyone. (Yes, we will be doing future posts about these.) They were to help get everyone talking and to know each other better. Sure, everyone had met at one time or another, but we were hoping to get the conversation and good times rolling quickly. Both the game and favors helped to make this happen. Plus, many friends commented on using what was in the favors many times during their time on the islands. Don't worry, I promise I will cover what was in the favor bags in another post. Soon, even.

Beautiful view. 

We had to do the Titanic.

I'm on a boat, bitch! And don't you forget it! 

After over two hours on the boat, being stuffed with all you can eat BBQ and drinking as much as we could, our time on the Pride of Maui came to an end. Next, we headed over to South Shore Tiki Lounge in Kihei for late night happy hour and to enjoy everyone's company some more. It was the perfect end to a really fun night.

Drinks all around. 

Looking relaxed for getting married so soon. Always a good sign! 

Check out South Shore Tiki Lounge next time you are in Kihei. 

Did you have a cock n hen party? What did you do for it?
