Summary: VIRTUAL BLISS
Review: This DVD has been virtual bliss for me, here in NY. It's been a wonderful gift to be able to escape and enjoy the Hawaiian waves and sunsets. It's natural bliss. If you're expecting a quick music montage of Hawaii's beauty, this is NOT your video. However, if you really want to relax and experience Hawaii's natural beauty - virtually - this is it! All six islands are captured in their own unique ten minute segment. Spend a few minutes with each non moving, non zooming shot, just sitting there. Listening to the waves, and letting your mind wander... Without quick 'Hollywood' editing, you are invited into the shot to relax and admire mother nature's rhythm and flow. Each segment consists of 5 shots lasting a few minutes each, capturing a complete day ending with a marvelous sunset. It truly is a 'mindmassage' meant for you to just relax, do nothing, and be! (I have been so relaxed that I have drifted off to sleep. That's really a blessing considering everything.) Much more soothing than a fishtank or fireplace, you'll be gratefully transported to a far off land of peace and beauty. Play your favorite CD: Enya, Pure moods, smooth jazz, whatever?! for a completely different - but still lovely - experience. Share this wonderful gift with your friends and family. They'll thank you for it.

Summary: You've got to get this DVD!
Review: This DVD is wonderful! It brings me back to when I first visited the Islands. The scenery is beautiful, especially the sunrises and sunsets, and the sounds of the waves are so soothing and relaxing. There are so many colors -- the green mountains, the puffy clouds, blue and purple sky, the warm sand, and the crystal clear green and blue water. It makes me want to jump in. Once I turn it on, I can't stop watching it!

Summary: Beautiful, awesome, peaceful
Review: This is a wonderful backdrop for relaxation, very calming and without New-Age music! The whole Waves collection is a joy to own and a wonderful way to wind down after a long day. I recommend it to anyone I know who meditates or does yoga.

Summary: Hawaiin Dreams Waves very soothing
Review: This is one dvd I can't quit watching.I've already watched it six times since I got it.Hawaiian dreams features 6 islands 11 minutes each of ocean veiws from each island.Most of these waves are of the lapping kind though on some islands they get big toward sunset.My favorites are day 4 on Lanai and day 5 on Maui.Day 4 features heavy waves surrounding you with rocks in between and miniture waterfalls coming off the rocks as the waves crash into them.This was shot number three.Day 5 on Maui features big crashing waves.Each island ends with a beautiful sunset over the ocean.I beleive I saw it sink below the water in one of the islands.The picture on most of these islands is pristine and sharp.The details in the waves are deep blues and whites.The dvd brings out the reds in the sunset and also the deep blues in the sky before sunset.Also on certain islands you can see rocks and sand far away from the ocean suddenly get submerged by waves which pull back out again.Their is very few sea gulls in this one but you do see one every so often.The sound is in dolby diginal surround and sounds great on a tv surround sound speaker system.This dvd is so relaxing it can cause you to go to sleep while your watching it.Total running time is 74 minutes of ocean views.Dvd features include loop play,instant island access thru chapter search and previews of the other vacation waves series.(...)

Summary: It is just like being there
Review: This video takes me back to the great times I spent in Hawaii and the sweet memory of my engagement proposal on the beach in Maui. The sunsets are so real and the sound make you feel like you really are there. You have to see it to believe it. Amazing!

Summary: A window view if you can't afford to live there!
Review: We have all of these DVD's from the whole series and we love them. We have LCD panels in each room of our home connected to a centralized DVD-changer, and we basically just loop through all of the discs day-in and day-out. We literally have them on from wake-up to bedtime, every day.
The newer DVD's have less of the graphics some find intrusive, and there's supposed to be a "director's Cut" version of the earlier ones coming out in the Fall with no graphics at all.
Still, the fact that the DVD's have no narrative, corny music, or overlaid text (brief intermission text aside) - plus the fact that they loop - are what makes them unique. I've found nothing at all like them, and there are definitely worth getting - especially if you have a plasma or LCD panel where you can just keep it running all day. It's truly like a window view from the beach house most of us (me included!) will never afford.
(Yeah, and for those who DO have beach houses, or live on Maui, well, yeah I suppose you have a right to be critical when comparing these to the "real" thing, but c'mon! Think of all the folks in Kansas :O) The rest of us NEED these DVD's!)

Summary: Waves Review
Review: What a great DVD. The scenery and photography are incredible. It is the perfect de-stress solution after a hectic day. If you are expecting a surfing video, you may be disappointed, but if you want to see and hear some of the most beautiful spots on the Hawaiian Islands presented in a relaxing format, you will really enjoy this DVD as we have. It has also given me some great gift ideas too! Thanks Waves!
