Summary: Definitely a Relaxation DVD!
Review: If you are wanting a documentary filled with breathtaking arial footage of the beautiful Hawaiian Islands, you'd better look somewhere else. This is, and I repeat, a relaxation DVD! There is nothing exciting about it, but it is perfect if you are wanting to play something soothing while you doze of to blissful slumber on a quiet winter evening. It has still footage of five different beaches on each of the six main islands, separated into separate "days" for each island. Each day has at least one beautiful sunset shot. The shots are ussually about 2 minutes long so you are not stuck with same shot for 15 minutes like some relaxation DVDs. All told, you won't find a better relaxation DVD of the Hawaiian Islands anywhere else, I've looked! So if that's what your looking for, you've found it.

Summary: Relaxation at its best
Review: My wife and I just returned from a 14 day vacation to the islands. The first thing we commented on was how much we missed the ocean sounds and tropical feeling we had enjoyed during our stay. Hawaiian Dreams allows us to enjoy the serenity of calm ocean waves lapping up on the beach, just like we remembered. Sometimes we just leave Waves running in the living room so we can hear the ocean in the distance. My wife wants to get the new "Caribbean Beaches" and if it's anything like this one it's an easy decision. I saw a review where the person must have been looking for an IMAX tourist guide instead of a tropical relaxation experience. While it may not be as sharp as IMAX, that doesn't mean its not pretty, and its definately twice the resolution of VHS. I guess if I were looking for a Hollywood blockbuster film on the Hawaiian Islands I would expect that sort of production. However, if you are looking for beautiful scenes with natural tropical stereo sound, not 'artificially' mixed surround sound and no cheezy overdubbed elevator music, then Waves is just the ticket. Enjoy!

Summary: Pardon the Interruption
Review: Nice premise. Too bad the serenidy is interrupted with advertisements for their webpage, telling you what day it is of your vacation, and other graphics. The cliff views were not too impressive either. I lived in Hawaii twice and they could have picked some better beaches.

Review: Thanks to you guys at Waves! These videos are excellent. Having just returned from Hawaii and wanting to keep the memory of a romantic vacation alive, I bought the CDs and I'm glad I did. Judy and I really enjoy watching the videos together when we relax. The shots are incredible and the timing is perfect, each scene flows like water into the next. Very relaxing, I will definitely be getting the whole set for my family. Thanks again, Jon

Summary: Very soothing...
Review: The image quality could have been better (Kinda grainy...), and the sound seems a little muffled.
But otherwise this is a great DVD. The tranquility will make you forget about the minor drawbacks I mentioned above. The fixed camera angles and lack of music really lets your mind wander off and enjoy a virtual trip to the Hawaiian islands. Soak away your stress with this DVD. It's worth it!

Summary: could be more relaxing
Review: The shots of Hawaiian beaches are nice, but the editors don't really give you a chance to relax because they cut the shots way too frequently. I mean hey, it's relaxing to sit for awhile on the beach. Jumping to a different beach every 3 minutes or so...that's not that relaxing.
