I don't know what I was expecting, but this was hardly what I'd call a virtual vacation.

I am the producer of "Hawaiian Dreams" and thanks to some customer feedback regarding our web ads and logos between the 'Day' segments, we have removed them from our "New Director's Cuts" as of March 2005 and all future dvds.
However, some recent reviewers are buying used 'original' copies and writing out of date reviews. We guarantee that you will be happy with this Director's Cut from Amazon and that we will refund your purchase with your receipt if you are not satisfied. Simply call our 800 number on the DVD and/or visit our website. Also, if you have an older 'original' copy, we will gladly exchange it free of charge at our website. Your satisfaction is guaranteed with us. Now relax and enjoy our Waves DVDs.

I bought this DVD along with another as part of an anniversary day. I received and reviewed the DVD with pleasure. The folks that made the DVD did a great job of picking unoccupied beaches and nice locations. Both video quality and sound were excellent. Looks great on a big screen! My only complaint is that they didn't spend longer at each beach, but they did cover every island. Worth the money.
Glorious and relaxing...&director has great customer service May 14, 2005

This gorgeous DVD helped me very much with my insomnia, because it just has the sound of the waves and beautiful beach scenes of different varieties-- there's a black sand beach, white sand beaches, scenes of midday and plenty of AMAZING sunsets... all from many different Hawaiian islands. I grew up on Oahu and of course travelled throughout the islands so I think the choices will surprise people who have travelled in Hawaii, are from Hawaii, or who have always wanted the chance to go there. There aren't any hokey touristy vistas (so in some ways it's better than actually being at the famous beaches), or the intense crowds. These are exceptional beach choices that you may have never seen before, but none of the scenes are boring either.
There's just enough to listen to and look at like a lone person in the distance, one bird that waddles into the scene and begins entertaining itself by the waves, or the waters swirling and breaking around rocks so that it begins slowly deepening and then lulling you into tranquility. For anyone who has slept by the sea you know how healthful it can be. Again, I recommend it for someone suffering any health conditions and insomnia as well, like myself, and I've been using it as a background for meditation which I particularly enjoy. You can turn the subtitles on or off which tell you what the names of the beaches are and what island they're on, and you can loop the DVD automatically so that it runs endlessly through all of the scenes. You can skip to your favorite day as well, for instance if you wanted the last day's particularly beautiful sunset. The "Hawaiian Dreams" doesn't have any pop-up ads that I've seen some people write about. Maybe the Zen ones are what they're referring to?
I lucked out b/c I bought it from the director and my first DVD was damaged, maybe in the mail. He immediately replaced it and wished me a Happy Mother's Day. I have to say that he had great customer service and quick deliveries but it's the product that I've really enjoyed. I'm waiting for the Caribbean and will probably buy more beach DVD's. I read that he's doing a nature trail version which I hope is true. I would love a gentle rainstorm DVD too.
