When it comes to honeymoons, there are couples who can’t wait for their luxurious holiday in an expensive resort to start, while there are also those who have something different in mind. For couples who don’t shy away from excitement and adventures, we give you a list of the best destinations which will make your honeymoon truly unforgettable.
The Spooky Rocky Mountains
The Rockies are the best for pretty much any time of the year: you can go snowboarding and skiing in the winter, and go hiking, camping, and cycling in the summer. If you come in winter, you can even go dog-sledging and pretend you’re an explorer of the Wild West. Still, for those who would like to go a step further and aren’t afraid of the dark, Dunton Hot Springs is a place to see. The place carries its own share of spooky history, as it was the site of a ghost mining town from the 1800s. Not only that, but there are some amazing sulfur-free hot springs perfect for taking a dip in.
The secret part of Mexico
Beaches on the Caribbean coast of Mexico may get all the publicity, but there is a hidden gem just waiting to be explored by those who love adventure. Rio Secreto (Secret River) is often referred to as one of the best-kept secrets of the Yucatan peninsula and for good reason. It is an underground river and a series of caves and caverns that will leave you breathless. Once you get there, you can swim in the turquoise water and learn about Mayan history and legends, and the best thing is that this is the perfect activity for a rainy day, as pretty much everything happens underground so it doesn’t matter what the weather is like.
Beneath the Maldives
Everyone’s heard of the Maldives and their breathtakingly beautiful sandy beaches and azure shores. A secluded archipelago in the Indian Ocean really has a lot to offer to those who are looking for a way to relax and enjoy the beauty of nature. There are plenty of secluded resorts with charming beaches, and if you want to add a bit more excitement, you visit an underwater nightclub or a coral nursery. There is also a treat for those who don’t mind working hard for their ‘reward’: a restaurant that can be reached only by boat. If you’re really feeling adventurous, you can try a nighttime snorkel tour and get a chance to see what the underwater world looks like when the Sun sets.
Hidden coast of East Australia
Byron Bay is the place to be when you’re an adventure-loving couple looking for a chance to explore the world. Kayaking with dolphins, snorkelling, ballooning, surfing, skydiving, and hang gliding are just some of the things available for you to do while exploring this part of the Australian coast. Now, just because you’re in for an adventure it doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy a couple of well-earned comforts. If you book Byron Bay luxury accommodation you will be able to go on an extravagant whale watching tour and still enjoy your WiFi, yoga, and comfortable double beds.
Warm up in Iceland
Icelandic scenery is much like its weather: unpredictable and frequently changing. Empty and seemingly barren volcanic landscape gives way to grassy plains that remind you of New Zealand and Tolkien’s Shire; and neither is too far off from hot springs, geysers, and powerful waterfalls. Of course, one of the things that Iceland is most famous for is the Northern Lights, but hot springs in the Blue Lagoon are equally popular. If you like hiking and exploring, take a trip to a lovely Snaefellsjökull National Park where you will be able to go looking for a beautiful hidden waterfall and see a couple of huge lava formations.
The fact that we are so different from each other makes it more interesting to live and to get to know other people a bit better. You might enjoy adventures but it doesn’t mean that your significant other shares your passion to the same extent. Before you make any definitive arrangements, make sure you talk things through with your partner and always try to come to a conclusion together as a couple.
