Active Honeymoons Done Right

I was recently asked to blog about active honeymoons, so here it is!

The first place that comes to mind is Costa Rica. I’ve known a few brides who’ve honeymooned there, and it epitomizes an active honeymoon to a T. Touring volcanoes, hot springs, natural canopies, banana plantations, and waterfall gardens, Costa Rica has it all, including gorgeous beaches for the days you are feeling less adventurous. Costa Rica is also relatively affordable compared to the more long-distance adventure locations, like Tahiti and Fiji, and it offers a variety of accommodation options, ranging from resorts to more rustic, mountain bungalow settings.

If you’re feeling very adventurous, try an African Safari, on my “must do sometime in life” list.
White-water rafting, elephant-back safaris, canoeing, game viewing and scenic flights will keep the pulse racing throughout your entire trip. If those aren’t enoough, add shark diving, whale watching, and sailing to the list. Remember that an African safari really requires at least two weeks, if not more, as it takes awhile to get there, and, come on, once you’re in Africa, you mind as well take your time! Where to stay? Check out this incredible hotel in Cape Town, the Twelve Apostles.

Other active honeymoon locations? Mexico, Belize, Australia, and New Zealand.

When planning your active honeymoon, it’s even more important to be organized than with a beach vacation. Think about visiting a travel agent, buy tickets and confirm hotels early, and start packing weeks before your trip – you’ll need much more than a bathing suit and some shorts!
