1 January 1970

Dreaming of a honeymoon that’s more than sun loungers and room service? Whether you’re stargazing in a glass igloo or road-tripping through Tuscany, here are ten adventure-packed, non-traditional honeymoon ideas designed for couples who want their love story to begin with wonder.

1
Roadtrip honeymoon

Swap the all-inclusive resort for spontaneity and open skies. Road trips give you the freedom to explore at your own pace – and make every detour part of the adventure. 

Pacific Coast Highway, USA - Ocean cliffs and charming beach towns. Ring Road, Iceland - Glaciers, geysers, and black sand beaches. Tuscany, Italy - Vineyards, slow travel, and rolling hills.

2
Learn somethin new together

Trying something new strengthens your bond even more and gives you stories to tell forever. 

Surf lessons in Bali Cooking classes in Italy Scuba diving certification in the Great Barrier Reef.

3
Start a meaningful tradition

Make your honeymoon even more personal by weaving in rituals that grow with your marriage. 

Write and seal letters to open on a future anniversary Collect keepsakes from each destination Snap the same photo pose everywhere you go

4
Try volunteering

Give back while exploring the world. Opt for experiences with heart and help others while also growing closer to each other. 

Wildlife rescue in Costa Rica Community projects in remote villages Environmental cleanups in national parks

5
Unexpected accommodations

Make your stay part of the story by choosing one-of-a-kind lodgings. When the place itself is magical, it doesn’t necessarily be that far away from home! A lighthouse with panoramic ocean views.

Floating cabins or houseboats gently rocking on a lake or river Glass igloos for stargazing all night

6
Blend adventure and relaxation

A perfect honeymoon balances thrill and tranquility. Plan a two-part trip for the best of both worlds. 

Hike Patagonia, then relax in an Argentinian vineyard Safari in Kenya, followed by beaches in Zanzibar Buzzing Tokyo, then a quiet countryside ryokan

7
Chase natural wonders

Mark the beginning of your life together with an unforgettable bucket-list moment.

Northern lights in Iceland or Norway Cherry blossoms in Japan Bioluminescent waves in Puerto Rico

8
An active honeymoon

For couples who love to move, a physically engaging honeymoon can be the adventure of a lifetime.

Hike to Machu Picchu Cycle through Vietnam’s countryside Ski the Swiss Alps

I thought I was just making a simple photo book, but halfway through, I realized I was reliving every moment. It’s more than a gift - it’s a time machine of all the best memories.

Your honeymoon is the start of your lifetime together - choose a honeymoon that reflects who you are as a couple and something you’ll never forget.
