Unique Travel Experiences for Your Honeymoon - The Keys to Travel

Is your travel bucket list filled with as many unique travel experiences as mine? Your honeymoon is the perfect time to check off something on BOTH your bucket lists. A honeymoon doesn’t have to mean relaxing on a pristine beach somewhere in the Caribbean. It can mean staying in a glass igloo in Finland or exploring the famous European Christmas Markets.

Here are some unique travel experiences to help you figure out exactly what you want to do for your honeymoon.

European Christmas Market River Cruise

What could be more romantic than strolling through the most famous European Christmas Markets all bundled up in cozy clothing, sipping hot chocolate with your spouse?

European Christmas Market River Cruises are a perfect alternative honeymoon experience. Everything is included, like they would be at a tropical all-inclusive resort, with additional inclusions like port excursions. Each day you are exploring a different city with the ease of only having to unpack once.

I have put together a Group Trip for December 6-13, 2020. Join us for a discounted rate and a honeymoon experience you won’t forget! Click here for details.

Safari + Giraffe Manor

What about seeing and experiencing the wild together as newlyweds? There are many safari options throughout Africa from ultra-luxury to budget-friendly. Depending on which animals are at the top of your bucket list to see will help narrow down your location options.

If you really want to make this trip unique, stay at Giraffe Manor in Kenya. This boutique hotel has giraffes inside and out! Make sure to plan this honeymoon well in advance because Giraffe Manor books out very quickly!

Igloos and Ice Hotels

Want to get real cozy on your honeymoon? Stay at a glass igloo in Finland for perfect views of the Northern Lights. To get to your igloo, you are brought in by sled dogs! What a unique experience.

Or head to Sweden or Quebec to stay in an ice hotel. Just make sure to bring your parka!

Overwater Bungalow

The most ideal time to stay at an overwater bungalow is your honeymoon. It is a very romantic and secluded experience. It is a great way to relax, recharge, and connect after a busy time of wedding planning and celebration.

If you don’t want to travel too far for your honeymoon, there are resorts like Sandals and El Dorado Maroma that have overwater bungalows in Mexico, St. Lucia, and Jamaica. But if you really want to go big to check this one off your bucket list, head to the Maldives, Bora Bora or Fiji.

Pacific Coast Highway Road Trip

Don’t want to leave the country for your honeymoon? Are you a couple that loves a good road trip? Drive the Pacific Coast Highway! You can start, stop, and explore where you want. This could be a great option for a mini-moon if you have limited time. Or if you want to really go big, start in San Diego and drive all the way to Olympia, Washington!
