Soak in hot springs and hang with the sloths in Costa Rica
For most people a honeymoon will be the most adventurous, exotic and memorable vacation of their entire lives. Well, if you want to make sure all three of those boxes are ticked, you need to head to Costa Rica. This Central American paradise blends off-the-beaten-path experiences in jungles and hot springs with the laid-back joys of its beachy Pacific coastline. Our eight-day trip has a bit of everything, from sloth-spotting and natural hot spring soaking in the shadow of Arenal Volcano, to nighttime treks through the mystical cloud forests of Monteverde and surf lessons in the laid-back surf town of Tamarindo.

Sip fine wine and take scenic train rides in Portugal
Southern Europe lights up in summer, and if you want the glitz and glamour of a glorious Mediterranean escape for your honeymoon, then take note of Portugal. This country oozes indulgence, from the sweet treats of local artisan patisseries to the full-bodied wines of the Douro Valley. Our eight-day Rail Trip takes you on an adventure between the country’s two major cities. The first, Porto, is famous for its sweet fortified wine, which you’ll become familiar with before tracing the grapes all the way to the Douro Valley. This gorgeous wine region is beautiful at this time of year, and you’ll get a boat ride and a wine tasting before catching the scenic train back to Porto. Next up is Aveiro – Portugal’s answer to Venice – famed for its colourful boats and egg pastries, where we stop off for a night en route to Lisbon. Experience a soulful Fado show, gorge on pastel de nata and watch the sunset from one of the capital’s seven hills, before rounding off the tour with a day trip to the magical fairytale town of Sintra.
