The Best Adventure Honeymoon Ideas
Unsure of where to take your first trip as a married couple? Read on to discover the best action-packed Culture Trip adventures across the globe.
If you’d rather spend your honeymoon hiking on glaciers in Iceland, camping in the Galápagos Islands, or spotting pyramids than relaxing around a pool, Culture Trip has you covered. These are the top honeymoon ideas for outdoorsy couples to get married life off to an adventurous start – with extreme honeymoon activities packed into these itineraries, it’s sure to be a trip to remember.
Exploring the Galápagos Islands like Darwin
Nothing says adventure like a trip to the remote Galápagos Islands, following in the footsteps of Charles Darwin. Alongside spotting incredibly diverse wildlife – think giant tortoises, marine iguanas, Galápagos penguins and blue-footed boobies – there’s also the opportunity to snorkel around underwater volcanic formations, hike lava trails and explore uninhabited islands. Newly-wed couples will love staying at the Galápagos Magic Camp in the highlands of Santa Cruz. The secluded retreat boasts six safari-style tents and four treehouses with giant tortoises roaming freely around the camp.
Seeing an ancient wonder of the world in Egypt
Tick a major item off your bucket list together on our nine-day epic around Egypt. Start in Cairo, where you’ll see the Great Pyramid of Giza and the Sphinx, before heading south to see the Valley of the Kings and Luxor Temple – which you’ll visit at night, to see the site illuminated by candlelight. Slow down as you cruise the Nile on a luxury ship, stopping to visit Karnak Temple and the Souq of Luxor. This trip is perfect for making magical honeymoon memories, like boarding a felucca (traditional sailboat) for a cocktail party at sunset, or going for a kayak on the waters of the Nile itself.
