Question

What is the ideal honeymoon destination which combines beach and adventure?

Answer 1

Negril, Jamaica.

We took our honeymoon there and I can personally report they have the beach part down pat!

We stayed at the Swept Away Resort (which was under different ownership at the time), http://swept-away.com/honeymoon.htm

We loved our time here - just stay clear of hurricane season, though we did 10 days in early December without a problem.



You could get your adventure quotient from activities at the resort, catamaran sailing, scuba, para-sailing, or day trips out of the resort into Jamaica with many activities to choose from, see http://www.jamaicans.com/tourist/negril/negrilDoSee.htm for an example. Jamaica is not that large, so you can easily travel to other parts of the island outside of Negril to satisfy your adventure thirst.

Answer 2

I'm going to vote for the Big Island of Hawaii - beaches, snorkeling, etc; plus Volcanoes National Park, and the summit of Mauna Kea. There's also a green sand beach that's an adventure just to get to, and rainforests on the wet side of the island.

Answer 3

Cruises to Mexico, the Carribean or the Bahamas offer the flexibility of being able to visit several of the most beautiful beaches. Most ports of call have tours you can schedule through the ship's cruise director/activities office. You can do anything from snorkeling to scuba diving, sailing to parasailing, fishing to racing a regatta that was used in an old America's Cup race.

Answer 4

New Zealand south Ireland. Great beaches combined with excellent hiking and extreme sports like bungy jumping. Hire a camping van and travel around. A totally cool experience.

Answer 5

I went to the island of Koh Samui in Thailand for my honeymoon. Koh Saumi is in the Gulf of Thailand and was not affected by the tsunami. The beaches are beautiful! There's plenty of water and jungle activities. We chose Thailand over Hawaii because we wanted to explore a differnt country and, for cost spending one week in Hawaii, we were able to spend two weeks in Thailand. There are many luxury resorts to choose from.

Answer 6

I think you can't go wrong with a well planned trip to Costa Rica which offers beaches, jungles, volcanoes, white water rafting, zip line canopy tours of the rain forest, monkeys, golfing and much more.
