3.    Costa Rica

Costa Rica is a famed destination for honeymooners, bachelor parties, anniversary trips and other exclusive tailor-made getaways. The volcanoes and beaches offer fantastic spots for hiking, trekking, rafting and snorkelling. But be warned, the country is not a cheap place to visit, although there are budget tours available if you know where to look.

Many adventures in Costa Rica are expensive so it’s a good idea to be selective on the things you want to spend money on. All the beaches are easily accessible and they are also free.

But if you’re looking to travel around the island, which means hiring a car, go snorkelling, kite surfing and deep-sea fishing, then prepare to part with a sizeable fee. It’s certainly recommended to find a company who can help organise your trip for you before you book.  This will help you make the most of the activities you decide to do and help you achieve the honeymoon that you really want.

4.    Bora Bora

Getting to Bora Bora in Tahiti can be tricky as you need to book a flight with Air Tahiti from Australia. While this involves a stopover in Auckland NZ, it is a pretty seamless flight path that takes the better part of a day.

If you choose to add Bora Bora to your bucket-list of honeymoon resort destinations, then prepare for plenty of activities that include jet-skiing, kayaking, kite-surfing, snorkelling and stand up paddle-boarding.

Although it’s tempting to arrive in Bora Bora and confine yourself to the resort it is strongly recommended you venture beyond the island and explore other parts like Moorea, which offers fantastic scenery and is also less crowded.
