Mexico, Hawaii, Caribbean, and Europe have been are the most popular honeymoon destinations.  Although these destinations are gorgeous, and you can get some amazing deals, some couples want more unconventional honeymoon ideas.  So I put together a list of ten of my favorite unique honeymoon ideas.  The first on my list of unique honeymoon ideas is…

Costa Rica!

For those couples experiencing Costa Rica for the first time, be prepared to be amazed.  This Central American destination is full of pristine beaches, scenic coastlines, rich cultures, and exotic wildlife.  Costa Rica is perfect for a unique honeymoon destination because the landscaping and climate varies so much within the country that within an hour’s drive you will feel like you have entered a new country.

The exotic wildlife is really the pride of Costa Rica.  Imagine waking up in your hotel room and looking out your window to see a tree full of monkeys.  Or laying on the beach and watching a red macaw fly overhead.  To see some of the amazing wildlife in the jungle, consider taking one of their world famous canopy safaris.  An extensive system of zip line and pulleys are arranged throughout the upper jungle allowing you to explore the exotic animals while flying high in the sky.

The Locals in Costa Rica use the term “pura vida” which means “pure life” in English.  This is their motto and will epitomize your experience in Costa Rica. 

There are lots to do for the adventurous couple.  Aside from the amazing canopy safaris, there is also amazing surfing beaches, hiking, scuba diving and other water sports to keep you occupied.  However the beaches are amazing so if you want to just lay out and relax you will have no problem here.

Some honeymoon ideas for staying in Costa Rica is to try and book your vacation for the winter months.  The summer is extremely hot and humid and almost unbearable.  Also keep in mind that while English is a second language in this country, it would still be a good idea to learn a little Spanish.  Important phrases like “bathroom” or “how much” will suffice.  Also the monetary exchange rate is very good for US and Canada so you should be able to find some great deals for vacation packages and souvenirs.
