The most popular destination for honeymoons in the USA are Hawaii, California, Florida and Nevada – Vegas, baby! When couples look to organise their honeymoon, which is, let’s face it, just as important as the actual ceremony, they’re usually looking for romance, relaxation, a splash of luxury and plenty of fun. In America, you can find it all in abundance, so it’s no surprise that this is one of the world’s best places for a honeymoon.
Tinggly experience gifts make travel more adventurous, and so naturally they make fantastic honeymoon gift ideas. With this guide we’re going to take a look at these top USA honeymoon destinations, and suggest experiences in each to make them that little bit more special and memorable.
Hawaii Honeymoon Ideas
A laidback island nation famed for its pristine golden beaches and epic sunsets, Hawaii is perhaps the quintessential honeymoon destination. You’ll probably be thinking about sipping Mai Tais under palm trees, maybe trying out some surfing, and dining on fresh seafood every evening, but there’s a lot more to Hawaii than just the obvious attractions.
If you’re the adventurous type, you can take a night dive with manta rays in the waters off Kona; visit a black sand beach popular with giant sea turtles, then trek to the summit of a volcano for an unforgettable romantic sunset, and even test your nerve by cage diving with sharks!
In LA meanwhile, you can spend a day riding rollercoasters, and going behind the scenes of your favourite blockbuster Hollywood movies at the Universal Studios theme park. Or for a change of pace, why not take a tour of some up-and-coming craft breweries in the South Bay area, with plenty of tastings promised along the way.
Florida Honeymoon Ideas
Florida sees year-round sunshine making it the ideal destination for sunseekers and beach-lovers, as well as honeymooning couples who like theme parks and golf courses of course. The state also has some of the most fascinating wildlife in the USA, which is why we think if you’re planning a Florida honeymoon you should get out into nature a little.
Why not try a night time kayaking tour on the Banana River, when the water shimmers with millions of bioluminescent organisms, lighting up your journey as you paddle gently along. You might also encounter dolphins, manatees and turtles. Another side of nature is on display with an actionpacked ziplining adventure near Orlando, that sees you zooming over a conservation area that provides a habitat to alligator, black bear and even the endangered Florida panther!
Nevada Honeymoon Ideas
Honeymoons in Las Vegas offer you the opportunity, if you’re very lucky, to win back the entire cost of your wedding at the tables – not that we’re recommending that you try! But there’s so much more to Sin City than just the casinos and the nightlife, most especially the spectacular desert panoramas on view just outside the city limits.
Head out for a day to a genuine working ranch in the Red Rock Canyon, where you can take a horseback ride through ancient rock formations and immerse yourself in the Great American Outdoors. For a different view of Vegas, you can also opt for a VIP helicopter ride above the Strip, to see the city’s many iconic landmarks from above when they are all brilliantly illuminated.
California Honeymoon Ideas
Most California honeymoons will centre around either San Francisco or Los Angeles, which offer culture, beaches, entertainment and amazing cuisine in equal measure. Frankly, it doesn’t matter if you’re staying in the City of Angels or the City by the Bay, you’ll never be short on ideas for things to see and do on your honeymoon, but here’s our take on some of the best California gift experiences to try.
The Napa Valley, close to San Francisco, is famed around the world for the quality of its wines, and you can enjoy an expert led wine tasting session at some of the valley’s most prestigious boutique wineries. If wine isn’t your thing though, you can also learn how to make your own craft cocktails on a guided tour around some of the coolest bars in San Francisco.
In LA meanwhile, you can spend a day riding rollercoasters, and going behind the scenes of your favourite blockbuster Hollywood movies at the Universal Studios theme park. Or for a change of pace, why not take a tour of some up-and-coming craft breweries in the South Bay area, with plenty of tastings promised along the way.
