Book a "honeyteer" vacation. In 2010, CNN reported on such vacations, in which couples opt for a honeymoon during which they contribute to bettering the lives of others. Instead of merely being tourists, the CNN piece noted, couples on these trips can "raise awareness about the life they will share with their partner." UVolunteer offers a Costa Rica trip in which volunteer vacationers assist at an orphanage, playing with children and teaching English. The children's home is located in San Ramon, an hour from Costa Rica's capital and from the beaches in a region National Geographic noted has "the best climate in the world."
Go on an adventure travel vacation. If you're excited to have found a mate who can keep up with your high energy level, book a Costa Rica package that incorporates white water kayaking and mountain biking. You and your honey can get up close and personal with Costa Rica's tropical beauty by paddling and pedaling through it. Choose a travel package with the accommodations you prefer, which may be a bed and breakfast, jungle lodge or camp site.
Immerse yourselves in birdwatching in Costa Rica. Celebrate your newlywed status and your shared interest in birding in a location that holds more than 800 species of tropical birds. Imagine viewing brilliantly colored hummingbirds flitting through the rainforest or seeing a scarlet macaw in its natural habitat. Give wings to the most romantic vacation of your life by joining a guided birdwatching tour of the regions of Costa Rica.
Enjoy the beautiful scenery while developing your inner serenity at a spa retreat. Receive massages on side-by-side tables, take a dip in the pool and participate in yoga classes. Some retreats offer yoga teacher training. Others devote weeks to a particular style of yoga or other forms of healing, such as reflexology.
