28 Amazing Things to Do on Your Honeymoon

The festivities have settled down, the guests have departed for their homes, and the marriage has been concluded. Now, more than ever is the perfect time to go out on that honeymoon you've been planning for so long with your partner! Though you've probably got more than a few places planned in your mind already, you might be wondering about the various things the two of you will actually be doing while strolling about.

Set your mind at ease because we’ve got more than a few things listed down below for your consideration.

  1. Start the Day Early

Perhaps you’re not an early riser, but the first day of the honeymoon isn’t just any regular old day. Make the most of this special day by rising early and set the day rolling as you look forward to an entire experience devoted just for the two of you!

Plus, the earlier you wake up, the more time of the day you’ll have to do all the things you’ve planned and more. Enjoying the sight of a sunrise with each other is an added bonus!

  1. Drive Just for the Sake of It

Get driving! Being too mainstream and stuck to your plans can be a bit dry, so hop in your car and set out with no destination in mind. The sheer morning sights can be a day-starter by themselves!

Sometimes, the simple feeling of the road while being accompanied only by your partner can be a special experience as it boosts your feelings of intimacy! Since you’ll probably be bustling about in the crowds through the various tourist spots, get some alone time while also being out and about.

  1. Be One with Nature

You’ll be missing out on a great time if you don’t include at least some naturally aesthetic spots on your visiting list. A honeymoon can become so much more memorable if you tread through the mystifying beauties of nature, appreciating the natural state of the world.

Though the bustling environment of city life has a special feel to it, nature takes the prize when you just want to quiet down and appreciate the time with your companion. Surely a little bit of greenery would induce a pleasant experience you’re bound to have a hard time forgetting.

  1. Go Shopping

Though it sounds mainstream, a honeymoon can hardly be called fulfilling if you don't go shopping for exotic things at least once. Perhaps your beloved takes joy in going through rows of diverse clothes, choosing out from various fashion artifacts or simply likes the feel of having complete freedom in a market.

A honeymoon isn’t the time for saving, so let loose and go on your most memorable shopping spree yet! This way, you’ll also be bringing a plethora of stuff to remember your experience from!

  1. Don't Forget to Take Pictures

A honeymoon comes only once with your special someone. Imagine going on one and not recording probably the most precious memories you’ll have with him/her. Totally not an option, right? So, make sure you bring a decent camera and take pictures around every nook and cranny of your journey.

You’ll probably get some awkward ones too and laugh together later while reviewing those memories. These records will surely prove to be more than precious when you reflect on them far into the future!

  1. Try New Things

If you only do the stuff you’re already used to, the honeymoon won’t exactly stand out from the rest of your outdoor adventures. So, take this opportunity to try out new stuff. Go to a new restaurant, order a new dish, try a new ride, try on a different fashion or just do anything attractive you have to mildly step out of your comfort zone for.

You’re bound to have a special experience doing so while creating an exquisite memory to look back on too. Who knows? Perhaps trying out something new might just elevate your fun in ways you didn’t imagine.

  1. Marvel at the Stars

If you’re out and about in nature or in any place where the skies are clear, go out into a field and just lie down with your partner. The sky is a vast expanse of existence and you only truly appreciate its beauty when the countless stars are all visible, twinkling in the distance. The soothing quiet of nature followed by the infinite view in front of you will create the most intimate romantic moment you can share with your irreplaceable one. You’ll truly feel his/her presence under this great view.

  1. Go Cycling

Sure, cars are convenient and get you to your destinations in no time, but they often take the fun out of what could’ve been a wonderful ride. Get bicycles and ride them out to where you’re going! If you haven’t ridden a bicycle for years, your fun will only be elevated as you feel every mile of the journey while fully enjoying it.

Really bring out the memories from your childhood, only this time with your loved one! This will add fun not just to enjoying the visited spots, but even the process of going there!

  1. Take a Step Away from Social Media

As a denizen of the new era, you’re surely fully acquainted with social media and its addictiveness. However, just for these few days you have with your partner, limit its usage and only check for updates and notifications when you really need to.

Sure, post updates for relatives and friends whenever need be, but keep swiping away at the endless posts that always seem to kill time. You might just forget to make the most of these few days you have with your significant other.

  1. Listen to Romantic Songs

There are millions of love songs all over the world right now. The definition of love is the one thing people have agreed on at all times. Don't forget to listen to romantic songs around every turn of your journey!

Music, with its deeply penetrating nature, has a way of setting the mood in any circumstance, so make sure you use its power to stir up a special environment wherever you are. Besides, a honeymoon spent without songs can hardly be called eventful!

  1. Cut Yourself Away from Work

It goes without saying that work isn’t something you bring along when spending that special time with your significant other. However, one doesn’t have control of texts and emails from work that they can get at any time of the day.

A romantic mood ruined by the buzz of work can be a great mood killer, so make sure your boss and coworkers are aware that you're going on a honeymoon and it must not be interrupted while you're indulged in its memorable activities. Work is something that goes on indefinitely, so don't let your few days of intimate fun get ruined by it.

  1. Go Out on A Movie Night

Time in the cinema can turn romantic really quick if you’re on a date. Setting a night aside specially to watch a movie together is a great decision for your honeymoon. Regardless of the theme of the movie you’re watching, couples are really only interested in each other on a movie night, since, in the dark halls of a cinema, they create an implicit atmosphere of intimacy that’s never amiss among couples. Don’t make the mistake of skipping out the movie night. It can bring so much more to your experience through only a single night!

  1. Make Use of The Wineries

Any place good enough to tour for a honeymoon is bound to have at least a few decent wineries. Plan a special night out to try some of the best wines they can provide with an appetizing dinner. The simple addition of a decent drink can do loads to improve a dinner!

A good drink will set the mood just right to have a relaxing yet eventful night, especially if you're sharing it with your partner. Though some good wines may be a bit heavy monetarily, going the extra mile just for a single experience might be worth the investment for the night.

  1. Have A Candle Light Dinner

Nothing comes close to a candlelight dinner in comparison with other modes of date nights. Be its exquisite restaurants, starry nights or background with decent music, the addition of simple candlelight tops them all when inducing an almost conventional, yet the intimate mood of romance deep into the night.

Your focus will rest solely on your beloved’s frame as it becomes the only thing being illuminated by the dim light. Candle night dinners are a must if you’ve got a date night planned.

  1. Go Skating

On the occasion that you're visiting cold areas with naturally frozen lakes or have your sights set upon an indoor skating arena, you wouldn't be wrong to think to make use of one will be a great idea with him/her. It doesn't matter if you're not used to skating since even the initial struggle and effort can be memorable. You'll probably be laughing later as you look back on your clumsiness that, at the time, may have been embarrassing, but succeeded in making an irreplaceable memory.

  1. Take a Cruise

The sea is a vast body of water that, though overwhelming sometimes, is a view everyone desires to have at least once in their lives.

Cruising through its waves with the occasional gusts of winds stimulating your senses and a cheerful sun to brighten the day makes up for a refreshing experience even if you’re not on a honeymoon. Although, it makes it all the more enjoyable if you are! Add a unique charm to your journey travels together through cruising.

  1. Be Lively

Though it goes without saying, it's important to be and act lively on a honeymoon. Sure, tiredness follows all journeys and rest is an integral part of every venture, but a honeymoon isn't just any venture. It's a short, once in a lifetime vacation that you must squeeze the most out of while enjoying your companion's company to its fullest.

Even if you're feeling the brunt of all the travel, your partner might not be, so make sure you don't dampen the fun for both of you. You might just regret not giving this time your all later on.

  1. Limit Contact with Family

This sounds unethical and wrong but the explanation doesn’t tell what the title itself suggests. Family cares for you and provides in times of your hardships so they must always be kept close. However, it may not be a bad idea to limit contact to them when you’re trying to get a few days of alone time with your partner.

Some couples even consider it a plus point to be completely cut off from all relations and just enjoy each other’s attention for the few days they have together.

  1. Get Souvenirs

This point has been stressed before already but that just goes on to show its importance. Get souvenirs! Lots of souvenirs! You’ll have plenty of media content to reflect on your trips later on for sure, but a physical artifact carries a special and almost symbolic meaning with it that you’ll only understand once you take one back.

You can keep it on a shelf for a display to always remind you of the good times later on in life. Furthermore, you'll have something to show to the ones waiting back home.

  1. Wear Exotic Clothes

Your honeymoon isn’t a regular old date, so looking just good won’t suffice. Wear exquisite clothes and try out new features to diversify your sense of fashion every day! Look more than good: look exotic! Motivate your partner to do the same and become the most unique couple among all others. The consequent photos to follow will also be lovely with the unique look you’ll be presenting.

  1. Select A Hotel with A Good View

Gazing upon the busy streets of the city from the quite of your balcony carries a special weight with it. Or perhaps you’re visiting a natural tourist site and have mountains or rows of trees to gaze at through the night!

Whatever splendid view it may be, don't forget to include it in the requirements for the hotel room you'll be booking for your stay. Sheer aesthetic beauty is often a single factor that separates itself insignificance from the rest of the attractions you'll be having on your honeymoon. It's always great to have something good to look at in the clutches of your world.

  1. Plan Out the Timings

Yes, we get it. You’ve got a long list of places to visit stored in your mind, if not on paper. But keep in kind that the days aren’t going to get longer just for your convenience. It’ll be a damper on the fun if many of the plans the two of you made end up never transpiring, simply because there wasn’t more light left in the day for them to do so.

Time your visits accordingly so the most important places don’t get left out. You might just enjoy that last spot you were going to skip more than the rest of them.

  1. Go Out on A Night Walk

Romance is best experienced at night, under the quiet, dark sky with your other half holding your hand tight. The night will have you talking in a way you couldn't have in the busy day traveling about, or maybe being quiet for a little while is more like your type of romance. Moreover, the simplicity of the stroll will help bring about a different type of intimacy than your travels during the day.

  1. Make Proper Monetary Preparations

It’s never a bad idea to save up for your honeymoon a few months beforehand. You’ll probably need to spend a bit outside your usual comfort zone during these few days so it’s best to be prepared to go the extra mile for a few days. The memories you create with this expense will surely be worth it.

  1. Be One with The Culture

What better way to enjoy a society could there be than to be a part of its culture and support its values! React frequently with the natives, and make yourself feel at home there. Temporarily adopting a different set of values is also a great mental refreshment and would count as a unique experience for your honeymoon as well.

  1. Consider the Weather When Packing

Running around a number of places all with different climates can be quite the headache to prepare for, but make sure you do so properly. Realizing at the eleventh hour that you've forgotten your jacket while it's snowing outside can easily ruin the time you'd planned to have.

  1. Don't Stay Indoors Too Long

You’ll probably be spending your life with your partner anyway, so say goodbye to the hotel and march out! Even if you’re not the greatest extrovert, make an exception for these few days and spend as much time outdoors as you can. Experience the complete joy and delight the place has in store for both of you!

  1. Spend At Least A Week

As stated earlier, you only get to have one honeymoon with your partner. Make sure it lasts a good while so you’ll have the chance to make more memories to share and reflect on as the years go by! After all, the intimate moments you share in these days carry a special significance not easily found elsewhere!
