Should we honeymoon in Hawaii?
My fiancee and I are planning to go on a honeymoon in late June. We figure for about the same price as a week or so in Hawaii (option 1) we could take an Alaskan cruise, stay in Vancouver a couple of days, and even go to a cheaper all inclusive resort in Puerto Vallarta for 4 days (option 2). Option 3 is a cruise to the Bahamas or Galapagos Islands. Option 4 is Australia, but I’m concerned about late June being a bad time of year. I’m probably more adventurous than her as she is a bit cautious, but I think we both would like a good mix of adventure, culture, and relaxation. I’m partial to option 2 as I’ve traveled a lot, & done the Volcano thing (Costa Rica), but she hasn’t traveled anywhere hardly at all. If we choose the Hawaii option, what is the best way to see Hawaii? Any suggestions for Hawaii, the other options, or something else. Europe’s out as I’ve been there 3 times myself recently and it’s expensive. Time should not be a problem, as we are taking 3 – 4 weeks off.
I vote for Hawaii or the Galapagos Islands.
Hawaii would be great in late June. Not too hot!
I’m not sure what an Alaskan cruise would be like in June. Granted, since the Ice caps are melting fast, this might be your only opportunity to see them.
Avoid the cruise or the Caribbean. Culture is pretty hard to experience in all inclusive type places.
If you go to Hawaii, the best way to see it is to bounce around a little.
Spend 3-4 days in Waikiki and rent a car and drive around the island….no need to stay in just one spot.Just don’t camp…camping is weird in Hawaii, very unsafe. We were wildly surprised by this. Plus they have a bizarre wild chicken problem!
Then, go to Maui for 3 to 5 days. The rainforest trip should is better on with a tour group, but doing everything else is better by car. I’d stay in a villa or condo though. There’s more independance and a lot more affordable. Plus there are some great places to stay. Kihei is cheap, but, the beaches aren’t great. Lahaina would be a great central place to stay! Explore the beaches and restaurants. What great about Maui is that the landscape differs so dramaticaly depending on the side of the island you’re on.
Go to the Big Island for a few days..and perhaps pick another island!
Have fun!
