Types of Honeymoon

Honeymoon types

From wild adventures to barefoot luxury, discover the honeymoon that suits you best

Every couple has their own idea of what makes the perfect honeymoon. For some, it’s all about slowing down — long walks on the beach, lazy breakfasts, and sunset cocktails. For others, it’s about shared adventure: tracking wildlife on safari, exploring vibrant cities, or diving into crystal-clear lagoons.

At Far and Wild, we believe a honeymoon should feel completely your own. Whether you picture yourselves tucked away in a luxury safari camp, drifting between islands in the Indian Ocean, or discovering hidden temples and mountain trails together, we’ll help you find the right balance of romance, adventure and indulgence.

Explore the different types of honeymoon below to start shaping your dream trip — each one can be tailored to match your pace, your passions, and how you want to begin married life together.

Different Honeymoon Types

Safari and Beach Honeymoons

A safari and beach honeymoon gives you the best of both worlds — wild adventure followed by total relaxation. Start your journey on safari, waking to the sounds of the bush and spending your days exploring vast, untamed landscapes teeming with wildlife. Then swap the savannah for soft sands and turquoise seas, where you can slow down completely with lazy beach days and oceanfront sunsets. Whether it’s Kenya and the Seychelles, Tanzania and Zanzibar, or South Africa and Mauritius, this combination is endlessly romantic — the perfect balance of excitement and serenity.

Luxury Honeymoons

A luxury honeymoon is all about the details — the places, moments, and experiences that make your time together feel effortlessly special. Think private plunge pools overlooking the ocean, candlelit dinners under the stars, and attentive service that anticipates your every need. Whether you’re gliding through the Okavango Delta, unwinding in a Maldivian villa, or exploring South Africa’s winelands, luxury comes from how it makes you feel — relaxed, connected, and completely free to savour every moment.

Adventure Honeymoons

An adventure honeymoon is for couples who’d rather chase horizons than stay still. It’s about discovering new places together — hiking through cloud forests, kayaking past mangroves, or setting out on a sunrise trek to the top of a volcano. You’ll share moments that push you just beyond the ordinary, with a touch of comfort waiting at the end of each day. Whether it’s Costa Rica, Patagonia or Namibia, an adventure honeymoon is the perfect way to begin married life with a story worth telling.

Familymoon

A familymoon is all about celebrating your new life together while including the people who matter most. It’s a chance to combine adventure, relaxation, and shared experiences — from safaris that thrill every age, to beach resorts with space for both play and quiet, grown-up moments. Thoughtful planning means everyone gets to enjoy themselves, creating memories that will be treasured long after the trip ends. Whether it’s a multi-generational journey or just a small group of loved ones, a familymoon blends connection, fun, and a little luxury into one unforgettable escape.

Babymoons

A babymoon is all about slowing down and savouring your last moments as a couple before your little one arrives. Think gentle beach walks, spa treatments, candlelit dinners, and sunsets that stretch on forever — the kind of trip that’s as relaxing as it is romantic. Whether it’s a serene villa in the Maldives, a quiet lodge on safari, or a boutique hideaway tucked in the mountains, a babymoon gives you space to reconnect, recharge, and celebrate this exciting new chapter together.

Island Honeymoons

An island honeymoon is pure escapism — sun-soaked days, crystal-clear waters, and evenings spent listening to the gentle lapping of the sea. It’s perfect for couples who want to unwind in style, whether that’s in a secluded overwater villa, a boutique beach resort, or a private island hideaway. Days are yours to fill with snorkelling, kayaking, or simply doing nothing at all, while evenings are made for cocktails at sunset and starlit dinners on the sand. An island honeymoon is the ultimate mix of romance, privacy, and unforgettable views.

What can I say….my son and myself had the most wonderful time in Kenya thanks to the first-class itinerary that Ben and Louise put together for us. We spoke with Ben many times to ensure he ‘got it right’. This was our 2nd visit to Kenya, and it certainly lived up to our expectations and memories. Nothing was too much trouble for all the staff; we cannot have been looked after any better. I would highly recommend Far and Wild; they are so knowledgeable and have personally visited the lodges and areas. We are already planning another visit, and we cannot wait.

I have just returned from the most amazing trip to Tanzania, booked with Far & Wild. Everything went so smoothly from the first time I spoke with them. The planning was great, the itinerary was perfect for us, and the lodges were amazing. We spent 10 nights with an amazing guide, travelling through Northern Tanzania and even got to see the migration, which was a lifetime ambition of mine. This wasn't our first safari, so we were nervous as to how it would compare, but it was spot on. I will certainly be using them again to book our next trip....we're thinking of a relaxing beach stay next time to get over the excitement of safari!

Just back from another amazing F&W organised trip to Namibia with the family (8 adults). Having been there before, Alistair tailored our trip to include our favourite locations and added a new one for us, which we loved.The quality of accommodation and guiding, activities, food and drinks was exceptional throughout. It was good value for the level of luxury we had.

We had a wonderful trip to São Tomé and Príncipe - a small island nation in the Gulf of Guinea with paradise (almost empty) beaches and jungle forest. It was all well organised by Far and Wild and we stayed at a great combination of different types of resorts/hotels. We really recommend this for those who want to experience a pristine destination with few other tourists and friendly and welcoming people. The islands also feel very safe. At Principe, there are no dangerous animals, snakes or whatever, and it was great to be able to hike in the jungle without being very conscious of where to put your hands and feet. Go before everyone else does!

Back home again, basking in the joys of a superb safari. Every aspect you arranged for us, including linking up with Mack Air and Wild Horizons locally to transport us. The choice of camps was ideally situated, comfortable, in good surroundings, and with excellent wildlife on the doorstep and throughout the wider country. The service staff in each looked after us very well, catering was excellent, and the game guides were professional, knowledgeable and helpful. You made us happy, and we recommend you to similar safari enthusiasts with confidence.

Far and Wild went above and beyond to make sure my trip to Zambia was special. I would definitely recommend them and their services to anyone wanting to travel to Africa.

Lovely holiday at the amazing Almanara on Galu beach, a beach like no other. Far and Wild excelled themselves from beginning to end of our holiday in beautiful Kenya.... What a country!,

Wow! These guys are amazing. Can’t recommend them highly enough. Friendly AND efficient! Sorted out our trip (last minute and lots of different family member needs, sorry!) in record time and everything worked like clockwork. Trip of a lifetime to the Masai Mara. Will be back (and use F&W again!)!
