Your honeymoon should be one of the best vacations of your life. That means instead of booking a week in the same Tuscan town you go to every summer, you can go all out and book something truly remarkable and unique.

With that in mind, here are the top active honeymoons across the globe for adventurous Bookers.

Diving, Malaysia

Spend your honeymoon swimming with turtles off the Malaysian Sipadan Island. This tropical island is covered with uninhabited jungle and visitor numbers are restricted to 120 per day, so the marine life is relatively free from human interference. Silvery cyclones of fish spiral in schools around you as you plunge into the water and reef sharks, octopuses, stingrays and turtles all congregate near the coral. The best time to dive is March to October, when the dry season provides extra clear water.

Cube Bed Station has highly-rated accommodations in Semporna, with wooden sleeping cubbies and industrial decor, and Bookers can easily get to Sipadan Island from here.

Hiking, Sweden

With so many national parks in the capital city of Stockholm, romantic walks with views of fjords and mountains make Sweden an accessible and uncommon honeymoon destination. In addition to romantic walks, Bookers can dog-sled in the frozen wildernesses to the north or catch the Northern Lights depending on the time of year. At Tyresta National Park—just one bus ride from Stockholm—you can build campfires and set up a tent for the night surrounded by pine-scented, peaceful forests.

Bookers can start their honeymoon in true romantic style, sleeping in an Art Deco four-poster bed at Browallshof Hotel.

Surfing, Hawaii

Whether you and your partner are expert or amateur surfers, Hawaii has everything you could need for an active yet tranquil honeymoon. Book yourself a bungalow perched above the water and sip coconut cocktails during your surfing downtime. For the most daring newlyweds, moonlight surfing in Waikiki is a popular local pastime and is said to be a life-altering experience. You’ll nee

d to be a pretty experienced surfer, but even those with less experience will enjoy seeing right to the sandy sea floor when the moon is full, the sky is clear and the sea is lit up by surfers holding glow sticks.
Marine Surf Waikiki Vacation Studios was highly rated by Bookers and it’s just a short walk from the beach.

Sailing, Greece

The Greek Islands are a favorite honeymoon destination, but instead of limiting yourself to visiting just one, take an active island-hopping sailing honeymoon instead. You can charter a yacht and crew or just navigate the boat yourselves as you sail between whitewashed villages and vineyards. Find off-the-beaten-path sandy coves and anchor your yacht on your own private patch of sea. Plus, the distance between islands is relatively small in Greece, so there’s no pressure to cover a lot of ground at one time. Your adventure can be as active or relaxing as you choose.

Bookers can stay at Compass Villa while on the island of Santorini and spend time in the jacuzzi on a sun terrace overlooking the island’s caldera.

Horseback Riding, Bolivia

Galloping on a horse in the red, dusty Bolivian Andes is definitely the kind of experience an adventurous honeymooner should have. The small town of Tupiza is the gateway to horseback riding tours in the region. It’s a region characterized by canyons, ravines, and mountains, and allegedly served as a climactic backdrop when Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid met their fate. And if you want to up the ante, you can also take a “triathlon” tour, involving horse, jeep and mountain bike.

Book Vargas Hotel in Tupiza as a starting point for exploring the Bolivian Andes and for its highly-rated, friendly service.
