Honeymoons are your chance to escape from the real world and spend some quality time with the one you love. For those who love animals almost as much as their new spouse, why not combine the two and try one of these unique animal-lover experiences? 1. Elephant Hills Experience, Thailand If you choose to go for the full on elephant experience you will get to fully interact with these magnificent creatures (even including feeding them!) Or choose from numerous adventure trips which include other exciting activities such as canoe safaris and jungle treks.

2. Swimming with Pigs, Bahamas Swimming with pigs just off the Exuma Islands is the ultimate in quirky honeymoon ideas. The pigs have recently received lots of press and obtained quite the 'celebrity status' in the Bahamas. Not only can you catch them sunning themselves on the golden sand but as soon as a boat comes in you'll witness the friendly creatures paddling away to greet the visitors.

All the sled tours take a beautiful scenic route and offer the perfect chance to witness the beauty of Alaska without the hard work of a snowy trek. Most of the tours include a chance to sit down by the warm fire afterwards with a hot drink and 'meet the team' (i.e. cuddle the gorgeous fluffy huskies) - any animal lovers dream.

The Discovery Cove in Orlando offers a dolphin interaction experience which includes a 30 minute swim with the dolphins as well as a dorsal fin tow ride back to the shore!

5. Horseback Riding, Iceland This one is the ultimate experience for all horse lovers. The volcanic landscape riding tour across Reykjavik offers sensational mountain and volcanic views and usually includes an informative introduction to the horses and riding stables. The ride is suitable for pretty much all skill levels so don't panic if you haven't had much horse riding experience. Just jump on and get ready to trot across the mountains!
