They include shows such as The Blue Man Group, arguably one of the most iconic shows in Las Vegas. This group that performs at the Luxor Hotel and Casino will provide you with a perfect blend of music and comedy, which will keep you laughing all night long. Other shows to enjoy include the Cirque Du Soleil Zumanity Show and the Absinthe show.

Apart from the shows, there are a host of honeymoon activities to engage in. You can choose to see the renowned Bellagio Hotel fountain show where a new song is played every 15 minutes! Walk along the Las Vegas Strip, take a ride on the Higher Roller, or sample all the foods that this city has to offer.

In case you are a foodie couple, there are hundreds of restaurants and eateries around the city where you can sample palatable cuisines from different parts of the world.

When darkness falls in Las Vegas, this is when the fun begins. There are many classy bars where you can enjoy a drink or two as you dance to your favourite music all night long. In Vegas, the night never has to end!

Champagne

Whenever you want to visit France for your honeymoon, most blogs, magazines, and other sources of information will advise you to go to Paris, the city of love. This is the ultimate destination where you can explore top-notch museums, wander beautiful streets and parks, enjoy mouth-watering cuisines, and share a bottle of champagne with your loved one as you admire the city’s picturesque architecture.

However, you don’t have to tour Paris and leave thinking that you have exhausted all the fun that France has to offer. If what you need is bubbly romance and opulence, don’t leave without visiting Champagne.

Champagne is a renowned destination for its sparkling white wines, natural attractions, and cultural vibrancy. Unfortunately, it is one of the places that is often overlooked by honeymooners.

Endeavour to tour this place with your significant other, and it will certainly take your meaning of fun to a whole new level. Don't forget to visit France’s various tasting vineyards, and tour world-famous champagne houses such as Moet & Chandon, Ruinart, Taittinger, Krug, Veuve-Cliquot, and Bollinger. Obviously having a couple of glasses as you go, remember to eat as well!

During this romantic expedition, you will have a chance to taste prestigious champagnes and explore the magnificent underground world of antique cellars that are uniquely imprinted into a myriad of landscapes.

To ensure you get an unmatched experience in Champagne, hire a private guide who will make sure you get access to champagne makers and cellars who are normally inaccessible to the public.

Cape Town

Nothing will turn a simple honeymoon into an exciting, fun-filled and adventurous activity than a tour to Cape Town – one of the most sought-after destinations in Africa.

In this city, there are hundreds of romantic things to do. Firstly, your trip will not be complete without strolling through the Kirstenbosch Gardens. This is a stunning 528-hectare garden which has five out of the six South African biomes.

To prove your love to your partner, hold hands, and take a walk on the treetop canopy. Stroll through the huge fields of the garden as you enjoy the splendid views of Table Mountain.

Another thing you should not forget to do is to have a date night at the V&A Waterfront. This is the shining star in Cape Town, which attracts millions of visitors every year. There are lots of romantic things to do here, including strolling through the harbour, shopping, and sampling various artisanal foods.

Before leaving the city, make sure you take a tour and experience the Table Mountain. You can get to the mountain via a cable car, or you can as well opt for a wonderful hike. In addition, you can take a helicopter tour and enjoy the beauty of this natural wonder from the skies.

Cape Town is also the perfect destination to go for a safari and interact with the African Wild. Some of the National Parks you should check out include the Table Mountain, West Coast, Agulhas, and Tankwa Karoo National Parks.

Orlando

Orlando is an action-packed destination for couples seeking a memorable honeymoon. This is the city where you can put a spin on your date night and get a romantic cooking class that will instil culinary skills you can use to cook palatable dishes at home.

Additionally, you will get a chance to see your relationship souring to greater heights by riding on a hot air balloon. This is the activity that will give you a view of Florida that you cannot get anywhere else. From the skies, you will see all the attractions Orlando has to offer, including orange groves, theme parks, wetlands, and forests. As soon as you land, you will be treated with a champagne toast to celebrate your unique experience.

As you prepare to go to Disney Land and tour the Universal studios, it’s worth it while you are still at Orlando airport to rent your honeymoon car. You can then leisurely drive yourself to Disneyland and a make a pit stop at The Wheel, making your honeymoon memories 400 ft. above the ground. The Wheel at ICON Park will make this possible. 

This 400 ft. wheel offers various packages, and the one you need to select for your honeymoon is the Romance Capsule. This is a sunset flight that comes with rose petal décor, chocolates, and drinks. It offers couples with a gentle spin and delivers tremendous views in all directions.

Don’t leave the city before you unleash your inner child and take a tour around Walt Disney World. Opt for a guided tour and choose the packages you believe will provide the best fun for you and your partner. Good luck!
