Places to go for adventure honeymoons

Couples who love the outdoors and long for out of the ordinary experiences will also appreciate adventure honeymoons more than the conventional boutique hotel experiences. When thinking of adventure honeymoons some people immediately get images of rock climbing, caving, and bungee jumping. Fortunately not all adventure honeymoons involve extreme sports for people who don’t like pushing themselves to the edge. Since honeymoons should have at least a touch of romanticism, places such as Cousine Island in the Indian Ocean fit the profile better. Couples will stay in luxury villas overlooking the ocean only metres from the sea. Since only a few people can be accommodated at a time, privacy can also be assured. Adventures such as forest hikes, snorkelling, yacht cruises to nearby islands, deep sea game fishing, and scuba diving which can all be pre-arranged as well as turtle watching and conservation projects, make Cousine Island perfect for adventure honeymoons.

Eco tourism Seychelles

Eco tourism Seychelles has over the years become the main source of income for many of the 115 Seychelles islands mostly because the Seychelles group of islands has the most awesome fauna and flora not found anywhere else. A wide variety of turtles can be found in the Seychelles and if you stay at a private eco tourism Seychelles island such as Cousine, you will have ample opportunity to come close to animals such as the hawksbill turtles and the giant tortoises roaming on the island. Unlike many other holiday destinations, the eco tourism Seychelles island of Cousine is focussed solidly on conservation. Caring for nature is not a by product of tourism at the island, but the main focus.
