Thailand or adventure honeymoon (wedding in July)?
Looking for some good ideas on an adventerous honeymoon (my FI doesn't like sitting on the beach and doind nothing for more than a day or two). We were thinking Thailand, but I have been doing research and it seems to be monsoon season when we want to go (wedding is July 20th). We don't want to go to Hawaii or the Caribbean (have been to both), and want to go somewhere far away, since we are taking 2 weeks off (and might not have the opportunity to take that much time off from work for a long time!). We want a little bit of beach/city/and adventure in the place we go (are willing to travel to a few countries that are close together, or different cities in the same country). Any suggestions??
Thanks!!

<div>Costa Rica might be a good choice. It has the beachy low key thing, but also has jungles full of animals, and a volcano, and coffee plantations, and horse-back riding, and more animals. </div><div>
</div><div>We're going to Colombia & Venezuela. That'll have hiking, going out on boats to stilt villages to see sheet lightning storms (and monkeys). We're going scuba diving and to a cocaine factory (where they remove the drug from coca leaves so they can be sold to food companies). </div><div>
</div><div>Thailand also sounds great and is on my list. If you haven't been to Africa consider that! Places like South Africa are...safe enough for adventurous types and offer AMAZING scenery (and animals). I've spent some time in Kenya which was also incredible. </div>

This is exactly what I was going to suggest. We went to CR for our HM for your exact reasons, R &R with a side of adventure. in one week we were able to horseback ride, volcano tour, mud bath in the volcanic pits, rainforest hike to a few amazing waterfalls, zipline and sit on the beach with a good book and so much more! Oh and for animals we saw sea turtles (nesting on a beach!) monkeys, koadas (sp?) either gators or crocs (cant remember) herons and others I am forgetting right now.
I can't wait to go back again to explore more! we were on the pacific side and next time I want to see the other side.
