Start marriage out with an adventure by hitting the trails for your honeymoon

Why it’s fun

Sometimes the best places to kiss can only be found on two feet.

Best Bet Destination

Great trails can be found all over the U.S., from coastal trails along the Pacific to the Great Smoky Mountains. But for a little something special, head for the Mediterranean. A new Vesuvius to Etna trip from REI Adventures takes you up Mt. Vesuvius, Stromboli and Mt. Etna (all iconic volcanic peaks), with layovers in the impossibly romantic Southern Italy cities of Naples, Amalfi and Positano, and the isles of Sicily and Capri.

“But truly adventurous lovers should hike Kilimanjaro!” says Cori Ready, co-founder of The Adventure School, a Seattle-based wedding & event planning company. “Every marriage should start with an epic story…” Take on Africa’s highest summit together, and then reward yourselves with a lion-spotting safari through the Serengeti.
