After tying the knot, you have probably set aside a well-padded budget and ample time to devise the ultimate slate of honeymoon activities with the love of your life. Naturally, your honeymoon destination will dictate the activities to include in your honeymoon itinerary. Honeymoons are a high-stakes trip for couples. They present the perfect opportunity to celebrate, bond, relax, and reflect on a newlywed couple’s union. As such, getting the perfect destination ultimately contributes to building a solid foundation for a lifelong commitment.

If you are looking for an intimate, romantic, and luxurious getaway, the Florida Keys are the ideal honeymoon destination for you. Your “I Dos” could take you to paradise right here on earth. Touted as the very archetype of an exotic tropical paradise, couples can cocoon in the perfect love nest of their choice against a backdrop of brilliant red and orange sunsets over dreamy stretches of soft white sands and clear turquoise waters.

When planning your honeymoon, timing is very crucial. The Florida Keys have a warm climate year-round, with very hot and humid summers. If you are trying to avoid busy crowds, it is best to plan your Florida Keys honeymoon in the early spring or fall. There are particularly more people exploring the Florida Keys from November to April for the holidays and President’s Week.

With 800 small islands, newlywed couples have plenty of options for activities and accommodation. Most budgets can be accommodated, although prices are higher during the winter as people escape to destinations with warmer weather.

Sights and activities for a Florida Keys honeymoon

Dry Tortugas

If you want to feel like two castaways in a paradise far-removed from the mainland, hop on a seaplane to Dry Tortugas, 70 miles from Key West. Dry Tortugas National Park is home to Fort Jefferson, a lesser-known historical wonder and the largest masonry structure in the Americas. It spans over 100 square miles, with seven small islands surrounded by beautiful blue waters. Dry Tortugas National Park is accessible only by boat or seaplane, and couples can enjoy natural wonders above and below the water’s surface.

Key West Light House Museum

There’s no better way to view the beauty of the Florida Keys than on the topmost level of the iconic Key West lighthouse with a 360-degree view of the city and the ocean. Climb the 88 winding steps to the top of one of the few lighthouses open to the public in the US, and explore and learn about the past in your partner’s company. With a panoramic view and the former keeper’s memories frozen in time, couples leave with a renewed sense of history and what the future holds.

Eco tours

Embark on an exciting eco-tour guided by a marine biologist and explore the natural waters of the Florida Keys. Get a chance to swim with dolphins, turtles, sea lions, or even sharks and spot colorful marine life and untouched coral reefs. Snorkel in clear waters, explore mangrove islands, and unwind on a secluded beach as you enjoy a Florida Keys sunset.

Water adventures

The feeling of flying sky high above gorgeous waters with the love of your life is unmatched. Enjoy the expansive and breathtaking views of the ocean and coastline, or circumnavigate the Florida Keys waters on a jet ski, then find your legs and hop on a boat for deep-sea fishing. There are plenty of water adventures for couples, with experienced professionals to guide you through each one.
