Audley offer a Honeymoon Gift Service where couples invite their guests to contribute to their trip or pay for one of the extras included in the itinerary. The service is free to use and guests can contribute online, by telephone or by post.
Having decided on an itinerary with one of Audley's specialists the couple create their own personalised website, using whatever text and photos they like. The website can include details on the wedding and reception as well as the honeymoon itself. A secure account area allows the couple to make changes to the website and view contributions. Audley also supply a choice of honeymoon gift cards to send out to guests.
Audley have dedicated a large section of their website to honeymoons with ideas for different interests including safari honeymoons, beach honeymoons, cultural honeymoons and adventure honeymoons. In addition there is a section on which honeymoon is best for which season: www.audleytravel.com/honeymoons
Safari & Wildlife Honeymoons
While Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia and Botswana are still the most popular choices, Audley are finding that many couples are looking at Namibia and Borneo too as they can be more cost effective. For example a 15 day Borneo Adventure itinerary combining adventure, wildlife and the beach costs from £2,565 per person including flights, transfers and accommodation. It includes time in the colonial city of Kuching, a night in a tribal longhouse, seeing orang-utan at Semenggok, exploring Bako National Park and relaxation on the beaches of Gaya Island.
Beach Honeymoons
The Indian Ocean islands of Mauritius, the Seychelles and the Maldives continue to see the most honeymooners - with many couples choosing to combine the Maldives with culture-rich Sri Lanka. However more unusual beach options are also becoming popular with Fiji, for example, seeing an increase in bookings for 2013. A 14 day Taste of Fiji itinerary visiting the main island of Viti Levu and the stunning beach setting of the Mamanucas costs from £3,000 per person including return flights and transfers and 3 star accommodation.
Cultural Honeymoons
Japan is proving one of the more unusual destinations popular with honeymooners. Audley offer a range of tours including an 11 day Discover Japan tour combining the sights of Tokyo and Kyoto with time in the quiet Kiso Valley, travelling by bullet train throughout. This trip costs from £2,485 per person including return flights, train transfers and accommodation.
Adventure Honeymoons
Audley have plenty of suggestions for those wanting a more adventurous honeymoon. Destinations such as Costa Rica, New Zealand and Australia are always popular, as is Brazil. For example they suggest a 15 day Wild Brazil itinerary that takes in its wetlands, the Amazon rainforest and the vast Iguaçu Falls. It includes exploring the Pantanal by kayak and a torch-lit walk in the Amazon at night. It costs from £3,925 per person including all flights, transfers, accommodation and excursions.
