Honeymoon Destination: Alaska
Alaska honeymoons offer rest and relaxation, as well as plenty of action. Many people travel there to experience nature’s beauty is such a large place. There are many beautiful parks in Alaska: Wrangell-St. Elias National Park, Kenai Fjords National Park, and Denali National Park, to name a few. The Northern Lights are also a big draw and can be a very romantic and unique experience. People who have seen the aurora borealis in person say that pictures or videos just can’t compare to the majesty of seeing them in person. Before you go, make sure you read over the Northern Lights’ information and FAQs.Other activities include various day cruises and tours, even tours all the way up to remote Barrow. Barrow is the northernmost settlement in North America. Day tours here emphasize the traditional Eskimo customs and way of life. Dog sledding, eco-tours, and whale watching are also popular activites many Alaskan travelers want to experience.
There is quite a variety in lodging throughout all of Alaska. You’ll find your well known chain hotels, as well as inns, resorts, and bed and breakfasts. Since I think of inns and bed and breakfasts as more romantic than the mass produced franchise hotels, here are a couple romantic getaways perfect for a honeymoon. Juneau’s Alaska Wolf House Lodge is snug inside a cedar log home with open beams, skylights, and spectacular views of the sea and mountains. A professional chef is on the premises to make scrumptious breakfasts. King Salmon souffle, candied pecan waffles with cinnamon syrup, and Alaskan king crab quiche are just some of the menu’s temptations. While eating your breakfast overlooking the Gastineau Channel, you might even spot a whale or two. The Lodge also has a black bear they’ve nicknamed Molly, who lives behind the lodge on Mount Juneau. Because it’s so romantic and has a Jacuzzi for two, the Jack London Jacuzzi Suite is the choice of many honeymooners.
MSN named Pearson’s Pond Luxury Inn and Adventure Spa in Juneau #4 of the “World’s Most Romantic Hotel Destinations.” Located on a small lake and overlooking the Mendenhall Glacier, this cedar home offers rooms with sound proofing and fireplaces; some rooms have a Jacuzzi. The inn also offers concierge services to help you plan your day’s activities.
