Alaska Honeymoon

An Alaska honeymoon is the perfect choice for outdoorsy couples. With a gorgeous landscape that’s filled with mountains, glaciers and ice fields, couples will have endless of outdoor activities, (like hiking, kayaking and skiing) to choose from. Nature lovers will also love an Alaska honeymoon because the state is known for its abundant wildlife and iconic Northern Lights. Along with its stunning scenery and natural beauty, Alaska also has a variety of  museums and cultural centers to check out. So, if you’re an active couple looking for a destination with jaw-dropping views and natural beauty, then we suggest planning an Alaska honeymoon.

All in all, an Alaska honeymoon offers a truly unique American experience and will certainly make for a memorable trip of a lifetime.

When to Go

The best and most popular time for an Alaska honeymoon is during the summer from late May to mid-August. During this time the weather is the most favorable, since temperatures stay in the high 70s during the day and then drop to the 60s at nighttime. If you’re looking for winter activities and hope to brave the cold during your Alaska honeymoon, then we suggest visiting from December to March.
