Where to Go and When

Planning a honeymoon can often be overwhelming, with a near limitless number of possibilities. One method to help you choose the perfect destination is to factor in the type of climate you’d like to experience on your honeymoon, and the time of year your honeymoon will take place. This will help narrow down the number of possible options during each period.

With that in mind, here’s a brief glimpse at some popular destinations throughout the world, and what to expect from their climate during specific months.

March and April

In many parts of the world this is a time of climatic change. Temperatures are at a premium in many parts of the world during this period, including the American states of Florida? and Hawaii. South Africa is also very temperate at this time of year, as it leaves its hot summer months behind. Cruises throughout the Caribbean or the Bahamas are also ideal at this time of year.
