What Kind Of Travel Lover Are You?

What do you love doing most with your partner?

Is it talking about animals? Tucking into delicious food? Soaking up ancient history? Experiencing new cultures? Stargazing? Marveling at architecture or landscape?

Whatever your travel love language, match what makes you tick with the experience of a lifetime in these heart-stopping locations.

Animal Lovers: Galápagos Islands

If you love wildlife, you’ve found it in the Galápagos. Baby sea lions swim up to your face mask and blow bubbles for you. The only warm water penguins in the world dart under your sea kayak. Blue-footed boobies hop down from their perch to study you. A pod of sea turtles swims by. And the giant land tortoises? They’re close enough to touch. It’s why AFAR magazine named our Galápagos tours “Best Wildlife Encounter” in the world.

Sunset lovers: Joshua Tree

Watch as glittering golden hour turns into a technicolor Golden State sunset, silhouetting the Joshua Trees, desert dunes and dramatic rock formations all around you. Stay up all night for some of the world’s best stargazing, or hit the hay and wake up early for a hot air balloon sunrise.

Thrill lovers: Costa Rica

You’ll explore a cloud forest, walk the slopes of Arenal Volcano and zipline in the cloud forest canopy. From your luxury hotel overlooking the Pacific Ocean in Manuel Antonio Park, you’ll take naturalist-guided walks, go kayaking and taste the brew at a coffee plantation. In Costa Rica, it’s all pura vida – literally translating to the “pure life,” the popular terms is a way of life that celebrates no worries, no stress and a positive outlook.

Starlight lovers: Alaska

Wrap up warm and chase the northern lights and Milky Way through Alaska‘s velvet night skies, as you journey together through the Portage Valley, Talkeetna, and Denali. Your Alaskan guide will take you to secret spots with the best viewings. By day, husky sled with Iditarod racers, walk on dazzling glaciers, and spot wolves and foxes.

Seafood lovers: Maine

You’ll visit our friends’ oyster farm in Edgecomb during your tour of Maine & Acadia, just in time for lunch. Later, you’ll learn which wines go best with which seafood at another friends’ Lincolnville winery. And the seafood feasting doesn’t end there, with gourmet picnics and meals in Maine’s best restaurants in Penobscot Bay, Mount Desert Island and more.

Exotic lovers: Morocco

You will on this Morocco trip. With visits to the Medina of Fes, oasis walks, kasbah and palace hotels, cedar forested mountains, the souks of Marrakesh and more, Morocco definitely hits all the right notes for one of the most romantic vacations ever.

Landscape lovers: Grand Canyon, Bryce & Zion

The Grand Canyon, Bryce and Zion national parks showcase some of nature’s most staggering sculpture work. Look over the lunar landscape of Grand Canyon, then feel like you’ve landed on Mars among Bryce’s bright orange hoodoos. In Zion, witness the sunset over Watchman Mountain and walk the fabled narrows with your local guide.

Architecture lovers: Portugal

Portugal has more regal grandeur than any other country we know. Experience the rich imperial landmarks of Lisbon and Porto, explore 8,000-year-old Neolithic stone formations and take in the sights from a traditional Portuguese Rabelo boat. For something a little different, explore the region on a river cruise on the Douro River.

Scenery lovers: Iceland

Iceland is an extraordinary destination for lovers of spectacular scenery. Think waterfalls, glaciers, black sand beaches and lava fields covered with insanely springy green spongy moss. For every ice cave, there’s a geothermal pool. The northern lights curtain the night sky. Activities range from tectonic snorkeling to horseback riding, spectacular coastal and countryside walks, to puffin watching.

Nature lovers: Chile

Looking for something a little different on your romantic vacations? So much awesome nature can be found in Chile – a splendid thing to enjoy with a loved one. The Andes, Osorno Volcano and the wilds of Patagonia – not to mention penguins and wild guanacos (a native animal similar to a llama). Chilean civilization is fun, too, from a gaucho lamb barbeque to lush Maipo Valley vineyards and Santiago.

Food lovers: the Amalfi Coast

A fantastic week in the Amalfi coast will bring you and your loved one closer. You’ll cook in a cliffside kitchen and with a top Positano chef, taste the wine and limoncello, and walk the dreamy streets of Capri and Ravello. You’ll explore the ancient walkways of Pompeii and see the town from the top of Mt. Vesuvius.

History lovers: Cuba

Experience remarkable exposure to Cuban culture and local life on a trip that will immerse you in 500 years of Cuban history, from 15th century Trinidad to 17th century Cienfuegos, midcentury Bay of Pigs to the capital in Havana.

Wine lovers: Bordeaux and the Dordogne Valley

France is the ideal destination for lovers. Start in St. Emilion’s legendary vineyards for romantic wine tastings. Then head off to the lesser-known but surprisingly good vineyards of the Dordogne to wander castle-studded river valleys, go truffle hunting and see ancient cave paintings.
