The Land Down Under

Snapshot_20090226_105419_copyIf you're anything like most people, the first thing that comes to mind when you hear Tasmania is...the Tasmanian Devil. And yes, while the little creature is pretty cute, it's only one of the many amazing draws to this small, heart-shaped island south of Australia. Here are a few other reasons you should consider a honeymoon down under:

  • The Landscape: Whether you're a beach couple, city folk or nature lovers, Tasmania has a setting for you. The East Coast is covered in white sand beaches set on turquoise waters; Hobart, the capital city, is a charming, seaside enclave full of historic sights and great restaurants; the western side of the island houses a World Heritage Area wilderness and boasts the cleanest air in the world.

  • The Wildlife: Tasmanian Devil aside, the island is home to tons of other incredible animals like kangaroos and platypuses, that you can see up close in their natural environments.

  • The Luxurious Escapes: From the super-indulgent, soon-to-be-opened Saffire to the standing camps in the Bay of Fires, your lodging will be unlike anything you've ever experienced before.

  • The Wine: The boutique wineries on the island produce some of the most delicious pinot noirs and cool climate wines in the world, perfect for toasting your new life together.
