Couples with a taste for adventure are invited to relax and disconnect as they set sail on Ecoventura's MV Origin – blending luxury amenities with environmental sustainability. The intimate 20-passenger yacht sails through the Galapagos Islands for an unforgettable adventure. 7-night itineraries include daily excursions led by certified naturalists and optional snorkel, kayak and hiking tours. Passengers are brought face-to-face with exotic wildlife via daily excursions through the archipelago's diverse islands. Wildlife wanders freely and almost fearlessly throughout the Galapagos, so you may find yourself swimming with sea turtles, sun bathing with sea lions and face-to-face with the famous blue-footed booby.

Couples seeking romance and adventure, look no further than the Las Lagunas Boutique Hotel, located in Peten Jungle – just minutes away from the Mayan ruins at Tikal, Uaxactun and Yaxha. Adventure seeking couples will be excited to know that Las Lagunas offers safari-like adventures from daily ATV tours to encounter endangered species, boat rides to Monkey Island to meet-and-greet wild, friendly monkeys, and even feed them fruits and vegetables for breakfast, and guided hikes through the historic temples of Guatemala. Other eco-adventure activities include trekking, bird watching trails, bicycling, and kayaking excursions surrounded by gorgeous views of nature.

Couples headed to Cancun looking for a more thrilling itinerary than sipping margaritas by the pool can plan the ultimate adventure while staying at the CasaMagna Marriott Cancun Resort. The property is within driving distance from the natural limestone pools that dot the Yucatan Peninsula, which are perfect for cliff jumping, snorkeling, and hiking, and have long been celebrated for their healing qualities. The historic Mayan ruins of Tulum, and the captivating Chichen Itza (one of the seven wonders of the world) are also a quick drive away – so couples can easily check these historic ancient sites off their bucket lists. Lastly, every May through September, couples staying at CasaMagna Marriott Cancun can embark by boat to snorkel alongside the Mexican-Caribbean's magnificent gentle giants – whale sharks. Though they measure up to 40 feet long and weigh in at 15 tons, whale sharks feed exclusively on plankton and are totally harmless to humans.

Take your significant other on the adventure trip of a lifetime and admire the Northern Lights in Sweden. The spectacular light show appears in the beginning of September and continues to the end of March; but to really catch a good glimpse, make sure you're catching them on a cold winter night when the sky is clear. Places to view the spectacle include Abisko National Park and the small villages Porjus and Jukkasjarvi.

Couples looking to go beyond the typical Caribbean destinations can find a wealth of adventure on this 11-night Panama Cruise by MSC Cruises.

Take your significant other to Portugal, a country full of gorgeous scenery, year-round amazing weather, ancient sites, incredible landscapes, and plenty of adrenaline pumping fun. Try a new watersport, hop on a sea cave tour in the Algarve and even take your chances on one of the world's scariest cliff dives. Also make sure to venture out to the Paiva River, one of the most popular rivers for whitewater rafting in Portugal.

If you and your significant other love national parks, look no further than Spain. For instance, Ordesa National Park offers you the opportunity to go caving, rock climbing, hiking, horseback riding, and canyoning. Other adventures to embark on include horseback riding, sea caving, and snorkeling.
