For our honeymoon and our 1st anniversary we went on Carnival Cruises. Both times we went in May. On the first we stopped in Saint Thomas, Martinique (very poor), Barbados and Aruba (found it too American and too windy). Barbados was HEAVEN! We wanted to go back there for our one year but we found the cruise to be much more economical (Barbados is very expensive). Saint Thomas (about 10 minute boat ride from St. John) was very beautiful. The beaches were amazing. They also have a lot of shopping there. I think most people stay in Saint Thomas and go over to Saint John, as the island is very small and if I remember correctly, full of rain forest (which sounds like what you are looking for). I would definitely go back to St. Thomas. I seem to remember some excursions to Saint John’s involving horseback riding.On our 1st anniversary we wanted to do something a little more exciting so we did an "exotic" itinerary. We went to Grand Cayman, Costa Maya (made for cruise ships) Cozumel, and Belize. Nothing really exotic about any of them except for Belize.  In Belize we took a bus to the rainforest, where we went cave tubing. We hiked for about an hour (yes it was very hot and humid) carrying our tubes. Then we got in the water (freezing!!) with our little lights on our heads and tubed right through these huge caves. We came out the other side and just lazily drifted through the forest. It was absolutely amazing, my favorite part of the trip! We didn't drive past the beach, which is supposed to be awesome and I heard that they have one of the largest coral reefs in the world. That being said I didn't see any nice resorts or really nice areas. It looked kind of poor and a bit grubby. I saw ads for resorts that were like tree houses, and they looked like the Swiss Family Tree house in Disney. I don’t know first hand what the beached look like.I have a friend who went to Hawaii on their honeymoon and it was ridiculously expensive but very beautiful. They spent $50 on two hamburgers for lunch, and they had to spend around $30 a day for breakfast.I think most of these places have nice beaches and snorkeling, horse backing riding and other excursions to do. I think what you choose will really depend on how much adventure you want to have pared with how nice of a resort you want to stay at.We have lots of pictures of both of our trips if you are interested. Hope I helped!</blockquote>
