GO WILD ON YOUR HONEYMOON ADVENTURE
June 18, 2003
Seattle, WA > Starting a new life together
is more than acquiring household appliances.
Seattle-based eco-tourism company Wildland
Adventures announces a wedding
gift registry program that is full
of adventure, literally. With gifts ranging
from a hike into the Amazon rainforest
to a romantic overnight in a jungle hideaway,
couples simply go online and choose one
of Wildland’s featured honeymoon
adventures including Costa Rica, the Galapagos
Islands and Tanzania, or design their
own custom honeymoon itinerary to any
one of the company’s other destinations
including Africa, Alaska, Central and
South America, Turkey, New Zealand and
more.
After the honeymoon adventure is selected,
a gift registry can be made available
online for family and friends, listing
items by activity, accommodation and transportation.
Gifts include everything from romance
to adventure including a night in a secluded
beach casita to a day of whitewater rafting.
Items such as an open-air massage in a
tropical breeze, an overnight in a tree-top
blind in Africa, or a soak in a private
natural hot springs make the gift giving
fun and the couple’s honeymoon unforgettable.
With just a click of a button, guests
can print out the registry, view the items
and quantity needed to complete the package,
fill in their gift selection and return
it to Wildland Adventures. Prices for
each item typically range from just $15
to $150. To view a sample gift registry,

and private, thatched-roofed bungalows

sultry comfort newlyweds seek on a tropical
nature honeymoon retreat. Prices start

new life together with a passage of discovery

On a Wildland African
honeymoon safari, couples explore
premier parks and game reserves of Eastern
or Southern Africa with their own private
professional guide and safari crew. In

with nature at the Ngorongoro Crater and
on the vast plains of the Maasai Mara-Serengeti
ecosystem, where they will observe spectacular
wildlife while learning about African
ecology and Maasai cultural traditions
by day. By night, accommodations are in
deluxe, full service camps and premier
ecolodges offering the finest cuisine,
