Instead of postponing the honeymoon because you have small children, take them with you to Jamaica.
A honeymoon getaway with the kids can be just as romantic. You and your family are sure to be treated to the finest experience and world-class hospitality services during your stay.
Also, you'll find plenty of opportunities to have some alone time with your spouse as the kids get busy with all the fun activities on the island.
So, what will your honeymoon itinerary in Jamaica look like with the kids?
Here are 13 kid-friendly honeymoon activities that newlyweds can do in Jamaica.
Hike a waterfall
If your family booked a stay in the resort town of Ocho Rios, make a plan to visit the world-famous water park, Dunn's River Falls which stands 6,000 feet tall above the sea.
In addition to marveling at its natural beauty, this water hike is a great opportunity to bond with your spouse and the kids as you make your way, hand in hand, up to the peak.
Be sure to wear water shoes as the limestone rocks that line the falls are slippery.
Explore Jamaica underwater
Snorkeling is possibly one of the most intimate kid-friendly honeymoon activities you can do in Jamaica.
The entire family can take the plunge and interact with the friendly marine animals that inhabit the warm waters surrounding Jamaica.
The best snorkeling spot on the north coast is Doctor’s Cave Beach for experienced swimmers.
If the kids are new to this water activity, try Negril because the waters are calmer and clear, and people of all ages can enjoy snorkeling.
If preferred, a person can snorkel out further from shore but because the waters are harder to manage it is recommended to hire a qualified snorkeling guide.
Eat, play, zipline & repeat
At the fantastic Chukka Good Hope estate in Falmouth, the entire family will certainly have an incredible time.
From ziplining through the trees to playing at the water park, and roaming the property occupied by exotic animals, you're sure to enjoy every minute of this experience.
And when you need a minute to relax, head to the snack counter and bar.
Frolic at the beach
Spend a few days splish-splashing in the blue waters at any of the beaches on the island.
Fortunately for your family, your vacation is on an island so a beach is always a stone's throw away from where you're staying.
Slip on your cutest swimwear, protect your skin with sun tan, walk with loose change for snacks, and let the sun, sand, and sea do the rest.
Among the best beaches in Jamaica are Seven Mile Beach in Negril, Doctor's Cave Beach Club in Montego Bay, Puerto Seco Beach in Discovery Bay, James Bond Beach in Oracabessa, Frenchman's Cove in Port Antonio and Burwood Beach in Falmouth.
Tour a haunted mansion
A tour of the Rose Hall Great House is a great family excursion to include on your kid-friendly honeymoon itinerary.
This former home of the infamous "White Witch of Rose Hall", Annie Palmer, is believed to be haunted by her spirit and those of her former slaves.
The mansion tour costs USD$10 for each child 12 years or younger, and USD$25 for each adult.
Play in the rainforest
Your "family moon" in Jamaica isn't complete until you visit Mystic Mountain Rainforest Adventures in Ocho Rios.
At this adventure park, there is something for every member of the family to do.
The adventure starts at the chair lift shuttle, Sky Explorer, that takes you to the main site. While you're suspended in the air with your spouse, you can take a few gorgeous photos with the beautiful Ocho Rios Bay as your background.
When you get to the main site, choose from a variety of rides including a waterslide, zip lines, and a bobsled ride.
For the little ones, the infinity pool, culture exhibit, and nature trail will certainly keep them occupied.
Face off with crocodiles
The most incredible eco-tour on the island that makes for a great family excursion is the Black River Safari.
The boat ride up the longest navigable river in Jamaica grants you and the kids the opportunity to come face to face with exotic animals such as crocodiles that inhabit the mangroves that line the Black River.
Although there are many tour operators, J. Charles Swaby is one of the oldest. He has a mini “museum” as well as petting areas where visitors can hold baby crocodiles.
Dinner on the ocean deck
Evening dining at Pier One restaurant and bar in Montego Bay, gazing at the setting of the sun and the glistening ocean is easily a romantic experience.
It's a kid-friendly restaurant that strikes the perfect balance of entertainment and food and drink menu options for the entire family.
While your little ones order from the designated kid menus, you and your spouse can order cocktails at the bar to enjoy with your meals.
You can also expect live stage performances on select nights. Wednesday night's entertainment lineup includes a talent contest.
Stay at a family all-inclusive
A stay at a family-friendly all-inclusive resort in Jamaica is a packaged deal you can't miss.
You'll notice that the daily itinerary for your little ones is set before you even put a foot on the plane, which gives you and your spouse time for romantic dates, on the property.
Let the kids let loose at the water parks and game rooms, while you and your partner book a couple's massage, go kayaking, or sunbathe on the beach together.
Also, most all-inclusive family resorts feature nightly entertainment shows and open buffets so the entire family never runs out of fun things to do.
Check out the five best family-friendly all-inclusive resorts in Jamaica.
Swim with dolphins
Dolphin Cove in Ocho Rios, Discovery Bay, and Montego Bay will welcome your entire family. Get the unique chance to swim with dolphins, sting rays and sharks at this amazing animal sanctuary.
Be sure to clear your camera roll because you'll spot several "photo and video-worthy" moments.
Get lost at Konoko
If you're in Ocho Rios and your kids may be too young to manage the Dunn's River Falls climb, take the family to Konoko Falls, located a few meters outside of the town of Ocho Rios.
This attraction also includes a nature trail of exotic birds, snakes, and iguanas.
Bath at a natural spa
Jamaica is home to a number of natural mineral springs that boast healing capabilities.
The heated, mineral-infused waters present a relaxing environment for you and the kids to take a few dips as you all free your bodies of aches, pains, and other discomforts.
The best mineral spas in Jamaica are the Milk River Bath and Spa in Clarendon, Rockfort Mineral Bath in Kingston, and Bath Springs in St. Thomas.
Swim in the luminous lagoon
This tour is only done at night so you may need to book a nanny to supervise the kids for a few hours. Taking this evening cruise to the magical ‘Luminous Lagoon’ on a starry night is certainly romantic.
The mixed waters of the sea and Martha Brae River change from warm to cold, and fish seem to glow as they dart past you in the clouds of bioluminescent microorganisms that seem green or blue when disturbed.
Book the tour with Glistening Waters in Falmouth.
