Zika-free tropical honeymoon in October?

Check the cdc website first to narrow location

I just looked at the map on the CDC's website. Literally the only tropical locations without Zika risk are Hawaii, Martenique, Guadeloupe, Chile and Uruguay. Everywhere else in the Caribbean/Mexico/South America has a risk.

If you get a good deal on flights Hawaii is a great option. I wouldn't say it's "affordable" but that's where we went and for 10 days we probably spent about $5k-6k including flights/hotel/car rental and all food/activities.

Bermuda is also zika free (I asked the same question about two weeks ago)

Second Bermuda. We were going to have a DW there initially. October is the end of their peak season, so prices are more reasonable too.

Good call! I didn't even check out that part of the globe haha.

I’ve been to two Zika locations in the past year and did not have any problems with bugs and bites. I’m sure with bug spray, you’d be totally fine. I had a bigger mosquito issues back home than in the tropical locations.

View Quoted Comment The reason we want to avoid zika is that it's dangerous for unborn babies. We want to start trying for kids soon after our wedding and the virus can be infectious for up to 6 months. So not ideal in our situation.

We are in the same boat and are going to Bermuda!
