There are lots of tropical places around the world that could be good to visit in September or October. And some where it could make a difference whether it's going to be early September or late October.

Hawaii is good all year round.

If you have any other criteria, let me know and I'll see if I can think of somewhere to match.

Anyway, congratulations, whenever and wherever it's going to be!

While not tropical, late October around Salem, Massachusetts is a great spot if you're into that sort of thing.

Oktoberfest is during late September/early October, so Munich would be nice.

Thinking of warmer climes, the weather should still be nice in Morocco and Gibraltar. Gibraltar has great weather, great history, a decent exchange rate as the British pound is taking a beating, and Morocco is only a ferry ride away, with Casablanca being a little bit further away. It's also something different from typical honeymoon spots.

Another warm non-traditional honeymoon spot would be the Galapagos Islands, off the coast of Ecuador, where you could see Birds of Paradise and all kinds of other creatures unique to the islands.

I would recommend St. Lucia as an excellent Sept/Oct honeymoon destination. Only drawback: it will still be hurricane season, so that is certainly something to consider. Having honeymooned there myself though, I can say it is truly wonderful and has a lot to offer - hiking, beaches or just lounging around by a fancy pool sipping (very) fancy drinks!

For a tropical getaway you could go to the Bahamas. I have been there and its just gorgeous! All that blue water, you just can't beat the romantic atmosphere. While not tropical, but still on the beach, you could also go to Brugge, Belgium. Congrats on the future marriage and hope that the honeymoon is awesome!

Barcelona while not tropical is Mediterranean and has very nice weather. In September and October it isn't as crowded with tourists which is a plus. Autumn in Barcelona is beautiful and mild. Highs average 25 C (78 F) and lows about 17 C (62 F)The weather there is mild in general. And a gorgeous city to boot. Very romantic. And you can even catch the city's most important festival (La Merce) on the week of Sept 24. If festivals aren't your thing the city's gonna be pretty calm for the rest of the two months.

If we're talking about tropical places per se, the Caribbean is always an option but as was mentioned previously it is in the middle of the hurricane season. September/October is not only hurricane season in the Caribbean but it can also rain and flood for days at a time even if there isn't a hurricane. I don't recommend anywhere in the Caribbean for those two months. The Caribbean is good between December and July.

To avoid hurricanes and seek out beaches, go to the South Pacific, like Fij or the South Indian ocean (Seychelles, Mauritius).

Add: Look into the Canary Islands as well. They are nice. I haven't been there but my uncle is obsessed with Tenerife for scuba and kite boarding.

Do you guys love nature and adventure? If so, Dominica (not to be confused with the Dominican Republic) is incredible. It's located in the Caribbean, but it was voted "Most unspoiled island in the Caribbean" by National Geographic Traveler. You won't find much of the typical touristy Caribbean stuff here, but you will find amazingly beautiful scenery and beaches. The island has dozens of gorgeous waterfalls, rivers, and even a cool boiling lake. It's perfect for a honeymoon because it's so private and gorgeous. When you're not spending quality time together, you can go hiking, scuba diving, whale watching, and kayaking. The culture there is also very interesting. I recommend staying at the Jungle Bay resort & spa ( http://www.junglebaydominica.com ). Dominica was named one of the Times Online's "10 perfect Caribbean Islands". You can see the entire list here:
