Where to go for honeymoon that doesn’t absolutely fuck the local economy and infrastructure?

My partner and I are getting married in June 2025, and want to take our honeymoon sometime in July/August. He is a teacher, so while we could go at any time of year, technically, summer is obviously the easiest. We are trying to plan our honeymoon, and it's not going well for us. He's a high school teacher and about to finish his master's, and I work a standard 9-5 while taking prerequisite classes for graduate school, and we're both expending so much time and energy on planning this wedding. He wanted tropical, I wanted anywhere where I won't boil alive and have to plan a full itinerary. I want to rot in luxury and not think about or be responsible for anything for a week and a half.

He wanted to go to Hawaii, I said absolutely not. I've heard countless things about how the tourism industry and corporate development and how the natural resource of Hawaii are actively being diverted away from the indigenous people (you know, the folks who actually LIVE there) and towards hotels, resorts, and the like so tourists can enjoy themselves. This is so beyond gross, and I want nothing to do with it.

Then, we landed on an Alaskan cruise-tour. Saw a bunch of TikToks about it, it was semi-affordable with Costco Travel, and it mixes having a guided tour of natural landscape with rotting on a small cruise ship with no children and beautiful scenery. Sounded absolutely amazing, I'm all in. Then, as I'm looking on Reddit for things to do in Ketchikan and similar places in Alaska, the comment sections are filled to the brim with local Alaskans who are beyond pissed off with the cruising industry and how it's destroying local infrastructure and how they are powerless to the Cruise^TM gods. I want nothing to do with that nonsense either!! Like, damn it!

Suggestions? Thoughts? Comments, concerns? This is beyond frustrating and I want to have a good, relaxing time without contributing to destroying a place that's meant to be sacred and beautiful. Please help!
