10 Destinations for the Adventure Traveler

Adventure is everywhere, you just have to know where to look. Through my continued training as a travel agent, I have the opportunity to learn about so many destinations. Here are 10 destinations I’ve found that are perfect for adventure seekers.

1: Antarctica

When you think about adventure and exploration, you can’t help but think about Antarctica. Traveling to Antarctica is the pinnacle of exploration, from crossing the world's most treacherous sea to seeing pristine ecosystems. While trekking across glaciers is definitely adventurous, taking the polar plunge is considered a rite of passage.

2: Austria

Austria is definitely a destination for those adventures that love winter sports.  Take a bike ride, or Segway, down the rolling hills as you explore the wintery countryside, test your skills in snowshoeing, and tobogganing down mountainsides or you can even climb a frozen wall!

3: Belize

There are no shortages of adventurous opportunities in Belize with its array of wildlife, stunning coastlines, thick jungle, and world-famous reef. Belize's Barrier Reef is the second-largest in the world. Your trip can also include climbing through caves or exploring Mayan ruins.

4: Canada

Canada is our world's second-largest country, which means endless adventure opportunities. You can walk with polar bears, watch grizzly bears, and canoe in isolated lakes to watch moose. Not to mention, because Canada's coastline is the longest in the world, there's a plethora of coastal adventure!

5: Chile

Nestled snug between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains, Chile's Patagonia Park gives explorers endless opportunities when checking out Torres del Paine National Park. Check out the Atacama Desert, where you'll feel like you've landed on the moon while exploring geysers and salt-flats.

6: Costa Rica

Families traveling together love heading to Costa Rica for its gorgeous mix of animals, ecosystems, and ways for adventure-lovers to relish in them. From surfing schools to relaxing in hot springs, there's something for everyone. If you prefer staying on land, you can explore 28 national parks, go on canopy walks, and go ziplining.

7: Galapagos Islands

With its location 600 miles from Ecuador, animal lovers and outdoor adventurers feel like the Galapagos Islands are heaven on earth. You can explore Devil's Crown, an extinct volcanic cone near Floreana Island. Watch sea lions sunbathe on Gardner Bay's beach or check out the tortoises in Santa Cruz, and more!

8: Greenland

Greenland's outdoor activities, untouched landscapes, and indigenous culture tick off boxes for many adventure travelers. From hiking past herds of reindeer on the Arctic Circle Trail to kayaking among the Southern Fjord's icebergs, there's no shortage of adventurous activities in this country!

9: Guatemala

There are plenty of adventure opportunities in Guatemala. For example, you can take a one-hour hike up Volcano Pacaya or go overnight camping near Acatenango's summit. With the country featuring 30 volcanoes, endless wildlife watching and kayaking, adventure travelers won't have trouble finding fun things to do!

10: Iceland

While mainstream travelers flock to the country's most famous sites along the Golden Circle, there are plenty of other opportunities for adventurers to dig in their heels. No matter if you want to hike Iceland's wide-open spaces to become part of the land of fire and ice or snorkel between the European and North American continents, this country is the epitome of adventure.
