The 3 best destinations for an unforgettable adventure vacation
Although it’s tough to narrow our list down to only 3 places, we are sure that the following destinations will feed your dreams and give you confidence in traveling. So come and enjoy a unique adventure vacation!
Pokhara (Nepal)
Activities in Pokhara only take place between September and November, where you can take boat rides and engage in water sports on Lake Phewa, the largest lake in Nepal. You can also book a horseback ride on the shores of the lake, which gives you contact with nature, not to mention priceless memories.
Any adrenaline lover will be excited to know that paragliding is common in Pokhara. We recommend you ask your concierge or local guide to recommend you to a qualified adventure agency that can help you book your travel itinerary!
Gorgona Island (Colombia)
Gorgona Island is one of the 59 protected areas of the Gorgona National Natural Park system. This beautiful island is one of the best destinations for diving in the Pacific, and has unparalleled marine biodiversity. It also has coral formations where dolphins, sperm whales, and humpback whales can be frequently found.
The months of July to October are the best time to enjoy an adventure vacation in Gorgona Island, because the weather is warm, but rainfall is low. Most importantly, it’s humpback whale season!
We recommend you pack a bathing suit, comfortable clothes, a rashguard, a hat, and sunglasses.
Wanaka (New Zealand)
Wanaka is an alpine town located in the south of New Zealand, surrounded by glacial lakes and mountains. Wanaka is a paradise for outdoor and adventure sports lovers – if you’re seeking exciting adventures, look no further! In winter, which takes place between June and August, you can book a trip to Wanaka’s ski resort. There are several slopes in the mountains that surround the city, and local shops where you can rent the equipment you’ll need.
