1) Thailand
Adventure seekers usually base themselves in centrally-located Bangkok and take a train, bus, or motorbike to the best adventure destinations. Meditate with the monks in Chiang Mai or get PADI certified in the turquoise ocean off many of the Thai islands.
2) Australia
From the Outback to the Great Barrier Reef, Cape Tribulation to Uluru, there’s so much to explore that you’ll never want to leave. Adventure seekers can surf, hike in the bush, feed (or eat!) kangaroos, and even snowboard (yes, there’s powder in Straya). Don’t miss Cairns, adventure capital of Australia for snorkeling, scuba diving, bungee jumping, or white water rafting.
3) India
the deserts of Rajasthan, the chaotic cities of Mumbai and Delhi, the backwaters of Kerala, and the beaches of Goa. India is definitely one of the best adventure travel destinations because there’s something for everyone: camel rides, animal safaris, mountain trekking, skydiving, foodie tours, and photography outings.
4) Spain
Spain has top adventure destinations like hiking the Pyrenees or walking the Santiago de Compostela. Stay with a Spanish family and learn to habla español and take a siesta like the locals!
5) New Zealand
What makes NZ one of the best places for adventure travel? For starters, zorbing, bungee jumping, flying by wire, and jet boating were invented by the crazy Kiwis! Adrenaline junkies should definitely visit Queenstown, extreme sport capital of the world for all the above and more!
6) Costa Rica
lounging on a beach, or ziplining above cloud forests. Hardcore adventurers can also try extreme hiking through the jungles of Manuel Antonio, cave exploration, and bungee jumping.
