There’s nothing quite like exploring the great outdoors, but the appeal of adventure holidays has reached an all-time high. After all, lockdowns have left us pining for things that we once took for granted. Moreover, the chance to create magic memories without visiting airports or crowded venues at this time can only be a good thing.

First and foremost, you need to focus on the right type of adventure vacation for your personal tastes. If you are a keen angler, fishing holidays will stand out as the obvious choice. Alternatively, some holidaymakers will be more interested in hiking trips. 

A little spontaneity is great. Nonetheless, planning for a trip with the main activity in mind is vital. This will help you pack the right footwear, clothing, tactical bags, and equipment like geocaching devices. The money spent on these items is what you save by not taking international flights. Crucially, it’s a move that puts you in the right mindset while also making you look and feel the part.

The best thing about adventure holidays is that every trip is different. Once you have the equipment, there will be opportunities to enjoy subsequent trips at short notice. Off road caravans are a great investment that encourage you to take more adventures. And they will bring an extra level of comfort to all trips, especially when travelling as a family. Following the immensely stressful lockdowns, it can be the key to making up for lost time.

A lot of people fall into the trap of thinking they have to travel halfway across the globe to have fun. In reality, though, the key to a great vacation is simply to do the things you like with the people you love. With a caravan that can travel over all terrains, you can enjoy a varied mix of family campsite trips, National Parks vacations, and more.

Another key feature of a great vacation is the chance to enjoy activities that you wouldn’t experience in daily life. With a little research into the best adventure vacation spots, you can take on a range of activities. White water rafting, bungee jumps, and other adrenaline-fuelled adventures will create lifelong memories. Once you’ve discovered the thrill of them, you will naturally want to explore new places and experiences.

When taking camping trips or exploring the great outdoors, it’s likely that you’ll travel by road. This also opens the door to visit a few new towns along the way. With a little research, this can help you find hidden gems that most tourists never get to explore. It’s an extra incentive that will enrich your recreational lifestyle.

Ultimately, the versatility of taking road trips and adventure holidays is second to none. You can take last-minute trips and even change your itinerary while you are there. Whether travelling with friends or family, fun times are assured. On a side note, you are virtually guaranteed to get great photos along the way. So you can cherish the memories forever.

You may still want to enjoy other vacation types too. But you never hear regular outdoor explorers moan about their adventures. If that doesn’t underline the appeal, what will?

Tips for Trip Success

Book Your Flight
Find an inexpensive flight by using CheapOAir, a favorite of ours because it regularly returns less expensive flight options from a variety of airlines.

Book Your Hotel or Special Accommodation
We are big fans of Booking.com. We like their review system and photos. If we want to see more reviews and additional booking options, we go to TripAdvisor.

You Need Travel Insurance!
Good travel insurance means having total peace of mind. Travel insurance protects you when your medical insurance often will not and better than what you get from your credit card. It will provide comprehensive coverage should you need medical treatment or return to the United States, compensation for trip interruption, baggage loss, and other situations.
