Sometimes in life there’s nothing quite like relaxing in an all-inclusive hotel for 10 days of bliss. If you have a natural desire to explore the world though, you’ll want to achieve more with your holidays. Thankfully, the modern holidaymaking arena presents many opportunities to do this in style.

Whether you’re an adrenaline junkie or someone who just wants to see more of the world, it doesn’t matter. The following 10 options are sure to deliver the desired outcomes.

  1. Motorbike Tours

The popularity of motorbike holidays is at an all-time high and it’s not hard to see why. It gives solo travellers a chance to join a community and ride a bike that they don’t get to enjoy in normal life. It’s also an opportunity to explore the most scenic routes in Europe through guided or self-guided trips.

It’s not only great for satisfying your inner petrolhead and seeing more of the world. Motorbike tours also provide the perfect opportunity to break away from the stresses of modern life and de-stress. In today’s society, it is one of the most sought after factors.

  1. Road Trips

If two wheels aren’t for you, the standard road trip could be the answer. Whether it’s taking your car to another part of the country or hiring an RV in your destination is up to you. Either way, the chance to share the driving experience with another driver is a welcomed benefit. It also adds a social element.

Whether it’s staying in motels, camping or another solution, it doesn’t matter. You’re in control of the itinerary. So, you can decide between exploring one location in detail or visiting multiple places in a single trip. Either way, a great adventure is assured.

  1. Helicopter Rides

If you are looking to elevate your holiday adventures, helicopter tours are ideal. You can book them in advance saving time and money. The guide can teach you more about the local area while you’ll get spectacular views from up high. Furthermore, the experience of being in a helicopter is one that you won’t forget anytime soon.

As well as helicopter rides, you could consider hot air balloon rides, paragliding and similar activities. Seeing the destination from up high will provide experiences that most visitors don’t get. This makes it an ideal way to make your trip feel extra special.

  1. Scuba Diving

Getting up in the air will provide a fresh perspective. Conversely, you can gain completely fresh experiences by getting in the water. Scuba diving adventures are one of the most popular holiday activities and are found in multiple destinations. Better still, each location will deliver a unique experience.

If scuba diving feels daunting, snorkelling can be a more accessible alternative. It will make your beach holiday far more memorable while also presenting great holiday photo opportunities. Not least when combined with other water-based activities.

  1. Cruises

Taking a cruise may not stand out as the most adventurous of holiday ideas. In reality, though, it is one of the most convenient ways to see multiple destinations. Moreover, getting a good night’s sleep will leave you feeling energised and ready for adventures in each location. So, if tackled correctly, it is an ideal solution for adrenaline junkies.

So, while time on the boat itself may focus on luxury and relaxation, you can squeeze a lot of action into the stops. Besides, everybody should get to experience the unique joy of a cruise at least once in a lifetime.

  1. Train Tours

Taking the train for your daily commute to work might be a little boring. However, train travel across Europe can be one of the very best ways to explore the continent. You’ll get to take scenic routes, visit multiple countries and feel supremely relaxed. You need to spend enough time in each destination to make it worthwhile. Still, the adventures are amazing.

Moreover, an Interrail pass gives you access to over 30 countries, making it a very affordable option for backpackers. Solo travellers and couples who want to see more of the world will love this option.

  1. Hiking

You don’t have to see multiple destinations to explore when you’re on holiday though. For many people, an in-depth appreciation of a single location is a far better choice. When hoping to embrace nature, hiking tours stand out as the perfect choice. It will keep you fit, allow you to see the holiday spot in all its glory and complete a rewarding challenge.

It needn’t be Everest or Kilimanjaro either. From the Tour du Mount Blanc to the Inca Trail in Machu Picchu, the world is blessed with many famous adventures. Meanwhile, National Parks often have great hiking routes for beginners.

  1. Animal Treks

Touring locations by car or motorbike is great. Sometimes though, horseback or camel tours are a better choice. They’re practical and offer a once-in-a-lifetime experience. In some parts of the world, elephants and other large animals are used instead. In many cases, this is supported by tour guides who will share their knowledge.

The only thing to remember when booking any sort of animal tour is to confirm that the operation avoids animal cruelty. As long as the welfare and living conditions offered to the working animals are fine, you should be okay.

  1. Go on Safari

If seeing animals in their natural habitats is high on the agenda, safaris could be a great option too. There are many great places to enjoy safaris, especially in Africa and South America. It is a chance to see animals that you’d never see in normal life and at the same time knowing that they are not kept in captivity or in any danger.

Alternatively, depending on which part of the world you visit, shark or dolphin spotting may be an option. Either way, the experience and photo opportunities gained from these adventures are insane.

  1. Volunteer

Volunteering adventures aren’t for everyone, especially if you don’t have the time. Nonetheless, supporting a society is a wonderful experience. Aside from the sense of pride you’ll gain, it is a chance to connect with people. Ultimately, this is one of the most effective ways to gain an authentic experience on your travels.

If you can’t do this, other activities that allow you to connect with people are ideal. From attending live events to street culture, opening yourself up to people will also open the door to stunning adventures.
