Skógafoss Waterfall, Iceland
Your Next Great Adventure Awaits
Our 2025 must-visit guide offers five destinations where the journey is part of the adventure. And if there’s one thing travelers should do every year, it’s to promise themselves a new adventure. Unique adventure travel destinations include:
Amankora Paro Lodge | Six Senses Bhutan | Dochula Pass, Bhutan
Bhutan, the welcoming Buddhist country perched high in the Himalayas. The flight in and out is always on an airline flown by a local pilot and it is one of the world’s most scenic landings. Once you’ve arrived, hiking and trekking to meet monks and admire the incredible temples (with five-star stays to recover) is a must-do.
Left: Pikaia Lodge, Galapagos | Right: Galapagos
The famously tame wildlife of the Galapagos Islands, where strict conservation measures mean fewer travelers in fewer ships. The area offers incredible learning experiences for all ages with some of the world’s most unique creatures.
Intrepid Travel, Antarctica | Quark Expeditions | Gentoo Penguins, Antarctica
The chilly thrills of Antarctica – sail the notorious Drake Passage or fly over it – and the wildlife (penguins! seals! whales!) and icebergs you’ll witness will stay with you forever.
Fitz Roy Mountain, Patagonia | Explora Hotels, Patagonia
Extend this visit into Chilean Patagonia. Luxury lodges make it as easy or challenging as you like to explore the breathtaking natural landscape. This is your chance to check the Mirador Los Torres hike off your list, but there is also no shame in boat tours to wind-whipped glaciers and jagged mountain peaks.
Gljufrafoss Waterfall, Iceland | The Retreat at Blue Lagoon Iceland
Closer to home, the geothermal thrills of Iceland await – hot springs and thundering waterfalls, Northern Lights viewing and ordering the famous Icelandic hot dog (made of lamb meat, pork, and beef). Naturally, you'll want to try it like the locals: slathered in sweet mustard, raw and crispy onions, ketchup and remoulade.
Your next great escape is just a conversation away. Where will you go this year?
