Birdwatching

There are endemic and unique birds to discover in almost each and every country. For example, just think about the many birds of paradise you can find in the West-Papuan forests of Indonesia with their bright vivid colors and long feathers. The beauty of bird watching is not only to see different animals but also to see them in their natural habitats. Furthermore, birding brings with it peacefulness, serene nature, and beautiful views. And bird watching is really not only for the experienced professionals with expensive cameras and zoom lenses. This activity can be just as much fun for people planning to do this the first time. Important is to make sure you have a good travel agent informing you about how it works and who can provide knowledgeable guides that help find the most amazing birds.

Safari

A safari is a very memorable experience that lets you enjoy all the beauty that nature has to offer in a safe and guided way. When you think of safaris, your first thoughts might travel to Africa where you can find animals such as giraffes, lions, and elephants. The word ‘safari’ comes from Swahili where it means ‘long journey’ and brings to mind images of African savannahs, endless plains, and lots of wildlife. It can be considered a long adventurous journey. In the past, safaris consisted of hunting big game animals, but now the shooting happens with cameras. Safaris take primarily place in various African countries that are home to nature reserves or national parks, but don’t be fooled as there are many more countries where you can have a once in a lifetime safari experience. Part of the safari experience is to stay in exciting accommodation. These differ from place to place. Some are in tents, others in lodges. In any case, safaris provide beautiful atmospheres and exciting adventures where nature is the most important aspect.

Cycling

During a relaxing vacation, you leave your daily grind behind and try to enjoy beautiful sceneries. One of these interesting methods is by riding a bike. Cycling holidays are becoming more and more popular in recent years. It is a sporty and active way of discovering a country and all its wonderful places and great for people who like to be on the move. There are lots of biking accessible destinations available in European countries, but also outside of Europe more tours are starting to appear. Biking trips are attractive holidays because you are in control of your own pace and you can take in the scenery as you like. You can make stops where you want to take photos or rest. And for the people who are interested in this physical holiday, but perhaps need some support, electric bikes are available with certain tour operators. E-bikes are gaining in popularity and they make going up and down hills less difficult. You’ll still have to pedal but not as much.

Snorkeling

One of the most popular activities while on a holiday is to go on a snorkel trip, because it is fun and easy and almost anyone can do it. It is only when you put on a mask and a snorkel and go underwater that you realize that there is a completely different world awaiting you that is full of fishy surprises. In most places you can snorkel alone or in a guided group setting. The advantages of taking a guide is that they know some hidden spots in reefs and among the scenery. There are big differences in snorkel locations around the world. In some places you can snorkel right off the beach into a colorful coral reef, while in others you can explore kelp or mangrove forests. In many other places, coral reefs can be damaged by bleaching or rising sea temperatures or even by dynamite fishing. It’s a good idea to research beforehand what is possible in your travel destination. Sometimes a dedicated snorkel trip by boat can elevate your experience as you can reach more remote places.

Trekking

Trekking can be seen as the big brother of hiking. The difference is that trekking is usually a multi-day trip which can be guided but this is not always the case. Trekking is an active holiday that brings you to areas and places where you can enjoy the wonders of nature. It’s often an all-in-one experience where you also do activities such as outdoor camping, photography, swimming, bird-watching, etc.. Not all trekking holidays are on foot, you can also opt for specialized bicycle trekking trips. Trekking by bike allows you to move faster, cover greater distances and see more of the environment. Of course the speed and distance also depend on your level of fitness. During organized trekking trips, you usually stay in local pleasant accommodations.

Climbing

For some people a holiday means sun, sea and sand, while others seek the thrills and adrenaline that the world’s great mountain ranges bring with them. Rock climbing is a nice mountain sport where you will be climbing a rock wall with the support of various aids. Climbing walls or boulders in mountain landscapes can provide great challenges for both beginners and experienced climbers. And these mountaineering trips come in many different forms, some with picturesque landscape views where clear water river streams and meadows fill your eyes. Climbing holiday destinations vary greatly. In Europe, the Alps reign supreme with the great Mont Blanc mountain, while in Asia the Himalayas await, and in Africa the Kilimanjaro can be climbed if you have the strength.

Climbing isn’t just about overcoming gravity. You could think of it as a kind of vertical chess game where every choice and movement is important to the next steps you have to take to reach your destination. It is suitable for all ages, from young to old, and also a great travel activity for the whole family. Climbing locations often offer routes that vary from very easy to extremely difficult for the mountaineering experts among us, so there will be an option for climbers of every level. Reaching the top of a wall or conquering a boulder is very satisfying and often you’ll be rewarded with stunning views of the landscape surrounding you.

Whale Watching

Spotting whales in the wild is one of the most special nature experiences you can have. Usually you take a boat trip to spot them, although in some rare cases it is possible to watch them from land. Coming face to face with some of the largest animals on this planet in their natural habitat creates deep and memorable impressions. Whales are found in almost all the seas of our world. And there are many places where you can watch whales, among others in Canada, South Africa, and Sri Lanka. Whales are generally divided in two species, baleen whales and toothed whales. In general, baleen whales are larger and feed by sifting plankton out of the water through their mouths. Some examples of these whales are humpback whales, gray whales, and blue whales. Toothed whales on the other hand, are usually smaller and have teeth. They feed on mammals and fish such as penguins, seals, and smaller whales and dolphins. Killer whales and dolphins are probably the most well-known members of this group.
