adventure travel

Risky destination tourism

Adventure travel is tourism focused on exploration, physical activity, or experiencing remote or challenging environments.

It encompasses activities like hiking, kayaking, wildlife safaris, or mountain climbing in destinations off the beaten path.

The term distinguishes itself from conventional tourism by emphasizing active engagement with nature or unfamiliar cultures: We booked an adventure travel package through Patagonia.
