outdoor activities

Fresh-air leisure time

Outdoor activities are recreational pursuits done outside rather than indoors—hiking, camping, fishing, cycling, skiing, and the like.

The term often implies physical exertion and engagement with nature: The resort offers a range of outdoor activities.

Parks departments and tourism boards use the phrase to market everything from kayaking to birdwatching.
