outdoor adventure

Wilderness recreation activity

Outdoor adventure refers to recreational activities in natural settings that involve physical challenge, exploration, or some element of risk—hiking, rock climbing, kayaking, camping in remote areas.

The term often implies leaving behind everyday comforts for direct engagement with nature: We planned an outdoor adventure in the backcountry.

Travel companies market outdoor adventure packages combining multiple activities.
