There are plenty of people who like to simply relax on vacation. These people dream of warm sands, being horizontal and having a frosty drink in their hand. However, there are of course, those who prefer a more active vacation. At Bike Tour Vacations, we understand that you’re looking for a vacation that is fun yet challenging, active yet at times relaxing. With that said, we have prepared a blog post that entails awesome ideas for the next active vacation you take.
One way people can stay fit and active while on vacation is to go on a hike. This is probably among the easier and cheaper ways to have an active destination. It gives you a lot of freedom and autonomy- there are so many cool parts of the country- and of the world to walk around and explore on foot. You can see the sights in cosmopolitan areas or you can find hidden gems in the wilderness, whatever floats your boat. There are so many different cool places to hike around the world, but consistently, people love to hike The Grand Canyon in Arizona, The Appalachian Trail, Kilimanjaro, the Snowman Trek, the Inca Trail, the Torres del Paine in Chile and El Camino in spain. Of course, there are many more options than just the ones listed- you should check out local hiking spots near you. More often than not, there are awesome, highly rated hikes right near you. Whatever your ability level and personal interests, you can find the right hike for you.
However, a hike may not be what you’re looking for. In this case, you may consider a bike tour or a bike vacation. If you want to pick up the pace and cover more land than you would in the case of a hiking vacation, you might try biking. You can set the speed, and cycling gives you the freedom to explore the lay of the land wherever you choose to travel. Also, the simple endorphins and rush of wind can be a magical experience for a lot of people. Bikes are used all over the world and for good reason. They can be used to explore such bike friendly cities as amsterdam, copenhagen or almost anywhere in south east asia. Southeast asia is famous for its cyclists and it’s a great place to take in lush scenery on bike. Of course, you can also choose more domestic options- there are plenty of cool bike trails across the country. The Great Lakes area is particularly known for its good bike trails and biking options.
Of course, there are other kinds of active vacations. You could ride horses on your holiday, you could go zip lining or try your hand at navigating rope bridges and more or you could opt for an aquatic paradise where you can splash around. However, if it’s biking you’re after, look no further than Bike Tour Vacations. Our bike tours are the perfect blend of fun, exercise and relaxation!
