Most Popular Adventure Activities for Couples

While many couples enjoy romantic movie dates, candlelit dinners or being snuggled up in front of a cozy fireplace, there are many couples who would prefer to do more adventurous stuff. In fact, it is said that couples that do new things together grow together.

So here is a list of some of the most popular adventure activities for couples.

• Hiking or Trekking

All you need to do is invest in a good pair of hiking shoes and you’re all set. And if you think that this is just a walk in the park, you’re sorely mistaken. Adventurous hikes means going to locations that are exciting and unique.

Some of the best hiking trails are the Inca Trail in Peru, the Hidden Inca Trail, again in Peru, the Torres Del Paine “W” Circuit in Chile, the Appalachian Trail in the US, hiking to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro in Tanzania, just to name a few.

• Rock Climbing

This is a great activity that can be done indoors as well as outdoors. But if you want to get the real experience then some of the best rock climbing locations in the world are in the US (Red River Gorge in Kentucky, Otter Cliff in Maine), the Frankenjura in Bavaria, Railay Beach in Thailand and Kalymnos Island in Greece.

• Scuba Diving

Scuba diving can be one of the most amazing adventures you can go on. You get to discover a whole new world as a couple. Some of the best scuba diving spots around the world are Barracuda Point in Malaysia, Blue Corner Wall in Micronesia, the Yongala in Australia, Thistlegorm in the Egyptian Red Sea and the Manta Ray Night Dive in Hawaii.

• Skiing

Another great adventure activity to do for couples in skiing. And some of the best skiing can be had at Whistler (Canada), Courchevel (France), Lech (Austria), Zermatt (Switzerland) and Aspen (US).

• Camping

Camping doesn’t have to be pitching a tent somewhere close to home. There are some fabulous camping sites around the world that can offer you the adventure of a lifetime. Some of the best camping grounds in the world are Yosemite National Park (US), Miyajima (Japan), the Isla of Arran (Scotland), Flamenco Beach (Puerto Rico) and Maasai Mara National Reserve (Kenya).

These are just a few of the adventure activities that couples can do together. There are a lot of other activities such as zip-lining, bungee jumping, white water rafting, running a marathon, cliff jumping, horse riding, mountain biking, etc. The list is truly endless.

The one thing that you should keep in mind is that adventurous activities are exciting in part because of the thrill (and very real possibility) of danger. This means that you could get hurt, in which case you would need medical attention.

Which is why you should also invest in couples travel insurance before you leave on any one of your adventures. You can then enjoy your adventures together, knowing that in case of any eventuality, both of you are covered and so will not have to worry about anything on your trip.
