Top Destinations for Adventure Travel in 2023
The adventures you and your family take are an excellent way to bring your family closer together, enjoy beautiful scenery, and help you feel young and energetic. Here are some top destinations for adventure travel in 2023.
Austria
If you love winter sports, traveling to Austria won’t disappoint you. There are tons of adventure opportunities, including exploring the rolling hills on a fat bike and tobogganing (乘橇滑雪) down mountainsides. You can also climb a frozen wall!
Canada
Canada is the world’s second-largest country, which means endless adventure opportunities. You can walk with polar bears, watch grizzly bears, and canoe in isolated lakes to watch moose (驼鹿). Not to mention, because Canada’s coastline is the longest in the world, there are a lot of coastal adventures!
Chile
Located between the Pacific Ocean and the Andes Mountains, Chile’s Patagonia Park gives explorers so many opportunities. Check out the Atacama Desert, where you’ll feel like you’ve landed on the moon while exploring a natural spring that sometimes sends hot water or steam up into the air and the salt-flats that look like white still ocean.
Galapagos Islands
With its location 600 miles from Ecuador, animal lovers and outdoor adventurers feel like the Galapagos Islands are heaven on Earth. Many species are endemic, which means they are not found anywhere else in the world. You can explore Devil’s Crown, an dead volcanic cone (火山锥) near Floreana Island. Watch sea lions sunbathe on Gardner Bay’s beach or check out the tortoises in Santa Cruz, and more!

【推荐3】Cedar Creek Treehouse
Cedar Creek Treehouse is very high. About 15m above ground, it is wrapped around the trunk of an enormous 200-year-old red cedar tree. The treehouse is the brainchild of Bill Compher, who has created this special building at the border between Mount Rainier National Park and the Gifford Pinchot National Forest in Washington.
Access is along a 25m-long suspension bridge, then up a five-story stairway whose fourth floor is a glass observation area, where you can swing in a hammock (吊床) and enjoy the mountain views. On the fifth floor, the treehouse is divided into two levels: from the entrance there’s a surprisingly spacious living room, kitchen, bathroom and sunroom, while upstairs there are two double beds and skylights so you can take in the night sky.
But if this isn’t enough of a bird’s-eye-view, you can climb up a separate 30m stairway, walk across another suspension bridge to a glass observatory and admire the 360-degree views of the forest. But this is not for everyone. “Climbing an 85-foot staircase, walking a 45-foot-long suspension bridge to a treehouse observatory 100 feet in the sky... that takes a special kind of person.” wrote Compher on his website.
Need to know: Kids under 7 are not allowed inside the treehouse. Rates are $250 for two people per night, and $25 for each additional guest.
