20 Workout-Inspired Adventures Around the World

If you prioritize health and wellness while traveling, you’re in the right place. For those who love to stay active on the road, combining physical activity with breathtaking views and unique experiences is a dream come true. From exhilarating biking adventures to serene yoga sessions, here are my top workout-inspired activities around the globe. Remember to assess your physical capabilities, wear appropriate attire, and stay prepared with essentials like water and sunscreen.

1. Ebike Tour on Antelope Island (Utah, USA)

One of my favorite biking experiences was the sunset e-bike tour across Antelope Island in Davis County, Utah. Offered by various companies, these tours typically span a few hours and showcase the island’s scenic beauty. Expect to see wildlife, stunning views of the Great Salt Lake, and picturesque mountain landscapes as you ride through rolling hills and open roads.

2. Hike to the Top of Mount Zas (Naxos, Greece)

On the beautiful island of Naxos, hiking to Mount Zas, the tallest point in the Cyclades, is a must. I tackled this hike around sunrise, adding a magical touch to the experience. Passing through hilltop churches, caves, and lush landscapes, this hike is enriched by its mythological significance as the known childhood home of Zeus. It’s a couple of hours long and well worth the drive from the island’s main town. 

3. Hike Through Mt. Etna (Sicily, Italy)

Hiking along Mount Etna’s volcanic region in Sicily offers a unique adventure. Experience walking along ridgelines, exploring volcanic caves, and tasting local foods and wines grown in volcanic soil. Be prepared for cold, windy conditions at the top, where snow and chilly temperatures await.

4. Surfing in Tamarindo (Costa Rica)

My first surf lesson at Tamarindo Beach in Costa Rica was unforgettable. The steady, manageable waves made it an ideal spot for beginners. After a few hours of learning basic skills, we were catching waves and enjoying the vibrant surf scene.
