7 ideas for people who can’t just lie on the beach
Kayaks in an emerald cove, rafting, paragliding and safaris: active holidays in the countries we send travellers to most often.
Not everyone enjoys a week by the pool. If you want movement and new experiences, here is what to add to your trip.
- Kayaking into an emerald cave, where sunlit water seems to glow from within.
- Diving and snorkelling in the Red Sea; Egypt’s reefs suit beginners too.
- Rafting in Köprülü Canyon, about an hour and a half from Antalya.
- Paragliding over Ölüdeniz, one of the world’s best-known flights.
- Trekking in Kazbegi, up to Gergeti church in a couple of hours.
- Surfing in Sri Lanka, where Weligama’s gentle waves are good for learning.
- Jeep safaris, from elephants in Sri Lanka to the desert around Dubai.
Before any adventure, check that your insurance covers it.
