4. Havasu Falls Guided Backpacking, Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona: Some of the world’s most beautiful bits of nature are preserved in national parks, and the Grand Canyon’s Havasu Falls are no exception. Hikers from around the world come to visit the blue-green waterfalls and trek up the park’s mountains for the best possible views. Because the falls are located on the Havasupai Indian Reservation, a permit to visit is required, making a guided tour the best option for those who want to see them. On this three- or four-day trip, you can expect a whole lot of hiking, as well as ample time for relaxation and exploration of the canyon.
5. REI’s Thailand Multisport Trip: When it comes to the great outdoors, REI really knows their stuff, so going on a trip organized by them is a total no-brainer. This nine-day vacay gives the best of both worlds for urban and outdoors lovers: It starts off with a tour of the city of Chiang Mai, then takes you and your boo on a hiking, biking and kayaking trip through the jungle.
