Big birthday coming up?
One of the most common questions we get here at The Adventure People is asking for ideas on where to go for your own or a loved one's big birthday. Whether that's 21 or 70, we've collected some ideas below to inspire you a bit. We recommend reading all of them though no matter your age as what might fit one 60 year old might fit a 21-year-old just as well, that's the beauty of adventures!
Celebrate becoming an adult and of legal drinking age anywhere by going on a big adventure to the States. Celebrate the big day in exciting cities like Las Vegas or New Orleans, or by watching the sunrise in a national park. Here are some exciting tours to check out:
Your twenties are also an amazing time to take some time off before starting your career to travel! Meet new friends and see the world on one of our many 18-29 tours. For example Essential Southern Thailand - 10 Days or Essential Bali & Gili Islands - 10 Days
Start off your thirties in an adventurous way by ticking something off your bucket list! Visit Machu Picchu in Peru, climb Kilimanjaro, snorkel in Malaysia or visit volcanoes in Costa Rica. If you're looking for something a bit more rejuvenating why not try one of our wellness trips? Do yoga and visit the home of the Dalai Lama on our Wellness India - 11 Days tour, or healing ceremonies, daily yoga and healthy food on Wellness Bali - 9 Days
Probably our most enquired about birthday, what to do for the big 4-0? We've actually found that most people choose to do a very big adventure for this birthday, like Everest Base Camp, the Annapurna Circuit Trek or trekking the Great Wall of China.
This milestone is meant to be enjoyed! Go on a safari in Namibia, a road trip in South Africa with a visit to the vineyards, or why not a cruise to the Galapagos islands? Maybe sailing in Thailand?
This is no time to be slowing down. Soak in culture and adventure in Argentina and Chile, visit Patagonia to spot some penguins, or visit the national parks of Canada. If you're looking for a bit more sun why not Cycle Vietnam?
You may have retired which means you have more time for adventures, right? We're not going to say this is the time to relax and just sit on a beach, after all, we just had a 76-year-old come back from Everest Base Camp! But you might also like our Portugal: Walking & Wine - 8 Days or Sri Lankan Highlights - 8 Days
