The Adventure Travel Conference has brought heretofore unknown, and unexplored destinations to the forefront of the travel industry. Here we will explore the five destinations that left attendees at the conference entranced and ready to pack their bags.

1. Palau, But Not Just for Its Pristine Waters and Coral Reefs

Palau is known for its stunning marine life and idyllic waters. Still, it also offers something more adventurous – getting up close and personal with crocodiles! The Palau side-lined crocodile is endemic to the island and can be observed in their native habitat from the safety of a steel cage.

2. The Northern Lights over Svalbard, Norway

Svalbard is noted for its excellent spectator view of the Northern Lights, which flicker across the clear Arctic sky. Visitors can experience this phenomenon onboard a comfortable heated catamaran, or if you’re feeling adventurous, take in the splendor of the Northern Lights while dog-sledding across the glacial landscape.

3. The Volcanic Wonders of Iceland

Iceland is home to some of the most dramatic and active volcanoes on the planet. Iceland’s unpredictable and changing weather patterns, combined with the otherworldly landscapes, makes the thrill of volcano hunting a unique and unforgettable adventure.

4. Tasmania, Australia

Tasmania is a cornucopia of incredible experiences, including hiking and kayaking in preserved wilderness and feeding wild Tasmanian devils by hand. Tasmania’s deep national parks are still unspoiled, and the air is so fresh, you can tell the difference immediately upon arrival.

5. The Remote Wave-Washed Islands of Japan’s Okinawa

In addition to its stunning coral reefs and underwater caves, the Okinawa Islands offer thrill-seeking travelers an opportunity to take on the natural elements by bodysurfing or bodyboarding some of Japan’s most massive waves.
