As wanderlusters ourselves, we know how difficult it can be to choose a destination to travel to next, especially when there are so many amazing adventures out there to be had. So, to make things a little easier on you, our Club Adventures team has put together their very own 'wanderlist' featuring a selection of their top recommended places to visit. 

1. Costa Rica

It's not all about the sandy beaches and incredible fresh fruit (though that definitely sweetens the experience). Costa Rica is home to amazing exotic animals, like the toucan pictured above, and on our Costa Rica: Raft, Surf & Kayak adventure you'll be spotting animals like monkeys, sloths, and jaguars from a few new viewpoints - while tackling Class 3 rapids on a heart-pumping river adventure and paddling calmly through the waterways of Tortuguero National Park.

2. Mexico (Day of the Dead)

Experience this colorful celebration of life alongside the locals as you partake in traditional Day of the Dead offerings, don costumes and face paint, and dig into pan de muerto (chocolate specifically for this occasion). Plus, with a few tequila and mezcal tastings throughout the Mexico Day of the Dead Adventure, you'll be more than ready to celebrate with the locals!

3. Hiking in Alaska

If it's not on your bucket list, please add it now. Alaska's natural landscape is beyond belief and our Walk Alaska's Kenai Peninsula hits all the highlights. The best part? Walking on one of only four major icecaps in the US and believed to be a remnant of the Pleistocene ice masses that once covered half of Alaska - the Harding Icefield.

4. Kentucky Food Tour

Alright hear us out - bourbon and barbecue. You'll hit the classics too - from Honky Tonks to a backstage tour of the Grand Ole Opry, but truly it's the food that keeps bringing us back. From farm-fresh meals at one of the largest Shaker communities in the US to donuts and mimosa tastings and all the smoked meats in between - we love the Kentucky Food Trail to Nashville more than our stomachs can tell you.

5. Washington's San Juan Islands

Orcas, mountains AND great wine... what more could you ask for? Our Cycle Washington's San Juan Islands highlights one of the most stunning areas of the US and the breathtaking wildlife that live there. But, our favorite part has to be conquering Mt. Constitution. Peddling uphill with your tour-mates, such a physically and mentally rewarding journey - or if you want to take it easy there's the bus too - either way you're getting to see the beautiful seascape and mountain views from the top!

6. Miami + Key West

We're suckers for culture, and this area of the US certainly has its fair share - whether that's Cuban-American or simply the Jimmy Buffet culture - we love it. On our Miami to the Florida Keys tour you'll kayak through mangroves in the keys, explore the trendy Wynwood neighborhood, and zip across the Everglades in an air boat, but our favorite part has to be visiting Little Havana in Miami. Taste Cuban coffee, tour a cigar factory, grab a local lunch (maybe even a mojito!) and embrace the local Cuban lifestyle.

7. Portugal

There's so much to enjoy in Portugal it's honestly hard to pick the coolest highlight. From the colorful Pena Palace to exploring Porto and it's charming alleys and delicious pastries, our Premium Portugal tour has something to win over everyone's heart. However, you simply can't beat enjoying local Port with regional specialties at one of the regions best (and most scenic) wineries.

8. Cinque Terre

Exploring the colorful villages of the Cinque Terre is simply a must-do for any traveler. However, what's better than coming back from an adventure with the best party trick around? On our Cinque Terre in Motion tour, you'll learn how to craft mouthwatering pesto from the locals sure to give you plenty of recipe-envy at gatherings for years to come.

9. Argentina

There's nothing quite like wandering through some of the most stunning landscapes in the world. Our Highlights of Patagonia adventure hits the highlights of any trekker's bucket list including El Chalten, Mt Fitz Roy and El Calafate. Plus, you'll even experience a guided glacier walk on one of the few advancing glaciers in the world - Perito Moreno Glacier.

10. Iceland's Northern Lights

Iceland offers a variety of breathtaking views from volcanic black sand beaches to powerful cascading waterfalls. But, the real reason we're including the country on our our 'wanderlist' is for the northern lights that dance across the country's sky throughout winter. Our favorite Premium Iceland in Winter trip highlight? Searching for the northern lights on the iconic Snaefellsnes Peninsula!
