As much as I love every kind I find myself on (and I really do), there\u2019s just something about an outdoor-focused junket that really stands out. No doubt it\u2019s the combination of fresh air, excitement, and just being around nature that leaves me with a sense of invigoration and calm at the same time. Below you\u2019ll find a list that includes some of my favorite ventures, as well as a few that I&#8217;m still looking forward to.

Awesome, right? Incredible rarely-seen views, pristine landscapes, and vacant paths through glaciers are all what you can expect from spectacular trips like the ones offered through Canadian Mountain Holidays. As for skill level, don\u2019t worry, they\u2019ve got you covered with tailored runs and slope options for just about everyone. Admittedly, the cost of a vacation that includes heli-skiing tends to be a little on the pricey side (as one would expect from lodges that own their own helicopters, sometimes required to get to the lodge itself). However, there\u2019s an upside to this, and that would be refined details like gourmet meals, massages, additional activities, and exclusivity. It might not be a cheap trip, but it will absolutely be one to remember.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"m_7482813407643252290gmail-p1\"><span class=\"m_7482813407643252290gmail-s1\"><b>2.

When it comes to outdoor activities, there\u2019s not much you can\u2019t do when you vacation at any decent guest ranch. Whether you\u2019re looking for a little luxury like what you\u2019ll find at Colorado\u2019s CLazyU or something family-friendly like Arizona\u2019s&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/Tucson-Hotels-Tanque-Verde-Ranch.h11265676.Hotel-Information?mcicid=page.Inspire.Gnomads.joe-Miragliotta.6-great-vacations-for-the-outdoor-enthusiast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><span class=\"m_7482813407643252290gmail-s2\">Tanque Verde<\/span><\/a>, there are plenty of options available that will fit exactly what you\u2019re looking for. Pro tip: Whatever gorgeous ranch you decide to stay at, make sure to schedule in at least one day for off-property activities. Chances are you\u2019re going to fall in love with the entire area as you make your way to where you\u2019ll be staying. You don\u2019t want to do yourself a disservice and not have enough time to properly experience both or either.

How about a trip where you learn the skills needed to survive on your own in the wild? Have your attention now, don\u2019t I? Possibly the best part about these is how specific the available options are. From zombie apocalypses and remote captor evasion to being shipwrecked on an uninhabited island and prevailing in an urban crisis, if you\u2019ve ever wondered how or what you would do in situations like these, you have a chance to find out. Some of them can even be tailored to exactly how in-depth you\u2019re looking to go. So, if you\u2019d like to sleep in an actual bed at the end of the day, no problem.

That is&nbsp;unless you\u2019re on a small vessel. On something like a clipper ship cruise you still get the benefit of visiting various ports and only unpacking once like you would on a larger one, but there\u2019s more focus on the actual water aspect of the trip. Instead of being limited to a pool and hot tub, you can also enjoy things like net lookouts for <a href=\"https:\/\/www.travelocity.com\/things-to-do\/port-stephens-dolphin-watching-tour.a260727.activity-details?mcicid=page.Inspire.Gnomads.joe-Miragliotta.6-great-vacations-for-the-outdoor-enthusiast\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">dolphin-watching<\/a>, taking part in setting the sails, water skiing, snorkeling, and kayaking directly from the ship. Not too shabby. If, however, you prefer to keep the number of other people around at a minimum, consider chartering a smaller ship just for you and a small group of your closest friends. You might not get to visit all of those ports, but you do get to keep the activities and it\u2019s usually cheaper too!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2 class=\"m_7482813407643252290gmail-p1\"><span class=\"m_7482813407643252290gmail-s1\"><b>5.
