Whether it\u2019s swapping the Inca Trail for the solitude of Salkantay in Peru or embracing Norway\u2019s friluftsliv tradition, these new experiences redefine active travel. They connect you to people, places and the planet \u2013 and promise the kind of adventure that stays with you long after the hiking boots come off.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">1. Embrace the joy of friluftsliv in Norway&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>For many Norwegians, the good life is about embracing friluftsliv, the ritual of being in nature and the great outdoors. The <a href=\"\/norway\/norway-hike-bike-kayak-167520\">Norway: Hike, Bike &amp; Kayak<\/a> trip, new for 2026, is all about that. Picture yourself cycling alongside goat farms and glacial streams, walking mountain trails with views of fjords and paddling to nooks and crannies found only by kayak below towering cliffs. You\u2019ll stay the Norwegian way, spending nights in cosy cabins, refuelling on locally sourced food and waking to mountain air so fresh it feels fictional.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Find your flow in the Philippines&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Trade the yoga studio for a paddleboard and a jungle-fringed river on the&nbsp;new <a href=\"\/philippines\/essential-philippines-166294\">Essential Philippines<\/a> escape for 18 to 35s. You\u2019ll take a stand-up paddleboard out onto the Loboc River, floating alongside palms as you stretch into downward dog. After class, paddle to shore for a riverside lunch. Spend your days hopping between nearby islands for hikes and sipping local treats like coconut wine. Cap it all off with a visit to the three-tiered Cambugahay Falls.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Uganda-Kibale-Forest-chimpanzee-adult-foliage-GettyImages-614928256-1.jpg\" alt=\"A chimpanzee gazes at the camera in Kibale, Uganda\" class=\"wp-image-87758\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Uganda-Kibale-Forest-chimpanzee-adult-foliage-GettyImages-614928256-1.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Uganda-Kibale-Forest-chimpanzee-adult-foliage-GettyImages-614928256-1-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Uganda-Kibale-Forest-chimpanzee-adult-foliage-GettyImages-614928256-1-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Uganda-Kibale-Forest-chimpanzee-adult-foliage-GettyImages-614928256-1-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Uganda-Kibale-Forest-chimpanzee-adult-foliage-GettyImages-614928256-1-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Uganda-Kibale-Forest-chimpanzee-adult-foliage-GettyImages-614928256-1-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Locking eyes with chimps in Uganda is ample reward for a challenging hike<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. Track chimpanzees in Uganda&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Follow expert trackers deep into the Kibale, a tangled, evergreen rainforest that&#8217;s home to communities of more than 1500 chimps. You\u2019ll hit muddy trails, following fresh signs of activity through the canopy in search of encounters with gorillas and chimps. The chimp-trekking experience, exclusive to Intrepid\u2019s new <a href=\"\/uganda\/essential-uganda-and-gorilla-trek-166292\">Essential Uganda and Gorilla Trek<\/a> for 18 to 35s, will leave you breathless in more ways than one. When you finally spot chimps swinging and chattering, all that effort (and the mud) will feel worth it.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Read more: <a href=\"\/adventures\/the-goods-new-nature-experiences\/\">15 new ways to get closer to nature<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">4. Sleep under the stars in Guatemala&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019re short on time but hungry for action, this new four-day <a href=\"\/guatemala\/acatenango-volcano-hike-antigua-short-break-169243\">Acatenango Volcano Hike &amp; Antigua Short Break<\/a> is made for you. Kick it all off in colourful Antigua with local coffee, a walk&nbsp;through town and a visit to a women-led farming project before learning to press tortillas by hand. Then lace up your boots for two challenging treks up Acatenango volcano. The first will see you reach base camp, where you&#8217;ll spend a tented night under the stars. At sunrise, you&#8217;ll then press on to the summit for sweeping views stretching from Fuego volcano to the Mexican highlands that border Guatemala.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">5. Take a quieter alternative to Machu Picchu in Peru&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Swap Peru&#8217;s busier Inca Trail for a route through the country&#8217;s cloud forest and high mountain passes. Intrepid&#8217;s new <a href=\"\/peru\/salkantay-trek-machu-picchu-166531\">Salkantay Trek<\/a> is every bit as awe inspiring, but without all the crowds, so you\u2019ll feel like you have this part of the Sacred Valley to yourself. Cap off your trek with a climb up Machu Picchu mountain itself. Few travellers tackle this climb: the summit rises 620 metres above the ruins and the peak stands 3051 metres above sea level. The reward is an unforgettable, panoramic view of the ancient Inca ruins.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Iceland-Jokulsarlon-Lagoon-Kayak-shutterstock-2649688865.jpg\" alt=\"Kayakers paddling around an icy bay in Iceland.\" class=\"wp-image-87759\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Iceland-Jokulsarlon-Lagoon-Kayak-shutterstock-2649688865.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Iceland-Jokulsarlon-Lagoon-Kayak-shutterstock-2649688865-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Iceland-Jokulsarlon-Lagoon-Kayak-shutterstock-2649688865-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Iceland-Jokulsarlon-Lagoon-Kayak-shutterstock-2649688865-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Iceland-Jokulsarlon-Lagoon-Kayak-shutterstock-2649688865-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/Intrepid-Travel-Iceland-Jokulsarlon-Lagoon-Kayak-shutterstock-2649688865-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Iceland is made for adventurous types<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">6. Pedal and paddle Iceland\u2019s Westman Islands&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A remote archipelago off Iceland\u2019s south coast, the Westman Islands are where puffins outnumber people and volcanoes rise from the sea. You can see this region by boat with Intrepid on the <a href=\"\/iceland\/iceland-circumnavigation-ultramarine-163736\">Iceland Circumnavigation<\/a> trip. But now you can explore by land, cycling past sea cliffs and puffin colonies on the new <a href=\"\/iceland\/iceland-hike-bike-kayak-166427\">Iceland: Hike, Bike &amp; Kayak<\/a> adventure. You\u2019ll also hike glaciers, canyons and waterfalls, and kayak through a glassy lagoon in the fishing village of Stokkseyri.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">7. Cycle by the sea in Baja California, Mexico&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Saddle up for something totally new with the <a href=\"\/mexico\/mexicos-baja-peninsula-hike-bike-kayak-166390\">Baja California: Hike, Bike &amp; Kayak<\/a> trip, Intrepid\u2019s first-ever adventure&nbsp;in&nbsp;this desert-meets-ocean playground. You\u2019ll kayak to El Arco (Cabo\u2019s iconic arch), bike mountain trails through the Sierra de las Cacachilas and hike to canyon pools and cool off with a swim. Between these active pursuits, unwind in laid-back regional capital La Paz and feast on Baja\u2019s best: think fish tacos paired with a gentle sea breeze and epic sunset.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">8. Steep yourself in Sri Lanka\u2019s tea trek&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>On the refreshed <a href=\"\/sri-lanka\/essential-sri-lanka-166802\">Essential Sri Lanka<\/a> trip for 18 to 35s, Intrepid\u2019s added something special for 2026: a walk along the acclaimed Pekoe Trail. Named one of TIME Magazine\u2019s World\u2019s Greatest Places, this trail champions sustainable, community-led travel. Intrepid has partnered with the Pekoe Trail Organization to support responsible tourism along the way. After your hike, you\u2019ll grab lunch and tea with a local family.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignwide size-full is-style-rectangular\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1920\" height=\"1080\" src=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/RR1_5903-2.jpg\" alt=\"A group of Intrepid travellers hiking in Oaxaca's highlands\" class=\"wp-image-88940\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/RR1_5903-2.jpg 1920w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/RR1_5903-2-425x239.jpg 425w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/RR1_5903-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/RR1_5903-2-1536x864.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/RR1_5903-2-1170x658.jpg 1170w, https:\/\/www.intrepidtravel.com\/adventures\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/11\/RR1_5903-2-585x329.jpg 585w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1920px) 100vw, 1920px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Hiking in Oaxaca shows you a different side to Mexico<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:20px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">9.

You\u2019ll hike from Theth to Valbona, crossing two national parks where no roads run and the only way through is on foot. Lose yourself to rugged peaks and experience warm mountain hospitality. This is a seemingly untouched part of Europe, that&#8217;s unexpectedly wild and peaceful.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">12.

Climb Pico do Ruivo (the island\u2019s highest peak) and trace seaside trails between small villages. When you\u2019re not hiking, swim in volcanic rock pools, lounge on black-sand beaches and refuel with grilled seafood and a glass of poncha (local rum). It\u2019s just the right mix of ocean air, altitude and island charm.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">13.
