Discover Adventure | Blog

2026 is already shaping up to be an unforgettable year.

Behind the scenes, we’ve been designing new journeys that stretch further, dig deeper, and capture that unique Discover Adventure blend of challenge, discovery and reward. Some are returning favourites, refreshed for a new chapter; others are bold new frontiers we’ve been dreaming of bringing you for years.

From the tea estates of Sri Lanka to the volcanic peaks of Japan, the rock-hewn caves of Georgia to the orange-hued mountains of South Africa — these are adventures that will inspire, challenge, and stay with you long after your boots are unlaced and your bike wheels stop turning.

Here’s your first look at the eight brand-new challenges launching in 2026.

In an always-on world, true darkness has become rare and precious. That’s where Dark Sky Tourism comes in.

Loneliness is on the rise—but adventure might just be the antidote.

In an era of endless screen time, remote work, and digital interactions, more and more people are searching for real connections—beyond likes and comments, beyond the small talk of daily life.

And while adventure might not be the first solution that comes to mind, the truth is, it’s one of the best ways to find your people.

Looking for an adventure that blends epic history, jaw-dropping landscapes, and a healthy dose of challenge?
