“30 is the new 20.” This saying is true when it comes to your 30s. You are young enough for adventures but old enough to be able to take care of yourself and have a bit more financial stability. If you’re looking for something that will get your blood pumping, this list of 10 must-see travel tours in your 30s will make you want to book a flight with Helicopter Gold Coast
Namibia
It is a country in Africa that will make you feel like the explorer you always wanted to be. The Namib Desert has no shortage of adventure with stunning sand dunes, wildlife everywhere and some of the best camping spots on Earth. You don’t even need food or water because they’re easily accessible from nearby villages! This trip can get pretty expensive but it’s well worth every penny.
Mykonos
A Greek island just off of Turkey, Mykonos has long been one of Europe’s most popular party islands thanks to its close proximity to Athens and easy access by boat or plane (you’ll only have an hour’s flight). But there are many things for more than just those looking for wild nights; Mykonos is a great place to get married or even elope. With all the hotels and restaurants, you’ll never want anything!
Cambodia
The temples of Angkor Wat in Cambodia are an absolute must-see on your 30s travel list because they’re one of the world’s most impressive and significant archaeological sites. You can’t go without experiencing it firsthand. But make sure not to forget about some more humanitarian concerns abroad – there are many families who need help with education, housing, healthcare, and food security. Consider donating what you can when planning a trip here so that others may benefit from your travels too!
Tulum Mexico
This Mexican beach town has quickly become one of North America’s most popular destinations due to its rich Mayan history that attracts travelers from all over the world. Tulum is also an incredibly laidback place, so it’s great for a nice break from the stress of work and school!
Laos
If you’re looking for somewhere with incredible beaches, Laos is just perfect. The country offers up some amazing scenery – think limestone karsts rising out of emerald green waters or mile-long stretches of powdery sands where buffed European tourists can be found lounging on beach chairs throughout the day. You’ll feel like you’ve stepped back in time when walking through historic Vang Vieng Town which has been slowly restored by local artisans who have put their own spin on this place.
Kefalonia
Located in the Ionian Sea, Kefalonia is Greece’s second-largest island and the one you’ll want to visit if you’re craving incredible food (and wine). Highly regarded as a gastronomic hub for seafood lovers, this destination also does an excellent job of preserving its rich history with ancient villages that are only accessible by foot or water taxi. And while it might not be very well known outside of Europe right now, tourism here is on the rise which means prices will soon go up!
The Amazon
The largest rainforest on Earth, the Amazon is not only beautiful but incredibly diverse. You’ll find over 4300 species of birds and 1300 varieties of fish in its waters alone! It also offers some great opportunities for exploring (think kayaking through lagoons or rappelling down waterfalls) so it’s perfect if you’re a thrill-seeker with an appreciation for nature’s beauty. Just make sure to be careful when hiking because there are plenty of poisonous snakes lurking around…
New Zealand
If you love adventure and iconic landscapes, New Zealand will quickly become your favorite destination. It might sound crazy but most people come here just to see what Kiwi life looks like – that means sheep farms, fishing villages, and sprawling vineyards. And that’s not even the best part – New Zealand is home to one of the most out-of-this-world landscapes on Earth! The aptly named Skyline Track in Arthur’s Pass National Park offers 360-degree views of jagged mountain ranges, lush forests, and deep blue lakes.
Bosnia
This small country has a lot going for it with its rich history (there are some pretty famous castles here) as well as natural beauty. Bosnia also happens to have some great food and drinks so if you’re looking for an experience beyond just sightseeing then this place will be perfect! Just make sure to plan your trip during fall or winter because summers get really hot…
Thailand
Thailand is hard to beat if you want something exotic but still accessible for Americans (especially now that airfare prices have been going down). From elephant safaris in Chiang Mai or deep-sea diving tours near Phuket, there’s so much to see and do in this country. Just make sure not to forget about the people who live here – many of the locals are still living below the poverty line which makes it difficult for them to give back or offer visitors a good experience.
