While we have nothing against a relaxing beach break, we tend to prefer our holidays to involve some sort of adventure. That could be sea kayaking, kitesurfing, coasteering or just good old fashioned hiking. You’ll find reviews of our experiences below, plus a whole load of other suggestions for adventurous and active breaks. If you need to pick up some new outdoor gear before your trip, browse our gear guide for kit like walking boots and backpacks.
