Best Adventure Holidays 2019
If You Love Adrenaline-Pumping Thrills Instead of Lazy Beach Days, These 15 Holidays Are For You

Lazy beach days may be the first thing you think of with Aruba — and yeah, there's a lot of opportunity for that — but this tiny, colourful Dutch island in the Caribbean offers so much more. It's a hotspot for adventurous water sports, including some of the best wind surfing in the world, which isn't easy to come by. There's also no shortage of snorkelling (you can even snorkel above a shipwreck), jet skis, sailing, and incredible scuba diving.
Another fun fact about Aruba is that the centre of the island is a freaking desert! You will not be disappointed spending half your day on a UTV tour scoping out the incredible contrasting landscape of tropical ocean meets dusty, cactus-speckled desert.
