Canyoning in Spain, ice trekking in the Faroe Islands, mountaineering in Australia… We’re sure you’ll love the thrill of active tourism in the heart of nature — even more so when you book your adventure with Reserving at the best prices. Ready to join us?
actividades turismo activo
As the saying goes, “to each their own.” If you’re someone who sees vacation as a time for complete rest — physically and mentally — and you imagine yourself sunbathing on a beach doing absolutely nothing, maybe this section on active tourism and nature isn’t quite your thing. But hold on — we still encourage you to keep reading. You might just discover something you love, or find inspiration to try something new and unexpected. Who knows — we may surprise you.
oferta tirolina
Before diving into the details, it's important to highlight one thing: all the experiences we suggest come with full safety guarantees. The outdoor activity companies we work with (and there are more and more of them every day) take every precaution to make sure you're never at risk. You’ll be looked after and guided by certified professionals every step of the way. Read on and discover a whole new way to enjoy your holidays — with adventure, spectacular natural landscapes, and always the best prices thanks to Reserving.

What is active tourism?

If you're unsure what exactly falls under “active tourism,” let’s turn to the official definition from the Government of the Canary Islands — one of Spain’s most iconic destinations for nature lovers. They define it as follows:
“Active tourism activities are leisure, sports or adventure experiences that typically take place using natural resources in any environment — whether air, land, underground, water or urban — as well as educational or interpretive activities in the cultural, environmental or similar fields.”
senderismo en canarias
Mountaineering, hiking, climbing, canyoning, caving, biking, rafting, kayaking, surfing, canoeing… Almost any outdoor sport you can think of fits within the category. Active tourism is all about being in nature — anywhere in the world. Keep reading, because there’s a lot to discover.

Active tourism and nature in Spain

The possibilities for active and nature-based tourism in Spain are almost endless. It’s impossible to list them all here, so we’ll highlight one example for each type of activity mentioned above. What we recommend is heading to our website, using the filters to narrow down your preferences, and choosing the one that’s right for you. We’re confident you’ll find something that grabs your attention.
descenso sella en canoa
