As countries are once again beginning to open and it has become safer to get out again, why not make this Valentine’s Day a special one? Go all in and have one of your bucket list adventures together.
These are the top 7 choices to light that romantic adventure spark in 2022.
Sand boarding
Sand boarding is one of those cool sports you just have to try at least once and what better way to experience it than with someone you care about? There are multiple countries where you can experience sand boarding, including Morocco and Peru.
The beauty of heading to these countries to go sandboarding is that you get to experience other incredible things while you are there as well. In Peru, you can create a custom trip with First Step Expeditions for amazingly great prices.
Wherever you decide, spend some time enjoying the rush of sandboarding and then the pure silence of the dessert around you.
Adventure Cruise
What’s more romantic than an adventure cruise? I highly recommend UnCruise, not only for the small cruise feel, but the fact that they also take extra measures to be sustainable and not pollute like the big cruise liners do.
UnCruise is currently having a sale for their Sea of Cortes trip. Use code HEART22 to get $500 off until February 19th and enjoy sun, snorkeling and sea lions on this once in a lifetime trip.
I have sailed with UnCruise and they honestly go above and beyond with their trips. You can learn more by checking out my honest review of UnCruise.
Go on safari
I think safari is on most people’s bucket lists and there are some pretty romantic options for your own personalized safari’s. Kenya is one of the perfect places for a romantic adventure that includes on the ground wildlife safaris and hot air balloon rides complete with a romantic picnic.
Have a champagne breakfast out in the bush after you have flown over the open savannah, I mean does it get any more magical than that?
Book through Game Watchers Safari and you will also be contributing to wildlife conservation efforts.
Climb one of the 7 summits
Is one of your goals to hike all of the highest peaks in the world? Why not challenge one another with a summit up Mount Kilimanjaro. Considered one of the easier of the 7 summits, you can also enjoy a sunrise summit day and post summit meal.
With multiple route options, full moon treks and lots of options for climbing dates to choose from, why not give your favorite person that climbing experience of a lifetime?

Hike the O Trail in Patagonia
February is still in the throes of summer in Chile and Patagonia is another adventure traveler favorite and bucket list destination. So, pack up your gear and head out to tackle the O Trail.
While most prefer to tackle the W trail, the O trail is Patagonia’s undisputed gem. A quieter trek, allowing only 70 people per day, this 85-mile (136-km) trek is the perfect way to reconnect with your favorite travel buddy.
Go it alone, or with a group, it all depends on your needs and hiking experience. But if wildlife, pristine nature, and quiet are on the agenda, the O trail is the perfect choice.
Stay in a treehouse
Discover your inner child and have a glammed-up adventure all wrapped up into one. This is glamping in style and is the perfect getaway for Valentine’s Day.
There are so many options out there to suit everyone’s needs and desires with this growing interest in unique places to stay. You can find rentals on Vrbo and AirBnB or even a place called the “glamping hub” which breaks down all the treehouse options you could ever want.
Wildlife watching in the Galapagos
The Galapagos is a wildlife lover’s dream. It has some of the most amazing creatures you just will not see anywhere else. So, why not see it together?
And the best way to see it? With a group that has been in the conservation business for a long time. The World Wildlife Fund. Going with them you can be assured that you will minimize your footprint on the area, take special care to preserve the areas where these amazing creatures live, and support conservation efforts.
The World Wildlife Fund has a ton of options for guided tours of the Galapagos, depending on your needs.
Concluding Thoughts
Whatever you decide to do, whether it’s that big bucket list trip or an adventure closer to home I can guarantee it will be a Valentine’s Day to remember.
