5 Weird and Unique Travel Experiences That Should Be On Your Bucket List

Life is too short to not explore all the world has to offer. Explore new countries, try different experiences. You might discover a little travel and sense of adventure can really change your life. 

Here are the top five travel experiences at the top of our bucket list. 

1. Safari in Tanzania for Wild Travel Experiences

This east African country is known for its expansive wilderness. Here you’ll find the plains of Serengeti National Park, which is a safari mecca where the “big five” game of elephants, leopards, buffalo, rhinos, and lions run free.

Tanzania has one of the biggest national parks in Serengeti, adding up to 16 total national parks. Tanzania is an excellent destination to watch the annual migration of the wildebeest and baby elephants frolic with their parents in the muddy river of  Rufiji/Tarangire. This safari will be an epic once in a lifetime experience, with memories to last for years to come. 

Or venture to Kilimanjaro National Park, where you’ll find Africa’s highest mountains. Maybe travel offshore to the islands of Zanzibar and see whale sharks and coral reefs. Or here you’ll also find many opportunities volunteer overseas, especially in neighboring impoverished villages. 

2. Go Heli-skiing in Girdwood, Alaska

For a cooler destination, check out this resort town in the southern part of the Municipality of Anchorage in Alaska. Here you can do Heli-skiing, which is a downhill off-trail skiing adventure. There are no chairlifts up here, just a helicopter, which is the only way you can ski off these great heights. 

You’ll need some skiing skills and a bit of courage to enjoy this life-changing experience. National Geographic called this experience perfect for, “Off-the-beaten-path powder hounds with an aversion to glamour.” There is a range of incredible heli-skiing paths in Girdwood, with 16 to 18 thousand vertical feet of skiing. 

3. Drink Beer at Oktoberfest in Munich

Perhaps you’ve been to an Oktoberfest in the states, but that barely prepares you for the magic and wonder of authentic Octoberfest celebrations in Munich, Germany. 

This is when usually still Germans let loose in the whole city of Munich for a crazy fun beer celebration. Each year this festival starts on September 19th and lasts until October 4th. So don’t wait for October to go, or you just might miss it! 

4. Throw Tomatoes at La Tomatina in Spain

This is Spain’s biggest and brightest feast that takes place on the last Wednesday of August. Then, the entire town of Bunol gets covered in gooey juicy tomato paste. Starting early in the morning, trucks full of ripe tomatoes arrive in the city’s center, starting this tomato fight. 

You must experience the World’s Biggest Food Fight, which is more than just a food fight. It’s also a week-long festival of parades, dancing, and fireworks. And before the tomato fight, don’t miss the paella cooking contest, everyone’s invited! 

5. Zen Out at a Yoga retreat in Pune, India

Nothing sounds more relaxing than meditating with a view of the stunning Lake Mulshi, as you nourish your body and soul with healing Yoga. This retreat can help bring much-needed balance back to your life, and you might even discover something new about yourself. 

While here, you don’t want to miss out the stunning temples in India like the famous ISKCON NVCC Temple or the Shreemant Dagdusheth Halwai Sarvajanik Ganpati.
