What is Adventure Travel?


Adventure travel is exactly what it sounds like, a form of tourism that typically involves traveling to a destination in the pursuit of a particular outdoor activity. Adventure travel comes in many forms, from ski and surf trips to backpacking expeditions and beyond. With an emphasis on immersive experiences, adventure travel marries exhilarating activities with breathtaking destinations, and the result has travelers coming back for more year after year. Adventure travel rose in popularity in 2020,  thanks to the Covid-19 Pandemic which saw travelers head outdoors to avoid crowds. Now, years later, adventure travel is here to stay. 


The Benefits of Adventure Travel

There's a reason millions of travelers are looking for out of their vacations. Adventure travel isn't just thrilling, it's also incredibly gratifying and even good for your health. When we head out into nature, it's easier to be active. Surfing, hiking, and skiing are each a hell of a workout and a lot more fun than going to the gym. Additionally, adventure travel pushes us out of our comfort zone, where we learn new skills and find community amongst fellow adventurers. 


How to Enhance Adventure with the Right Gear

When you’re out exploring in the elements, having good gear is paramount to enjoying yourself and staying safe in the outdoors. Regardless of where your journey takes you, sun protection is a must-have item on every packing list. While sunscreen is essential, UPF clothing has proven more effective than sunscreen alone when it comes to shielding the body from harmful UV rays that cause sunburn and lead to skin cancer. Not all UPF clothing is adventure-ready. Some UPF clothing is meant for use in the water alone. Other UPF clothing has a sleek, athletic fit and style that doesn’t transition to the “Apres” scene. The Oleu Boardshirt is the first of its kind. A button-up style Aloha sun shirt made from quick dry, recycled fabric featuring timeless Aloha prints, the Boardshirt does it all. While the Boardshirt was originally designed for surfing, it's the ideal outdoor companion for fishing,  foiling, paddling, boating, hiking, and beyond. The Boardshirt’s signature quick-dry fabric allows it to transition from beach to bar and beyond. The Olue Boardshirt is the next generation of sun protection and the ultimate adventure travel companion.
