Hey {{first_name | Explorer}},

This is Adventure Fix, the newsletter that helps you discover extraordinary journeys and experiences across the globe.

Here’s what we've got for you today:

Rafting the Franklin River isn’t just a whitewater trip, it’s a full-on wilderness expedition.

You’ll spend 8 to 10 days paddling through Tasmania’s ancient rainforest and deep gorges, with no cell service, no crowds, just the sound of the river and nights under the stars.

The rapids are no joke, with names like The Churn and Thunderrush, mostly Class III and IV, with a few big ones you’ll portage around. But there are also calm stretches where you can soak in the scenery.

It’s wild, remote, and seriously beautiful. You might even climb Frenchman’s Cap or visit ancient caves along the way.

If you’re thinking about it, go with a good outfitter, they’ll handle the gear, food, safety, and logistics.

The season runs from November to April, with December to March being the sweet spot.

The Chinese Wall in Montana’s Bob Marshall Wilderness isn’t just a cool rock formation; it’s a massive limestone cliff that stretches for miles through the middle of nowhere.

You don’t just stumble on it either. It takes some real effort to get there, but that’s part of the magic.

Most hikers start from trailheads like Benchmark or South Fork, and it’s usually a multi-day backpacking trip. You’re looking at anywhere from 18 to 30 miles in, depending on your route.

There are no roads, no towns, no cell service—just trail, mountains, and wilderness. You really feel like you’re out there, in it.

The hike itself is beautiful with meadows full of wildflowers, clear rivers, endless pine forests, and big Montana skies.

You might see elk or mountain goats, maybe even a grizzly if you’re lucky (or unlucky, depending on how you feel about that).

And then you hit the Wall. It just rises out of the landscape, this long, jagged cliff that goes on forever.

Walking along it or camping near it feels surreal. It’s remote, wild, and stunning. If you’re up for the challenge, it’s one of the coolest backcountry experiences you can have in the U.S.

Cruise, paddle, and snorkel through one of Australia’s most remote and spectacular coastal regions—Shark Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its turquoise waters, marine life, and untouched beaches.

This 7-day liveaboard adventure gets you off the grid and into the wild:

It’s perfect for adventurers who want more than a beach vacation—this is the real, raw, wild coast of Western Australia.

Photographing macaws at Buraco das Araras is a total dream if you’re into wildlife or bird photography.

The place itself is wild—a massive sinkhole right in the middle of the forest in Brazil, with these sheer red cliffs that the macaws just love to hang out on.

There are usually dozens of them flying around, squawking, pairing off, or ducking into little nesting holes in the rock.

It’s one of the best places in South America to see them up close.

There are two wooden platforms set up for visitors, one’s best in the morning, the other in the late afternoon. If you time it right, you can get beautiful light streaming down into the crater, which makes the macaws’ colors pop in photos.

After you’ve got your macaw fix, look out for toucans, motmots, or even caimans chilling in the little lagoon at the bottom.

It’s a protected area, so they limit the number of people who can go in at once, which means it’s pretty peaceful—no big crowds, just you and the birds.
