Hey {{first_name | Explorer}},

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

Before we start I just want to let you know we’ve just launched a brand new expedition on Adventure Fix GO. It’s a fat-biking expedition in Western Mongolia and it’s going to be epic. Check out the details here »

Now let’s get to the issue. Here’s what we've got for you today:

The Juan de Fuca Trail is one of those hikes that doesn’t always get the spotlight, but it’s a gem. It runs about 29 miles (47 km) along the coast of Vancouver Island, and it’s wild.

You’re hiking through thick rainforest, scrambling up muddy hills, crossing suspension bridges, and popping out onto these beaches where you can sometimes spot whales cruising by offshore.

Most people take three to five days to do the whole thing, camping at spots like Mystic Beach or Sombrio Beach.

Sombrio’s popular with surfers and has this cool little hidden waterfall you can walk into. Just make sure to check the tide tables, because some parts of the trail are only safe to hike at low tide.

It’s a bit of a workout with lots of ups and downs, and if it’s rained recently, it gets seriously muddy. But if you're into coastal hikes and want something a little off the radar, this one’s worth it.

No big permit system either, just pay for camping. The best time to go is late spring through early fall. It’s got that wild, West Coast vibe, minus the big crowds.

If you’ve already been to the top safari destinations and are looking for something completely different, the Great Nile Migration in South Sudan might just be the adventure you need.

Every dry season, huge herds of animals, like white-eared kob and tiang antelope, move across the vast wetlands of the Sudd, following the rains and fresh grass.

What makes it special is how remote and untouched it is, way less crowded than the Serengeti migration, giving you a raw, wild experience.

The area is shaped by the Nile River and its floodplains, creating a mix of grasslands, swamps, and rivers.

As the animals move along the river, they have to watch out for crocodiles and predators like lions and hyenas. The migration also attracts tons of birds, from waterbirds to raptors, adding to the scene.

Getting there isn’t easy; it’s off the beaten path, and the terrain can be tough, but that’s part of the adventure.

South Sudan isn’t your typical safari spot, so if you’re after wild, untouched nature and epic wildlife events, this should definitely be on your list

Ever wanted to sleep in an abandoned mine?

Deep Sleep in North Wales lets you do exactly that—1,375 feet underground in an old slate mine beneath Snowdonia.

It’s part adventure, part overnight stay, and definitely not your average hotel.

You start with a hike into the mountains, gear up with helmets and headlamps, then descend into the mine using old stairways, bridges, and sometimes even a zip line or boat.

After about an hour underground, you reach a huge cavern with a few cozy cabins and a candle-lit grotto room built right into the rock.

Dinner’s simple and shared with the group, then it’s lights out in your cabin—comfy, quiet, and surprisingly warm considering it’s always around 50°F (10°C) down there.

After a cosy night's sleep, fill up on the breakfast buffet before heading back up to the surface.

It’s only offered on select weekends and sells out fast, but if you’re into wild, offbeat adventures, this one’s hard to beat.
