10 Trips Everyone Should Take In Their Lifetime – According To Travel Experts

The time has come to start planning your summer holiday for this year, but where oh where to go? Forget about lounging around the pool in Spain or sipping some vino in the south of France. Yawn.

For some serious travel inspiration why not make it a once-in-a-lifetime trip? Business Insider released a list of the top spots everyone should visit in their lifetime, according to travel experts.

1. Wander around Cradle Mountain, Tasmania

Michael Reay, Editor at HolidayPirates, said: “Tasmania’s unspoilt wilderness, spectacular views, and incredible wildlife makes it a place that simply has to be on your bucket list.”

2. Catch the sunset at Goðafoss, Iceland

Travel blogger Charlotte Riemann says “it’s called the land of fire and ice for a reason. Waterfalls, volcanoes, glaciers, and the Icelandic hospitality are our favourite things about this country.”

3. Glide through a cloud forest in Ecuador

“From the earth, it is hard to see the sky; from the sky no-one can see the earth,” travel writer Abi King said. “But in the middle of those places, beneath a canopy of trees, visitors to eco-resort Mashpi Lodge can cycle through the air, fully immersed in the impressive emerald beauty that lives beneath the treetops.”

4. Ride a hot-air ballon in Cappadocia, Turkey

Travel editor India Dowley says “now scattered with underground cities and carved out cave dwellings, Cappadocia has only begun to attract visitors in recent years.”

5. Peek into Jackson Hole in Wyoming, USA

Daniel Houghton, CEO of Lonely Planet, told Business Insider: “Incredible snow, beautiful views, Jackson is a skier’s heaven. Exhibition Run, one of the toughest in North America, is a particularly difficult but rewarding feat.”
