Thrilling Outdoor Adventures That Are Surprisingly Budget-Friendly

9. Climbing a Natural Rock Arch or Coastal Cliff

If you love breathtaking ocean views, skip the expensive boat tours and hike to a natural sea arch or cliffside lookout instead. From Durdle Door in England to the Azure Window’s remains in Malta, natural rock formations offer some of the most incredible coastal panoramas in the world—without an entry fee. For inland adventures, rock arches like Delicate Arch (Utah) and Pont d’Arc (France) provide a perfect sunrise or sunset spot after a rewarding climb. These places are a photographer’s dream, offering dramatic landscapes that will make your adventure look like something out of a movie.
