Travel is all about those memorable moments that take you just a bit outside your comfort zone—and we’re here for it! While we’re not extreme thrill-seekers (okay, maybe one of us tried skydiving once and hiked Angels Landing), we do love mild adventures that bring a sense of excitement without going full adrenaline-junkie. We’ve tackled some unforgettable activities and are excited to share them with you.
- Superman ziplining through the misty Cloud Forest in Costa Rica

Adventure Rating Scale
At By Land and Sea, we believe that every adventure is unique, and finding the right fit for your travel style is essential. To help you navigate the various activities we recommend, we’ve created an Adventure Rating Scale. This scale provides a quick and easy way to gauge the thrill factor of each experience, from laid-back explorations to heart-pounding thrills.
Here’s how it works: Each activity is rated on a scale from 1 to 5, with 1 being a chill adventure perfect for relaxation seekers and 5 being an extreme adventure for the bravest souls. Whether you’re looking to dip your toes into something new or dive headfirst into excitement, our ratings will guide you to the right experience for your comfort level.
So, let’s get started—your next adventure is just a rating away!
