37 Best Adventurous Date Ideas

Even though you're date is going to be an adventure, I would still recommend you stick to the perfect date formula I previously wrote about. This will give you a solid platform to work with.

As a preface, some of these are pretty "adventurous" (heli-skiing). I would suggest that you would start with a couple that doesn't seem so out there and works your way up.

1. Go bouldering

If you haven’t heard of bouldering, it’s basically a miniature version of rock climbing. Climbers ascend small rocks or boulders (name makes sense now, huh?) without any ropes or anchors.

2. Indoor skydive

3. Parasail

4. Sand surf

5. Ice block

6. River raft

7. Take a hot air balloon ride

8. Shark dive

9. Go on a dinner adventure (Google 'adventure dinner + your city')

10. Slackline

It's a real challenge, but a fun one. And you can do it anywhere.

11. Jetski

12. Go ziplining

13. Scuba dive

14. Go kayaking

Get out on the water and see natural beauty from a whole new perspective.

15. Go kart race

Challenge your date to channel their inner Fast & Furious energy.

16. Surf

17. Play paintball

18. Base jump

19. Horseback ride

20. Surf

21. Archery

22. Play laser tag

Take your date to a laser tag park and start firing away.

23. Indoor rock climb

24. Take a day trip

25. Go to a rodeo

26. Heli-ski

27. Fish

28. Rock climb

As a bonus, the two of you will get to enjoy the view from the top together.

29. Go to the shooting range

30. See a concert (for music that you don't have on your iPod)

31. Hike

32. Snorkel

33. Mountain bike

Get the heart pumping and take those bikes far beyond where your feet would lead.

34. Cave dive

35. Wake board

36. Go to a circus

37. Swim with dolphins

6 Adventurous Date Ideas Designed for Summertime

38. Paddle Board

The best part about this activity is that (almost) no matter where you are in the world, you can do it. Aside from a board and paddle, all you need is a body of water. If you’re both new to the sport, pick a relatively calm lake or river.

39. Little Tokyo, Little Lima, Little Ethiopia, Little Beirut

Stroll through the city, eat actual ethnic food and best of all go into the shops. In the shops you’ll find items you won’t find elsewhere in your city.

40.  Horseback Ride

Horseback riding is normally done with a guide. Because of this, you'll have adventure in a relatively controlled environment. This makes it a great date if you want something a little less crazy.

41. Rooftop picnic

This is one of the more adventurous date ideas on the list.

The date is as its name suggests: find a high point in your city, climb to the top and enjoy the view with a picnic.

42. Archery or Shooting Range

There’s something about weapons and destruction that really brings couples together.

Pack a lunch. A nice finish to this date of destruction is a calm lunch together in a spot overlooking the damage you did.

43. Swap Meet

Swap meets are one of the most underrated and underutilized adventurous dates.

8 Adventurous but Free date ideas

Going on an adventure doesn't have to cost a ton. You can actually find adventurous dates that are cheap or free. These free date ideas give you the chance to do something out there with your partner that doesn't have to leave you missing rent for the month.

44. Lock your gadgets in a vault and see how long you can stand it

At this point, just trying to get to work without GPS can be an adventure for some of us.

45. Explore the history of local urban legends through online research

Learn everything, then explore the locations.

46. Bathe in a waterfall

It's about the most romantic image imaginable. And super adventurous to boot.

47. Explore an ice bar

The drinks may cost a bit, but the experience is free (and chilly).

48. Survive a day eating only using coupons

Those coupons may take you to some wild places.

49. Sunrise and morning picnic

There's no reason a picnic has to be a tame lunch.

50. Have rooftop date

A rooftop can feel like the most private place in the world, even in the center of a city.

51. Try skinny dipping

All it takes is a private location and both of you indulging your adventurous streak.

Not every adventure is actually fun. Some can be a real pain. If you want to make sure your partner actually enjoys your adventurous time together, use these fun date ideas. With these ideas, you'll get your blood pumping and have a blast while you do it.

52. Fencing

Learn to sword fight just like in the movies.

53. Go on an unplanned road trip

Just pick up and go and see where the car takes you.

54. Participate in an escape room challenge

See if you can complete the tasks together and escape!

55. Gate crash someone else's party

Make new friends and get into some wild situations.

56. Get up early and watch the sunrise together

Add in a crazy, relatively close but remote location for extra adventure.

57. Visit a shooting range

Let out your inner cowboy (and cowgirl) side together at the shooting range.
