6 Bucket List Destinations to Visit at Least Once
Dreaming of your next adventure? Whether you're craving volcanic landscapes, romantic cities, or lush green countryside, these six unforgettable destinations deserve a place on your travel bucket list. Each offers something unique—nature, luxury, culture, or all of the above—and they’re even better when booked through a trusted travel partner like Quest Travel Adventures.
Tenerife, Spain
Europe’s Best-Kept Island Secret
Often overlooked in favor of flashier Mediterranean spots, Tenerife is a hidden gem waiting to be explored. Nicknamed the “Island of Eternal Spring,” it boasts a year-round mild climate, dramatic volcanic scenery, charming coastal towns, and rich Canarian culture. One day you’re hiking Mount Teide—the highest point in Spain—and the next you’re lounging on black sand beaches or wine tasting in the mountains. Whether you’re traveling solo, as a couple, or with family, Tenerife is a destination that blends nature, adventure, and culture beautifully. Explore our expert guide to traveling Tenerife.
Paris & Bordeaux, France
Romance, Wine, and Timeless Beauty
Paris isn’t just for first-timers—it’s a city that unfolds new layers with every visit. Wander the cobblestone streets of Le Marais, watch the Eiffel Tower sparkle at night, or escape to the countryside to explore vineyards and châteaux in Bordeaux, one of France’s most scenic and delicious regions. From museums to macarons, this is a destination that satisfies every kind of traveler—especially those with a love for food, art, and refined experiences. Explore Paris and Bordeaux itinerary ideas.
The Azores, Portugal
Europe’s Green Escape
The Azores are where nature lovers find their peace. Located in the North Atlantic, this Portuguese archipelago is packed with crater lakes, hot springs, waterfalls, and volcanic landscapes—yet it’s still a hidden treasure compared to more touristy islands. Take a whale-watching tour, soak in geothermal baths, or hike to a panoramic viewpoint that rivals anywhere in the world. It's a sustainable, off-the-beaten-path adventure that delivers on every level. Read our full Azores FAQ Guide.
Ireland
Castles, Cliffs, and Culture
There’s something magical about Ireland that stays with you. Maybe it’s the rolling green hills, the rugged Wild Atlantic Way, or the way a warm fire and live fiddle music feel like home—even if you’ve never been. Quest’s Ireland tours blend major sights like the Cliffs of Moher and Ring of Kerry with insider experiences in cozy pubs and local artisan shops. Whether you’re traveling as a couple, family, or solo explorer, Ireland has a way of winning hearts. Explore our Ireland vacations.
Reykjavik, Iceland
Adventure at the Edge of the Earth
Few places feel as otherworldly as Iceland. Just a short flight from the U.S. East Coast, it’s packed with surreal landscapes: geysers, glaciers, volcanoes, lava fields, and the ever-elusive Northern Lights. Reykjavik makes a perfect home base for day trips to natural wonders like the Blue Lagoon, Golden Circle, and South Coast waterfalls. Whether you're exploring by jeep, snowmobile, or hot spring, this destination is pure magic for adventurers. Read our Iceland must-sees blog.
Bora Bora, French Polynesia
Luxury and Seclusion in the South Pacific
If you’re looking for once-in-a-lifetime luxury, Bora Bora is the place. This South Pacific paradise is all about overwater bungalows, crystal-clear lagoons, and days that begin with a sunrise paddle and end with sunset champagne. Whether you’re snorkeling with stingrays, getting a massage on your private deck, or island hopping by catamaran, it’s the kind of trip that makes the real world disappear.
