Most vacations seem to have a few core things in common: everyone wants to eat a lot, and lounge around for a while. While there’s nothing wrong with doing this from time to time, health oriented couples don’t usually play that way. If you and your other half are interested in maintaining your healthy lifestyle even while you’re away, it might be hard to plan the perfect trip. Australia, as it would happen, turns out to be one of the best destinations for couples who love to be health conscious and fit together.

Go For a Long Hike Together

Australia has a surprising amount of mountains and hills, and there are many areas left untouched by urban development. This creates the perfect storm for hiking trails galore.

There’s no shortage of beautiful hiking trails in Australia, and they set the scene for a perfect date. You’ll be able to take everything in together while releasing those blissful endorphins with your sweetheart. Since many of these hikes are multi-day trails, stock up on supplies and bring a cozy tent. You can spend a whole week just hiking! 

Tour Island Farmer’s Markets

Australia’s many islands are perfect spots to grow ripe and bountiful produce. If you’re looking to have the freshest lunch of your life, you can travel right to the islands to get it. Hop on one of the P&O Australia Cruises from Melbourne out to Kangaroo Island. When you get there, visit the giant farmer’s market.

Kangaroo Island is a great place for people who love to eat, and it’s an even better place for people who enjoy a plant based diet. You can even partake in a glass or two of the local boutique wine if you’re looking to reward yourself and let loose a little.

Relax in the Botanical Gardens

Every trip needs a little downtime. You and your darling can spend yours in one of Australia’s many botanical gardens. It’s a great way to feel in touch with the native plants and insects without disturbing the environment.

You’ll be able to get some quiet time to enjoy each other’s companies as much as you enjoy your beautiful surroundings. You can even turn your garden visit into a game. Make a list of all of the native plant species, and try to find them all together. You’ll be moving around and learning.

Do Some Volunteer Work

If you’re health conscious and you adhere to a plant based diet, you probably care about the environment. Why not do some good abroad? Australia offers plenty of volunteer opportunities to work with the native animals, or clean up parks and reserves.

There’s also a larger Great Barrier Reef conservation effort at play, and you’ll be able to lend a hand to help out. If you’ve always wanted to see the reef, there’s no better way to experience it firsthand. When you get home, you’ll be able to say that you did your part to protect the reef.

Australia provides all of its visitors with plenty of ways to get active, and many of the local eats are perfect picks for vegan or vegetarian visitors. Your trip will ultimately be what you make of it, so as long as you’re spending as much time as possible with your favorite companion, you’re sure to have the time of your life.
