An underwater ROV is an excellent idea for adventure tourists that love to record the deep blue sea or want to explore pockets of the ocean for deep-sea fishing. One of the best is the FiFish V6. It enables the exploration of shipwrecks and coral reefs and the discovery of large schools of fish. At the same time, sailors can use them to inspect their boats for damage.

You can submerge this drone up to 328 feet, and it comes with a tether to match. It can get pretty dim down there, but this drone records the colors of the deep in a vibrant state, even in the absence of strong sunlight filtering through. This vividness is largely thanks to the f/2.5 aperture on the hyperlight-specific lens. A nighttime expedition is also an exciting activity in which you can partake. With the twin 2000-lumen headlights, exploring the eerie seabed and all its nooks and crannies is a memorable event all the family can enjoy.

The drone will provide you with memories in the form of high-quality videos in 4K at 30fps or full HD at 120fps and fine 12MP stills. This lens is also a 166-degree field-of-view lens, meaning that the camera can capture almost as much as is possible with the human eye. You can view what the lens sees and remotely control the underwater drone in FPV with the immersive VR headset, or you can use the app on your smartphone.

Another excellent feature is the AI Vision Lock, which focuses precisely on a target. It also has dependable image stabilization, which is very useful in strong currents, and live HD broadcasts to show off to your friends on social media.

It’s relatively easy to learn how to use it. There are two modes, one for beginners and another for more advanced users. In beginner mode, many advanced features, such as depth hold, which ensures you don’t go deeper than its 328-foot limit, are automatic. You can learn more features as you become more proficient, including extensive use of the ROV’s 360-degree movements.

However, the item’s dimensions may put off long-term adventure tourists. At 15 x 13 inches and weighing over 22 pounds, it might be too cumbersome for some to cart off to far-flung destinations.

The Garmin InReach Mini 2 Satellite Communicator can be a literal lifesaver for the adventure tourist. Off-grid hiking, off-piste winter sports, backcountry RVing, or anything else you might do somewhere with an iffy cellphone signal will feel all that more secure.

You can have the best GPS maps loaded up to your smartphone, but it is still possible to get lost once the battery dies or you are out of signal range. Considering this and the possibility of a medical emergency, the Garmin InReach Mini 2 Satellite Communicator starts to look like a vital piece of equipment.

You can contact emergency services and friends or family via email or SMS without the need for a cellular signal. Putting your loved ones’ minds at rest when you know you will be late in returning from the big hike ensures peace of mind for both you and them. Additionally, two-way communication allows you to relay more information about your situation and receive advice from emergency services. However, if just being lost is the problem, this device’s TrackBack routing feature essentially leaves a breadcrumb trail for you to find your way back to the starting point.

It’s small and lightweight at a compact four by two inches and just 3.5 ounces. Its IPX7 rating also means that poor weather conditions are not that much of a worry for this device; it is weatherproof, and you can actually submerge it in water up to one meter deep for up to 30 minutes.

However, you must sign up for a monthly subscription to use it, although the small monthly fee you pay is very much worth the peace of mind it provides.

A quality headlamp is a must for many activities the adventure tourist may want to undertake. From spelunking to nighttime hiking, cycling, and running, the Fenix HL60R headlamp will shine any path before you.

With its spotlight beam reaching over 380 feet, it’s also an ideal choice for illuminating animals from afar while on nighttime safaris. It will give you the light you need to illuminate them enough for photo and video captures.

It has a maximum 950-lumen brightness, which is more than enough for any activity. At this luminosity, the battery lasts a decent 48 minutes. However, it is rarely necessary to have it on this turbo setting. You can comfortably complete a spelunking adventure or a 2 AM hike to catch the sunrise with plenty of power to spare by switching between the mid (150 lumens) and high (400 lumens) settings.

Switching between the five brightness levels is done with a simple button press. Its low 50-lumen or even the red-light setting is ideal for everyday use around the campsite. They allow you to read easily in your RV or tent or do some chores before bedtime. The red light even ensures that flying bugs are not attracted to you.

Due to the battery being next to the bulb, some runners or mountain bikers may find it a little front-heavy. However, it is still lightweight and comfortable. Additionally, with its IPX8 rating, getting caught in a heavy downpour after the sun has set won’t pose a problem when returning to the campsite.

Although Garmin primarily targets scuba divers with this sports watch, it has numerous features for other activities that will also appeal to the adventure tourist. From surfers to mountain bikers, there is something in this watch for everyone. It has heart rate monitors, GPS mapping, and multiple fitness and adventure features. However, even though it is feature packed, it is still remarkably easy to use.

For divers, there are extensive features you can easily navigate through by simply double-tapping the screen or pressing the buttons on the side. You can track your entry and exit points or even log and share 200 dive details. For safety, you can also pair the watch with your Garmin InReach Satellite Communicator and interact with emergency services in the case of an accident.

There are many preloaded files for activities other than diving, including mountain biking, hiking, skiing, or even the golf you might want to play in your downtime. You can even use the Animated Workouts feature to practice yoga or Pilates when you are not participating in adventure sports.

Winter sports lovers can enjoy over 2,000 maps of pre-installed ski resorts worldwide. Additionally, hikers will find the topographic maps and ABC surface sensors extremely useful. These sensors can provide you with elevation and weather data, which is crucial to the high-altitude hiker. You can use it with the Pulse Ox Sensor to estimate oxygen absorption efficiency to give you a heads-up on any potential altitude sickness.

Oh, and it tells the time, too...

Every adventure tourist loves an action camera, and the GoPro 10 is one of the most loved. However, its battery life and overheating issues were problematic. The GoPro Hero 11 has rectified this with improvements to its thermal performance and the inclusion of the Enduro Battery. Previously, you had to buy this performance-enhancing battery separately, but now it is part of the package. This news is pleasing for all adventure tourists. However, winter sports enthusiasts will be especially thrilled because not only does it have a far superior life, but it performs much better in cold temperatures.

The GoPro Hero 11 maintains its outstanding video performance with 5K captures at 60fps or slow motion shots in 4K at 120fps. It features an all-new 360-degree built-in Horizon Lock and an upgraded, award-winning Hypersmooth 5.0 in-camera video stabilization. You can use this stabilization in automatic mode, allowing the camera to set its level based on your speed and movement. You will be blown away by the professional quality of your videos, which you will not get with other camera types. However, if that’s not enough for you, you can even live stream in HD to your envious friends back home.

It isn’t the best camera for still photography. Captures are decent, but not to the level you can expect from a more suitable camera. However, you can still pick out high-resolution captures from your videos and keep them as still images.

For surfers, snorkelers, white-water rafters, kayakers, and anyone else into aquatic activities, the GoPro Hero 11 is waterproof up to 33 feet. However, scuba divers should not despair; buying the sold-separately underwater housing will enable you to go to depths of just about 200 feet.

While the GoPro Hero 11 captures excellent videos while taking decent stills, the Olympus TG-6 captures excellent stills while taking decent videos. Although marketed as an action camera, the Olympus Tough TG-6 wanders into the point-and-shoot compact category.

However, it’s no ordinary point-and-shoot. This camera is almost indestructible; perfect for the adventure tourist that wants to capture high-quality moments of their dynamic exploits without worry. This camera is shockproof up to seven feet, freeze-proof to 14 degrees Fahrenheit, crush-proof up to 100 kilogram-force, and dustproof. These specifications make it an excellent choice for hiking, winter sports, spelunking, and many other activities.

Thanks to the camera being waterproof up to 15 meters without needing housing, you can add rafting, snorkeling, sailing, fishing, freediving, and paddleboarding. However, scuba divers should note that they must buy underwater housing separately if they wish to go deeper than 49 feet.

A drone is probably not the easiest way to record your adventure tourism exploits. However, who’s to say you will be on your own? This premium mini drone makes it simple to record family and friends or have them record you taking part in exciting activities.

The DJI Mini 3 Pro is one of the best mini drones on the market and is an excellent choice for beginners, thanks to its ease of use. However, one of its best features is its weight. As it weighs under 250 grams, it beats international regulations and does not require registration in all but the strictest countries.

Capturing an aerial video of a family member white-water rafting or recording your mountain trekking from a more stunning perspective will provide you with an abundance of vivid memories.

You can capture excellent 4K videos at 60fps and wonderfully detailed stills at 48MP even at night, thanks to the wide f/1.7 aperture and Dual Native ISO extending the dynamic range. With these specs, you can just imagine the scene as the sun turns red and dips down behind the horizon while you are captured riding that mighty wave.
