"Adventure tours" meaning organized tours that involve at least 1 strenuous activity such as biking or hiking.
During my most recent international vacation (Brazil), I booked an adventure tour through Rio Hiking. Each tour has a 'rating' of Easy, Medium, or Hard. These 'ratings' are to be taken seriously. We booked the Tijuca Hike tour which was rated "Medium." The round trip hike was 4.6 km / 2.85 miles and a total time of 2.5 hours. Read my detailed blog post about the hike here. The hike was so strenuous that I was actually thankful I had trained and completed a half marathon prior to the trip. Here is a video from the hike.
In conclusion, 'adventure tours' are great if you are looking to get in your workout while on vacation and see spectacular sights that are not so accessible to the general public.
