Some destinations and natural wonders won’t be around forever—whether it’s due to climate change, environmental damage, or cultural shifts. If they’re on your bucket list, 2025 might be the time to make them happen. Here’s a guide to breathtaking adventures you should book now before they become harder—or even impossible—to experience.
1⃣ The Maldives 
With rising sea levels threatening its low-lying islands, the Maldives may not look the same in a few decades. Known for its overwater villas, crystal-clear lagoons, and vibrant coral reefs, this is a paradise worth experiencing while you can.
2⃣ Great Barrier Reef, Australia 
Coral bleaching from warmer oceans is impacting this UNESCO World Heritage site. Visit now to snorkel or dive among its colorful marine life. Opt for eco-friendly tours to help preserve its fragile ecosystem.
3⃣ Venice, Italy 
Venice faces flooding and overtourism challenges. The city is already limiting cruise ship access, and preservation efforts may soon change the visitor experience. See its romantic canals and iconic architecture before further restrictions are in place.
4⃣ Glacier National Park, USA 
Climate change is causing its glaciers to shrink dramatically—some could disappear within decades. Visit now for breathtaking hikes, wildlife sightings, and stunning alpine views.
5⃣ Amazon Rainforest, South America 
Deforestation threatens this vital ecosystem. Exploring the Amazon by river cruise or guided trek offers a once-in-a-lifetime chance to see rare wildlife and indigenous cultures.
6⃣ Dead Sea, Jordan & Israel 
The water level here is dropping at an alarming rate. Floating in its mineral-rich waters and enjoying the surrounding desert landscapes should be on every traveler’s list.
