Crisp fall air means it’s time to get moving, and along with the expected roster of great travel choices from Backroads, there’s a new collection of itineraries launching in 2017 sure to provide plenty of inspiration. Whether you prefer to cycle, stroll, hike or mix it up, there’s likely a perfect choice to fulfill your travel dreams. Consider the new Maui & Lanai Family Multisport Adventure Tour, which incorporates walking, hiking, biking, kayaking and snorkeling through a two-island landscape of white-sand beaches, picturesque historic towns and volcanic slopes.

During the Czech Republic & Austria Bike Tour, you can peddle through Bohemia and the Wachau Valley from Prague to glittering Vienna, plus learn about regional traditions and sample tasty beers and Austrian wines. Head north for the Iceland Walking & Hiking Tour to explore coastal fishing villages in the island country’s north, including remote Siglufjördur. This fjord-side village was only connected by road in 1940 and retains a colorful and enigmatic vibe. Along the way, there’s plenty of time to marvel at the landscape of waterfalls and glaciers. You’ll find departure dates, details, pricing and plenty more destination choices at the Backroads website.

High-Spirited Hong Kong: The Dynamic Hub Embraces Its Maritime History and Culture

It was known as the “Kai Tak heart attack” — the thrilling, terrifying final approach into Hong Kong’s Kai Tak Airport. Airliners were required to bank sharply at the last moment, dodging hills and apartment blocks to line up with a runway jutting out into Kowloon Bay. The airport is long gone, but international visitors are arriving at Kai Tak again, albeit more sedately. Their cruise ships dock smoothly at Kai Tak Cruise Terminal, a modern gateway designed by Sir Norman Foster.
