There are 57 nature reserves within Halmstad Municipality, with different types of flora and fauna. You'll find vast marshes, deciduous woods, steep mountain slopes, rushing waterfalls and a bird sanctuary. Lace up your hiking boots or pump up your bike tires and discover a Halmstad that surprises. If you prefer to explore by water, gently gliding in a canoe is a delightful experience. Distances are short, so you can feel like a true adventurer one minute and be back in your hammock the next. Galgberget, or 'Gallows Hill', just a stone's throw from the city centre, is peaceful despite its name hinting at the site's history. Walking paths, bridleways and fitness trails share space in the beech and mixed woods. With views over Laholms Bay and Halmstad's city centre, it's a perfect spot to rest on one of the benches. Several hiking trails wind through Haverdal's coastal forest reserve. If you listen closely, you might almost hear the gnarled pines lamenting the drifting sands and harsh sea winds. Further north, the nickname of Skipås Nature Reserve, “God’s Green Meadows”, speaks for itself. Venture deeper inland into the heart of the countryside, where meadows and lush mushroom-filled forests offer a bounty of outdoor activities. In Simlångsdalen, tranquil lake waters beckon for leisurely canoeing excursions.

The wildlife park on Hamilton Island gives you the opportunity to get up close and personal with a large collection of native animals including koalas, kangaroos, crocodiles, wombats and frill-necked lizards.

This extraordinary encounter offers an unparalleled opportunity to observe Zambia's endangered white rhinos at close distance during an immersive walking safari, accompanied by expert guides deeply committed to wildlife conservation. The adventure begins with a foot safari through pristine bushland, where you will encounter not only these magnificent creatures but also diverse flora and fauna. Following the walk, the experience continues with a traditional game drive in a safari vehicle, allowing you to appreciate Zambia's wilderness from multiple perspectives. Few experiences compare to the thrill of traversing the untamed African bush on foot. Please note the walking safari maintains strict group limits with no more than eight participants at a time, making advance booking essential. The team collects you directly from your accommodation in the early morning, then takes you to Mosi-oa-Tunya National Park, where the adventure begins.
