Destination overview

It’s all about the great outdoors in Arkansas.

Arkansas lives up to its reputation as ‘The Natural State’. Its natural surroundings provide the perfect base for outdoor fun, attracting adventurers to the state for everything from kayaking to rock climbing, hiking and fishing.

Spot elk at Buffalo River, bathe in the Ouachita Mountains Hot Springs or venture into Ozark-St Francis National Forest’s Blanchard Springs Cavern and see the incredible stalactites and stalagmites. For a completely unique experience, try your luck in the Crater of Diamonds, where you can dig for real diamonds from their source.

Golf lovers can tee off at a world-class golf course, wine lovers can explore the Arkansas Wine Country or you can simply drive through the countryside for views that won’t disappoint.

If you’re seeking an urban escape, the capital, Little Rock can fulfil your itinerary. Immerse yourself in the state’s history at a museum, tour the city at your own pace by bicycle, browse markets, feast on fine produce and visit significant historical buildings and sites.
