As pickleball continues to surge in popularity across the United States, its reach is expanding far beyond local courts. More players are now packing their paddles and passports, turning their love of the game into international adventures that combine competition, culture, and connection.

Navigo Pickleball Vacations, a leader in pickleball travel experiences, has seen this movement firsthand. Our custom-designed trips invite players to explore some of the world’s most captivating destinations, places like Costa Rica, Italy, France, Spain, Scotland, and California’s wine country, while enjoying professional instruction and guided play in breathtaking settings.

The concept, known as sports tourism, is reshaping how people view travel. Instead of sightseeing from the sidelines, participants are staying active, connecting with other players, and immersing themselves in global experiences. A Navigo trip might include morning games overlooking the Mediterranean, a zipline adventure in Costa Rica, or a wine tasting after a day on the courts in Sonoma.

With pickleball’s rapid rise and a growing appetite for experiential travel, Navigo’s programs represent the next evolution of active vacations, where play, exploration, and camaraderie meet.
