How much expendable income do you have, what's your risk tolerance, how much time do you have, are you afraid of heights, how athletic are you.

Answer these and you'll narrow it down.

I second BJJ if you are into competitive shit. I started about 6 months ago and I'm addicted to the mats. If you want something more calm or non-competitive hiking, mountain biking, trail running, etc. is also stuff I considered.

Not OP
But high expendable income, high risk tolerance, inconsistent free time (usually low, occasionally high), afraid of heights but very athletic. Bonus points if the sport gives me an excuse to travel

I'd suggest bouldering. I got into in my early 30s and I love it. I wish I'd started sooner.

Here's some reasons;

1. Low barrier for entry: bouldering gyms start at a low level accessible to everyone

2. It's pretty ubiquitous these days: I've yet to go to a city that doesn't have some kind of bouldering gym

3. Very little specialised equipment required. (Just some shoes and a chalk bag, both of which can be rented from a gym)

5. It's super fun: Combines video game like problem solving with a nice physical challenge

6. Lots of sitting: Bouldering is a pretty lazy sport. A minute or so of explosive power followed by lots of sitting and thinking

7. The community is great: everyone I've met doing this has been helpful, non toxic and non-judgemental.

DEFINITELY spearfishing/freediving.
Unless you live far from the ocean or landlocked country

Scuba is cool, but hear me out, freediving is actually a sport scuba is more of an activity

The big 3 I see people in there 20s and 30s doing who weren't scholastic athletes are powerlifting, BJJ, and triathlons.

All 3 are great and will by sheer fact of how hard they go rebuild your body if you weren't previously an athlete in any area.

I know so many people who were skinny-fat dorks at high school and college not on any of the sports teams, who are competition winners in one of those 3 disciplines in their 30s and beasts compared to average dudes their age.

Bouldering is good. Inexpensive, great strength and flexibility training, possibility to try lead with rope and harness if you really like it.

Consider powersports. Motorcycling/dirtbiking will let you explore, provide that adrenaline and it can be a social hobby or a mentally stimulating one.

It can also function as low-impact exercise. Throwing around a couple 100lbs machine will give you a bit of muscle tone depending on how often you ride.
