“Happy birthday to the forever adventurous, fun loving, good times a rollin, gorgeous @elsapataky ❤️😘,” the Thor star captioned the post.
Hemsworth and Pataky, who have been married since December 2010, share three beautiful children: daughter India Rose, 14, and 12-year-old twin sons Sasha and Tristan.
While the Aussie dad often shares videos of his three kids, this post was purely about his and Elsa’s own adventures.
One video showed wife Pataky jumping off a rock into waterfall rock pool, while Hemsworth filmed and watched on.
Another video captured Pataky scaling a cliff against a beautiful tropical sunset.
After nearly 16 years together, it’s clear the couple had countless memories to look back on. Earlier this year Hemsworth revealed the one secret that has kept their spark alive for all that time.
Speaking to PEOPLE in a joint interview in March, Hemsworth and Pataky peeled back the curtain on their idyllic life in Byron Bay in NSW, revealing the key to their marriage, at the end of the day, is simple: honesty.

“There’s an honesty, the north star of truth, that you’re going to get with Elsa. I can show something to a bunch of other people, and they might be like, ‘Oh, great work,’ but Elsa will tell me if it sucks,” Hemsworth said of his acting career.
“I’ll tell him, ‘That’s actually not funny. It doesn’t work,’” Pataky confirmed.
According to Hemsworth, he relies on his wife’s honesty as a “barometer” for everything he does for work and in life.

“It’s like everyone else can tell me one thing, but I know that I’m going to get the absolute truth from her,” he beamed.
“And it’s sometimes dressed up in gentleness from time to time, so that it doesn’t shatter my soul, which I appreciate,” he smiled.
In a speedy marriage that typically spells ‘doom’ for Hollywood relationships, the superstar couple wed within three months of being set up by their agents in 2010.

The actor has been candid about the importance of communication within his relationship on countless occasions in the past.
First and foremost, Hemsworth has also credited the success of their marriage to “fun.”
He went on to say both “having an adventurous spirit, and making time for one another” was essential for a long-lasting bond.
“The complicated times have been when it’s been all work, all kids, and all of a sudden the ‘us’ in the relationship is … sort of non-existent, you’re just managing a household or the work family schedule,” Hemsworth said.
