The mere thought of adventure holidays itself is enough to send me into a frenzy of excitement. I love travelling and exploring new places is something that I absolutely love doing. Adventure travel destinations have a rugged charm which beats anything that a fancy five star hotel has to offer. Being amidst nature, in the great outdoors, doing what you love doing, makes life worth living.
So what should one do on an adventure vacation? There are a number of exotic adventure activities that one can embark on, to satisfy one’s appetite for adventure.
Hiking:
This is one of the most basic adventure activities and something that most people have already done. But be sure to be armed with the right hiking boots and safety gear. You don’t want to end up hurt or worse, in pain, throughout your little adventure vacation!
There are various hiking organizations which take people to different adventure travel destinations. The best part is you’ll be entirely safe throughout your vacation under the watchful eye of your instructor, who will guide you through the entire process.
Water Sports
Love the beach? Love Adventure? The best way to combine these two is to go to a beach and indulge in a variety of water sports. Enjoy the sun, sand and a healthy dose of adventure. Enjoy a variety of activities like paragliding, kayaking, jet skiing, rafting, rowing, skinny dipping and a variety of other water sports. There’s nothing like playing with water to indulge your adventurous streak.
Add to that all the conventional water sports like surfing, water skiing, windsurfing, yachting, scuba diving, kite surfing etc and your adventure holidays will be complete and you will have a memorable experience. What is best about water sports is that it can easily be made into a family activity which everyone in your family can enjoy, including the little ones. This is simply because it is so safe. Most beaches and water sports’ companies always have the requisite safety gear.
Rock Climbing:
Love the mountains? Try this adventure sport and experience pure bliss. But this comes with a warning. You are not to perform this activity if you have not had adequate practice; this is one of those adventure sports which come with a warning. If you’re not fit enough or don’t have the best quality safety equipment then this could get ugly and I’m assuming that you would like to get back from your adventure travel destination(s) in one piece!
Try out the adventure specials from different travel agents. You’ll have a whale of a time. But do make sure that you go in for only trusted and reputed travel agents because adventure tourism has a high risk factor, aside from the adrenalin rushes that make it so special.
