Are you tackling a decision of what kind of adventure travels you want to try on your next vacation? Choosing the right adventure trip can be difficult. There are so many options available! These are some of our top adventure vacations.
If you get joy from the outdoors and like to use your survival skills for living off the land, why not go on an Australian Walkabout? These have become trendy especially after one of the main actors on the TV show “Lost” made an attempt to go on one. The original concept of an Australian Walkabout is for you and your co-adventurers to get out into the Australian Outback, while being guided. When you get out on a walkabout, you are only living off the land. You hunt for and gather your own food, make your own shelter from any materials you can find and experience the “elements” that could come your way (weather, animals, etc). It is like extreme camping and can make you feel really good.
Shark Diving is not really light and easy but it is thrilling! The Shark Diver Company has diving packages that allow you to dive with the sharks in California and Mexico. These types of adventure travels are not cheap. Most are around three thousand dollars per person. But most of these vacations are at least five days long. Make sure you have your diving certification before you go, though. You wouldn’t want to have to sit up on the boat the whole time!
Are you a food connoisseur? Do you tantalize the idea of learning about and taste testing cuisine from around the world? How about going on a culinary tour? For obvious reasons, Italy is among the most popular of destinations for food connoisseurs who want to have the experience of tasting cuisine it its “native habitat.” Ireland, Spain and Greece also offer fabulous “culinary tours.” In addition to tasting the food after it’s prepared, by “native” chefs, these tours also allow you to learn how to cook a variety of dishes on your own. This is a terrific adventure travel for a chef on the rise or any lover of food.
Adventure travels don’t always have to be about a death defying defeat. You can have a glorious adventure vacation without bungee jumping, skydiving or praying a shark won’t nibble on a cage. At the same time, for the adrenaline junkie, the risks taken are only half the excitement of a adventure based vacation.
And how about a family vacation? Instead of packing the kids off for summer camp, why not pitch a tent right next to them. There are so many activities besides the classic marshmallow roast and ghost-story-telling. Stay busy by fishing and hiking or play team sports like badminton or volleyball. Even better, sit in the sun with a book and eat a popsicle.
The trick to taking a truly memorable vacation is to challenge yourself while still having fun. Get on with it!
