Some people enjoy seeing the world as typical tourists, when
it is safe and presented in comfortable, luxury packages. However, there are
also those with a taste for adventure. They enjoy embarking on epic journeys as
a part of their holiday and exploring places in a unique but thrilling way.
Fun Activities
Adrenaline junkies should not book “regular” sightseeing
tours. Most locations offer so many other fun activities that could turn your
holiday into a true adventure, although these are not usually as widely
advertised. Your tour operator will know the best deals and packages that will
suit your taste. Activities on offer may vary from hiking, ballooning, raft
riding, bungee jumping and snorkeling to horseback riding, trekking or
kayaking, depending on your location. Many tour operators will also offer an
itinerary that offers multiple fun activities or even create tailor-made
adventure holidays, depending on the requirements of your group.
Keep It Small
If you are looking to book an adventure tour, be sure to ask
your tour operator how big the group will be. The smaller the group, the more
intense your experience will be and the more information you are likely to get
from your travel guide. Another benefit of a small group is that your guide
will often adapt to the needs and level of experience of the people in your
group, making it a lot more relaxed and fun. There is nothing more frustrating
than waiting for members of a large group to catch up with the rest after they
have wandered off.
You Don’t Have To
Travel Far
Americans have a wide selection of adventure getaways to
choose from, without having to travel to the end of the world to enjoy them.
Have you ever tried river rafting down the Grand Canyon? Enjoy the thrill of
the rapids, relax in the calmer pools while staring up at the Canyon and
explore the hidden caves and waterfalls carved by the mighty Colorado.
If you are fond of water activities, a canoe expedition on
the Yukon River might be just for you. This is a journey that takes you through
the beautiful forests and pristine lakes of Canada while traveling up the
former Gold Rush route. To experience untouched nature, a tour through Alaska
comes highly recommended. Kayak past icebergs, hike through unspoilt forests
and enjoy many unexpected wildlife encounters.
The Inca trail in Peru is a certain must-do if you are an
active person. It is one of the world’s most famous hikes, with awesome
mountain views on the way to the stunning and mysterious Machu Picchu, the lost
city.
Belize, Mexico and Guatemala are three more exciting, exotic
locations that are often included in multi-activity adventure holidays. Explore
the ancient pyramids, snorkel in the Caribbean Sea and enjoy the pulsing cities
with their rich and diverse cultures.
An Experience You
Will Never Forget
It doesn’t matter which tour you decide to book; if you
ensure it includes a lot of fun activities, it will be an experience you will
never forget. Get off the beaten track and enjoy life to the fullest.
