Are you sick of having to use all of your vacation time for visiting your family? Are you fed up with having to sit on a couch and watch television with your parents because they would have made you feel bad about choosing something else for your vacation time? Getting over the guilt can be hard. At the same time, every once in a while you need to take a vacation that you can enjoy. Why not go off on an adventure the next time you decide to take a vacation? Heck you could probably fit in a weekend adventure trek and still have time to sit on your parents’ couch and look through old photo albums. Here are some adventure travels you should try.
Dog sledding can be a wonderful adventure! You might be under the impression that dog sledding is a professional sport and not for amateurs. If you’re thinking about the Iditarod, then you are right. If you just want to explore the sport a little bit and have some fun, Alaskan Husky Adventures is what you need. This group offers adventurers three or two day packages. You buy your own groceries, stay in their cabins and then during the day you get taught the basics of dog sledding by professionals and sometimes you are given guided tours.
If you’re into extreme adventure travels, why not take a hot air balloon trip somewhere? How about doing some white water rafting? Have you kicked the idea around of Bungee jumping? Some people are titillated by skydiving. Of course, there are various locations around the world you can do this. One option for an extreme adventure vacation is skydiving. Take a hot air balloon tour across amazing landscapes, this is one of the most popular things to do napa valley. The world is a giant playground when you become an extreme adventurer. One crowd-pleasing extreme vacation is paragliding in India. Why not explore the skies?
Have you ever played with the idea of a deep-sea fishing trip? Most people don’t think about fishing, when they think about adventure travels. However, when you are out in the middle of the big blue sea, fishing is totally new. In addition to maneuvering the catching of a big fish, you are fighting the elements of the sea. Being out on the sea can be unpredictable. The type of deep sea fish that you want to catch will help you pick your destination. Of course, if you want, you can also pick your destination by climate and “home base” scenery. One hallowed destination for deep-sea fishing is Hawaii.
Adventure travels are not always about doing something death defying. You can have a perfectly adventurous vacation without bungee jumping, sky diving or hoping that a shark won’t bite through a cage. On the same line, for the adrenaline driven, that haphazard chance is only half the fun of an adventure based vacation.
The key to having a real adventurous vacation is to get out of your comfort zone while still having an enjoyable time. Get out and do it! About the Author
