A Closer Look At Popular Adventure Tours

By Judy Miller


Adventure tours are truly becoming a phenomenon. Just about everyone wants to live life to its fullest. Here is a list of some of the interesting adventure tours of today.

a) Alcatraz Island. The Rock, which is also the name of this San Francisco Island, is also known as a former federal prison from which no prisoner has ever escaped. Offered by many San Francisco tour companies are island cruises and they also provide not only a tour of the former prison itself, but also offers a spectacular view of San Francisco and the Golden Gate during either day or evening tours.

Haunted places. Considered as some of the most fascinating adventure tours are those that include haunted locations and they are also popular worldwide. Everything from haunted hotels to restaurants and even former homes are certainly eligible for inclusion in any list of adventure tours for those who dare.

3. Whale watching. A Hawaiian whale watching excursion is something that is definitely very adventurous and difficult to top. These large creatures migrate to the islands in search of comfortable living and are frequently seen on regular tours offered by charter companies throughout the state.

The Greenbrier Hotel. The Greenbrier Hotel is located in White Suplphur Springs, West Virginia and is also a popular resort area that attracts both politicians and celebrities around the nation. Aside from its picturesque mountain setting and peaceful serenity, the Greenbrier is also nestled in the hills that made West Virginia famous. Guests were unaware of an underground bunker for years that had been built especially for high levels of government officials. In recent years, tours of the bunker and its underground layout has been offered by the hotel.

e) Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls is therefore the perfect place for all waterfall lovers if you believe that bigger is better. Local companies offer boat tours that provide a closeup view of the falls and area hotels that offer spectacular views of one of nature's most spectacular creations.

6. Africa safari. If you have a taste for true adventure and if you love animals, then there is nothing more suited for you than an African safari. You will see some of the world's most amazing animals here in their natural habitat and running freely in the wild. Being truly adventurous would mean that an African tour is bound to quench your thirst.

g) Hawaiian 7-island tour. A Hawaiian 7-island tour is perhaps not adventurous in the way many think but it is definitely an adventure in its own right. Yours for the viewing in the state of Hawaii is everything from hiking up to the top of an active volcano that has been constantly erupting for years on the Big Island to helicopter tours over untouched paradise. And when you are through being adventurous, there is always the relaxation of the rolling ocean waves to calm your nerves after a long day.
