The Ultimate Vacation Experience for Adventure Seekers

By Harriet Lyons


Is it a daunting task to decide where to go for your next vacation? Have you lost interested in your usual vacation spot? Some people can only handle so much shopping, gambling and sunning on the beach, right? Have you ever considered a vacation that is bases on adventure travels? These types of trips were meant for people like you, who want to get out into the great outdoors, test your limits and get active. Many individuals let their savings pile up so they can travel on more far-reaching adventure vacations. Fortunately, there are many that don't cost your lifetime of savings. These are some excellent ideas for your next trip.

Are you a photography enthusiast? Have you always wanted to photograph the world's most famous vistas? This is the specialist of a company called Photo Explorer Tours. These are international tours led by internationally renowned photographers. The company puts together tours of destinations around the world. It is okay if you are still unsure of where you want to travel. You can join a group, after making travel plans that are convenient for your time schedule. Photo World Tours plans site-specific tour, along with specific dates. Just go wherever the tour is going when you have time to take a vacation. Embrace the spontaneous lifestyle!

Shark Diving isn't exactly light hearted but it is very exciting! The Shark Diver Company has package deals for adventurers that will allow them to shark dive in Mexico or California. You should know, though, that these types of adventure travels are very expensive. Most are around three thousand dollars per person. But most of these vacations are at least five days long. You will want to make sure that you already have your diving certification before you go. You don't want to spend your whole vacation stuck on the boat!

Go on a Llama Trek! Anybody can go horseback riding. If you want some funky adventure travels but don't have the money to travel outside of the US, check out the Hurricane Creek Llama Treks in Oregon. When you take one of these treks you will camp out--you're responsible for bringing your own gear (as well as setting it up and taking it down) as well as for packing and unpacking your llama bags. These treks are fun because they let you choose between riding the llamas or walking and leading the llamas along with you. How many other times in your life will you be able to ride llamas?

Almost every continent features tours and companies that will teach you how to hunt the game that is found in that local area. Do you have a desire to go hunting in Africa for the larger-than-life (non-endangered) wild animals? You can bring your dreams to life. Do you dream of getting out in the wilds of western America for hunting? You can also do that. The most crucial decision you'll have to make for a hunting adventure is what type of animal you want to go hunting for. Next it is as simple as figuring out logistics like: "how can I get my hunting equipment out there or will the outfit me with the necessities?"

Are you a foodie? Do you love to learn about and try cuisine from all over the world? Why not do 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 have amazing "culinary tours." These types of tours give you more than just the option to try food prepared by a "native" chef but also to learn how to cook it for yourself. This is a great adventure travel for an up and coming chef or any food connoisseur. The point of adventure travels is to get people outside of their comfort zones. They allow you to explore sides of your personality that you don't usually share with others. Are you fed up with being a couch potato and fantasizing about what life could be like on the other side of the world? Have you always had the desire to climb a tall mountain, hug a dolphin or camp in the Outback of Australia or New Zealand? Each of these can be achieved from you. Simply choose what kind of adventure you want and then go out and have it. It's not as complicated as my think it is.
