For some people a fabulous vacation is spending quality time on a beach or in a cabin out in the country. They imagine being waited on hand and foot and a stress free trip. For some, a great vacation includes adventure!
These are people who like to stay active. They enjoy interacting with other tourists. Is this you? Are you attempting to decide on the type of adventure travels you should go on for your next vacation? Selecting the perfect adventure trip can be a daunting task. Ample adventuresome opportunities abounds! Here are some of our favorite adventure vacations.
If you get a thrill from being out in nature and using your survival skills to live off the land, why not participate in 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 go on a walkabout, you are living off the land in its entirety. You search for your own food, construct your own shelf from the items you can find outside and take on any "elements" that could come your way (weather, animals, etc). It can be described as extreme camping and can be very satisfying. Palawan is a must if you want to stay. Dude Ranches can be terrific excursions for the entire family. The Ponderosa Ranch in Nebraska gives you an opportunity for back-breaking work, while at the same time allowing you vacation time on a ranch. You can occupy the ranch's guest cabins. During the day you act as a real working ranch hand. Guests ride horses and help round up and drive the ranch's cattle from one pasture to another. At night there are campfire stories, home cooking and other great activities to take part in. When you have free time, you have several options to choose from, including hunting, fishing, hiking and riding horses. This is a really good vacation for families because they welcome people from all age groups and skill levels.
The festivals in your visits to El Nido Hotels are must tries. You should not miss the opportunity. Go on a Llama Trek! Everybody has gone horseback riding. If you want some fun adventure travels without having to leave the country, check out the Hurricane Creek Llama Treks in Oregon. On these treks you bring your own camping equipment and are solely responsible for all setting up, taking down, packing and unpacking. These trips are great because you can choose to ride your llama along in the Oregon wilderness or you can walk on your own two feet and lead your Llama with you. When else in life are you going to have the chance to go for a llama ride?
Adventure travels don't all have to be reckless and death defying. 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.
The trick to taking a truly adventurous vacation is to challenge yourself while still having fun. Get on with it!
