Three Adventure Travel Ideas


Palawan Pumpboat by Joseph A Ferris III


Do you get tired of spending all of your vacations with your family? Are you tired of sitting on a couch and watching television with your parents because doing something else during your vacation time would make you feel guilty? It can be hard to get over those guilty feelings. At the same time, every once in a while you need to take a vacation that you can enjoy. Why not decide to have a real adventure the next time you have some free time? You might even be able to fit in a weekend adventure trek and still be able to make stop at your parent's house. You might like the following adventure travels.

is a must if you want to stay.

Lots of people think of dog sledding as a fantastic adventure! You probably think that dog sledding is something that only professionals do. If you're thinking about the Iditarod, then you are right. If, however, you just want to have a great adventure and try out a little bit of dog sledding, you should try out Alaskan Husky Adventures. This group offers adventurers three or two day packages. Simply take up a few days worth of groceries and relax--during the day you'll be taught the basics of sledding with dogs and go on guided tours offered by professional sledders.

Are you a hunter but looking for different game to hunt than what is available in your area? Why not get out on a hunting travel excursion?

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 yearn to go hunting in Africa for giant (non-endangered) game? You can make it happen. Do you desire to get out into the wild west of America and hunt their big game? You can even 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. From that point the only thing you need to do is figure out logistics, like: "how will I get my hunting gear there or will they provide it?"

Go for a Llama Trek! Everybody has gone horseback riding. If you want some wacky adventure travels without leaving the US, you can opt for the Hurricane Creek Llama Treks in Oregon. During these treks, you camp outdoors and you are responsible for bringing your own equipment (and setting it up/taking it down) and packing and unpacking your llama bags. These types of adventure travels are great because they let you choose--you can either ride your llama or walk the trails yourself and lead the llama with you. When else in your life will you have the chance to go llama riding? There are countless ways an "adventure travel" can be defined. For some adventurers, it includes thrill-seeking activities, like climbing the world's highest mountains or experiencing extreme weather conditions. For some it includes some type of challenge they are not accustomed to, such as driving cattle, hiking on other terrain, etc. Still for others, adventure travels include some learning time for new things and still having a stress-free trip. The short story is: it doesn't matter what your interests are, there is an adventure vacation designed for you!
