We are living in the fastest rat race that we’ve ever been involved in, so it makes sense that we would want to pack life with as much adventure as possible. Life gets busy and that ache to be carefree and happy just gets stronger. Every single person wants to – at some point – do something different from their daily life and routines. Change makes you feel alive, and it gives you the boost to do something new. Sometimes, we watch the sun come up and feel excited to be alive. Other times, we book a vacation that’s packed with the chance for adventure just to feel something big.
Everything is possible in this day and age, and with the list below, you can do some of the most adventurous things EVER on the next vacation that you book. You can learn more about sailing across the Drake Passage in this comprehensive guide, and you can learn just how many adventures there are to try – as long as we have the guts to do it! So, with this in mind, here are some of the most adventurous things that you can try out on vacation.
- Skydiving
Jump out of a plane, you say? Absolutely – it’s one of the biggest thrills you could ever have because it forces you to face your fear of heights, flying and death all in one. When you skydive you trust your instructor with your life, and you jump from heights of up to 15,000 feet with the hope your parachute opens and you float to safety. The chance to fall with style? You’re the real Buzz Lightyear.
- Zip lining
If you have the chance to join in on a tree top adventure on vacation, do it. You need to have a breakthrough experience at least once in life and you are kept safe with your harness. You can feel like you’re flying and you are secure – you get the adrenaline rush and the thrill without the danger!
- Climb a bridge
It doesn’t sound like a lot but we’re not talking about just crossing a bridge. We’re talking about climbing it. Going up to the very top of the Golden Gate Bridge is far more impressive than just walking the sidewalk! Auckland Bridge in New Zealand is famous for this adventure!
- River rafting
A big adventure is taking on the elements and you can really do that with river rafting. You can feel like you’re flying through the waves and crashing around the water without hitting the rocks! You will find that you are in the best of scenery and you can enjoy a thrilling experience that will take your breath away.
- Bungee jumping
In the same streak as skydiving, this one you’re free falling and held by the legs! You bounce back up and you get to take control of your life by simply jumping into adventure.
Whether you book an adventure break or you take a break filled with adventure, do it. Even once!
