Below are some choices for people who get bored of always taking the same type of vacation.

If you enjoy being outside and using your survival skills to live off the land, why not try an Australian Walkabout? These have increased in popularity, especially since one of the main characters on the TV show Lost tried one out. The original thought for an Australian Walkabout was for you and your fellow adventurers to get out into the Australian Outback on a guided tour. When you get out on a walkabout, you are only living off the land. 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 is similar to extreme camping and can give you a natural high.|It may be hard to believe, but some cruises are considered adventure travels. Some cruises with specific docking places, such as Europe or the Greek Isles can be a fantastic way to get out and discover some joy in learning about some amazing moments in history and touring historical sites. Aren't you curious to tour the setting where the first Olympic games took place? Don't you want to see Stonehenge up close? There are many options to keep you active while on the boat. These cruises usually come with opportunities to do things like rock climbing and sea diving. There is plenty to do, besides lying on the lido deck!|Mountain climbing is an excellent example of extreme adventure travels. The West Coast Mountain Guides take adventuring tourists out on climbing expeditions on a regular basis. You can pick from locations throughout the western Canadian provinces. Excursionists have a choice of rock climbing, ice climbing or even snow mountaineering. If you are yearning for adventure, they will take you on a journey that involves all three.

Before you head out on one of these vacations, however, make sure you are in top physical shape. Mountain climbing feats are not for the lethargic and physically unfit population!|Dog sledding is an awesome adventure! You might be under the impression that dog sledding is a professional sport and not for amateurs. If you're thinking about the Iditarod, then you are right. If, however, you just want to learn what it is like to go dog sledding and to have an adventure you should try the package deals at Alaskan Husky Adventures. You can have two and three day adventures with this group. You take up your own groceries and sleep in the cabins they provide and during the day you are given lessons on sledding and taken on tours by the trained professionals on staff.|Are you a photography enthusiast? Have you always wanted to photograph world famous landscapes? Photo Explorer Tour can make your dream come true. These are tours around the globe, led by internationally recognized photographers. The company comes up with tours of places throughout the world. If you haven't decided where you want to go, that's fine. Organize your vacation during a convenient time for you and then just join a group. Photo World Tours plans specific tours to specific places on specific dates. When you have available vacation time, just meet up with another group of tourists and go along with them wherever they are going. Get caught up in the spontaneity of it!

Dude Ranches can be terrific excursions for the entire family. The Ponderosa Ranch in Nebraska gives you an opportunity for laborious work and an exciting ranch vacation. You can occupy the ranch's guest cabins. During the day you get the experience of what it's like to be a real-life working ranch hand. Guests ride horseback and help out by rounding up and driving the ranch's cattle from one pasture location to another. At night there are campfire stories to be shared, some home cooking to be enjoyed and some excellent activities to participate in. When you have free time, you have several options to choose from, including hunting, fishing, hiking and riding horses. This is a great vacation for families because people of all ages and skill levels are welcome.|

If you like extreme adventure travels, why not think about climbing into a hot air balloon and going somewhere? Why not try out white water rafting? Have you acknowledged the idea of Bungee jumping? Some people are stimulated with a rush of excitement from skydiving. Undoubtedly, you can find places to do this in many towns. One option for an extreme adventure vacation is skydiving over the Grand Canyon. Partake on a hot air balloon adventure over the Australian outback. When you make the choice to go to the extremes, the entire world is your playing field. For individuals interested in extreme vacations, India is notorious for paragliding. Why not try that on for size?|

Are you an avid hunter but getting tired of the wild game available for hunting in your neck of the woods? Why not get out on a hunting travel safari?

Nearly every continent has a specific type of tour and companies that will teach you how to hunt the game available on their local terrain. Do you have a dream of hunting big (non-endangered) game in Africa? You can bring your dreams to life. Are you into hunting out in the wild west of America? 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. 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?"|

Shark Diving is not for the faint of heart but it is incredibly exciting. The Shark Diver Company sells package deals that take you to the sharks of Mexico and California. A word of warning: these adventure travels are expensive. These trips typically cost about three thousand dollars per person. But most of these trips last for at least five days. You will want to make sure that you already have your diving certification before you go. You don't want to get stuck on the boat for your whole vacation!|Do you get a thrill from sightseeing? Do you love the thought of being able to explore the places you've only read about in books? Why not go on a sightseeing adventure travel to a destination you have always dreamed of going to? Attractive tourist destinations include Greece, Rome, Ireland and Scotland, Africa, China and Tibet. Obviously there are sightseeing tours in just about every country in the world, so just decide where you want to go and sign up for a touring trip! Allow a guide to teach you about your chosen country's culture and history.

Are you a food connoisseur? Do you enjoy learning about and trying cuisine form around the world? Why not try a culinary tour? By all means, Italy is among the height of popularity when it comes to food destinations and people who want to try cuisine in it "native habitat." Ireland, Spain and Greece also have amazing "culinary tours." These kinds of tours not only allow you to sample the food after it's prepared by "native" chefs, but you also learn how to prepare a variety of dishes yourself. This is the perfect adventure travel for an aspiring chef or anybody who loves food.|Have you ever thought about taking a deep sea fishing trip? Very few individuals think about fishing as an adventure travel. At any rate, fishing becomes a completely new adventure when you are out in the middle of a giant blue ocean. In addition to maneuvering the catching of a big fish, you are fighting the elements of the sea. Being out on the sea can be unpredictable. The type of deep sea fish that you want to catch will help you pick your destination. However, if you prefer, you can always choose your location based on climate and "home base" scenery. One popular deep sea fishing point is Hawaii.|Do you idolize about spending a few weeks out on the open road on a motorcycle adventure? Sure you could join a motorcycle club at home but where is the fun in that? For true adventure travel lovers, the joy is in taking a motorcycle trip in a land far away.

What is a better option than going on a motorcycle escapade in New Zealand and Australia? Australia has touring adventures offered by Harley Davidson. New Zealand has offers from many different companies for tours and guided trips that allow you to just hop on a motorcycle. The most troublesome thing is finding your way there. Although, once you arrive, you won't ever want to leave!|Go for a Llama Trek! Anybody can do some 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. 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 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?|Do you enjoy the thought of being right up close to large animals? Have you always dreamed of seeing exotic animals in their native habitats? Why not go on an African Safari. There are tours that go all around the African continent. Choose from one of many trusted businesses and let them show you the native lands of hippos, elephants and giraffes. View prides of lions and packs of hyenas. See birds that you've only seen in the zoo. An adventure travel cut out for an animal love is definitely a Safari.

There are countless ways an "adventure travel" can be defined. For some it includes outrageous activities like climbing the highest mountains in the world or experience crazy climate 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 involve learning new things while maintaining a fairly easy pace. The short story is: it doesn't matter what your interests are, there is an adventure vacation designed for you!|

Adventure travels do not have to be far-reaching, sky-high and totally outrageous. Sometimes they involve taking daytime adventures while returning to a relaxing setting at night. The main goal of an adventure vacation is just to have fun and get your blood pumping. Fortunately, there are adventures for just about everyone - even if they only have a couple days worth of vacation to accomplish it. When you begin making arrangements for your next vacation, why not participate in an adventurer's lifestyle? You can pick a pleasant spa for your vacation after.|

Not all adventure travels have to be dangerous and life threatening. You can have an exquisite adventure vacation without bungee jumping, skydiving or hoping a shark won't destroy a cage. At the same time, for the adrenaline fueled, that risk is half of the fun of any adventure based vacation.

The trick to taking a real adventurous journey is to put yourself up to a challenge and still have a terrific time. Get out and do it!|

Adventure travels don't have to be super expensive (though they can run a little high sometimes). They do not have to be lengthy vacations. Some only last a day or two! Why would you choose to let yourself sit around feeling bored when you could choose to spend your vacation having fun and adventures? Thanks to the sheer variety of adventure travels available, your hardest decision will be deciding up on a location and an activity. Have fun!|A reason for adventure travels is to get people to step beyond the boundaries of their comfort zone. They help you to explore different sides of your personality that are usually hidden. Are you sick of being on your couch and fantasizing about what life could be like in another part of the world? Have you always thought about mountain climbing, swimming in the sea with dolphins or camping in the wilds 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.
