How did you like your last vacation? Did you have a blast? Were you entertained? Was there some leisure too or did your last vacation consist of shuttling your family around, doing yard work and other chores? Did your last “vacation” end up being a “staycation”? Why not go for something out of the ordinary this year? When you have a short time off, why not look into some of the various adventure travels that may be available in your backyard. Even if you don’t go outside your home state there are tons of adventures to be had. If you are just dying to spend your money, why not pamper yourself with a true adventure? These are some adventure travels that are quite favorable.

Dog sledding can be a wonderful adventure! You probably think that dog sledding is something that only professionals do. If you’re thinking about the Iditarod, you’re 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. This group offers adventurers three or two day packages. During the day you are given guided tours and trained on the sleds by trained professionals and then during the evenings you relax in the cabins (you need to take your own food).

If you like some excitement and adventure, try Shark Diving! 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 need to be certified in diving before you go on a trip like this. You don’t want to get stuck on the boat for your whole vacation!

Do you enjoy the thought of being right up close to large animals? Have you always yearned to see different animals in their natural habitats? Why not venture on an African Safari. There are tours that go all over the continent of Africa. Decide on one of the many trusted outfits and allow them to show you where to see hippos, elephants and giraffes in the natural habitat. View prides of lions and packs of hyenas. Watch birds you only have see within the zoo. If you are a animal lover, a Safari is without a doubt a terrific experience adventure travels.
Adventure travels do not have to be far-reaching, sky-high and totally outrageous. Some of them involve daytime trips, while returning to a peaceful setting for the evening. The main purpose of an adventure vacation is to have an amusing time, while being active. Luckily, there is something for almost every adventurer to do – even if they one have a short vacation time in which to do it. When you begin making arrangements for your next vacation, why not participate in an adventurer’s lifestyle? You can go to a calming spa for another vacation.
