Looking For a Family Vacation Adventure?

How would you describe your last vacation? Did you have a pleasant time? Did you find something fun to do? Was there some relaxing time also or did your last vacation consist of you toting your family around, doing some work around the yard and other household chores? Was your last "vacation" essentially a "staycation"? Why not go for something different this year? When you have a few days off why not try one of the many adventure travels that is available in your local area. Most likely, there are many adventures to be had in your home state. If you can afford to spend a little more, why not treat yourself to a true adventure? Here are some of the adventure travels that have become incredibly popular.

Mountain climbing is an excellent example of extreme adventure travels. The West Coast Mountain Guides regularly take adventure travelers out on climbing expeditions. You can take a pick from various destinations throughout the western Canadian provinces. Excursionists have a choice of rock climbing, ice climbing or even snow mountaineering. If you're looking for a thrilling experience, they will take you out on a trip that involves all three.

Before you head out on one of these vacations, however, make sure you are in top physical shape. Mountain climbing expeditions are not meant for lackadaisical and physically unfit individuals! El Nido is a must if you want to relax.

If you like some excitement and adventure, try Shark Diving! The Shark Diver Company has package deals that allow you to explore the sharks of California and Mexico. A word of warning: adventure travels like these cost quite a bit of money. These trips typically cost about three thousand dollars per person. But most of these vacations are at least five days long. You will need to be certified in diving before you go on a trip like this. You wouldn't want to have to sit up on the boat the whole time!

The festivals in your visits to El Nido Hotels are must tries. You should not miss the opportunity. Are you a foodie? Do you love to learn about and try cuisine from all over the world? Why not do a culinary tour? For obvious reasons, Italy is among the most popular of destinations for food connoisseurs who want to have the experience of tasting cuisine it its "native habitat." Ireland, Spain and Greece also offer fabulous "culinary tours." These tours not only give you an opportunity to try out the food that has been prepared by a "native" chef, but also allow you to learn to cook a variety of dishes for yourself. This is a great adventure travel for an up and coming chef or any food connoisseur.

Adventure travels don't necessarily have to be lavish, extravagant and flagrant. Some of them include daytime excursions, while coming back to a tranquil environment for the evening. The main purpose of an adventure vacation is to have an amusing time, while being active. Advantageously, there is something for almost every adventurer to participate in - even if there vacation time is limited, in which to accomplish it. When it comes time to plan your next vacation why not take a walk on the adventurer's side? Next time, you can opt for the relaxing spa.
