What was your last vacation like? Did you have fun? Did you find excitement? Was there some leisure too or did your last vacation consist of shuttling your family around, doing yard work and other chores? Was your last “vacation” actually a “staycation”? Why not go for something different 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. Most likely, there are many adventures to be had in your home state. If you have money burning a hole in your pocket, why not experience a true adventure? Here are some incredibly trendy adventure travels.

If you enjoy being outside and using your survival skills to live off the land, why not try an Australian Walkabout? These have become trendy especially after one of the main actors on the TV show Lost made an attempt to go on one. The thought for an Australian Walkabout is that you and your adventure pals go out into the Australian Outback with a guide. When you are participating on a walkabout, you completely live off the land. You gather your own food, construct your own shelter from the available materials and take on any “elements” that might come your way (weather, wild animals, etc). It is kind of like extreme camping and can be incredibly fulfilling.

If you enjoy extreme adventure travel, why not think about taking a hot air balloon to parts unknown? Have you thought about a white water rafting adventure? Have you kicked the idea around of Bungee jumping? Some people get their kicks by going sky diving. Seemingly, there are spots to do this in many different towns. With an extreme adventure vacation, it is possible to go skydiving over the Grand Canyon. Take a ride in a hot air balloon across the Australian outback. When you want to go to extremes the world is your oyster. Many extreme vacationers are attracted to India, for paragliding. Why not try that out?

Do you yearn to be on a motorcycle tour for a few weeks? Of course, you could hook up with a motorcycle club in your home area, but what fun could that possibly be? For the true adventure travel lovers, they get a kick out of taking a motorcycle journey in a place far away from home.

What better way to do that than to go on a motorcycle tour of New Zealand and Australia? Harley Davidson offers touring trips of Australia. New Zealand has several outfits that provide tours and guided trips that can be taken on a motorcycle. The biggest challenge will be getting there. Though, once you reach that destination, you’ll never want to leave!
