Adventure travel is most often associated with words such as adrenaline, excitement, extreme sports, great outdoors, the unknown, the out of the ordinary... basically not your regular sit-on-the-beach and read-a-book type of travel.
From trips such as whitewater rafting to climbing Mount Everest, adventure travel is for travelers with an adventurous spirit.
Adventure travel is a significant and growing niche tourism segment. Why? Simply because it is different: it permits the traveler to make its dreams reality, to achieve a challenge never before thought possible.
Just imagine how surreal the following would have sounded not so long ago: I am planning a ski trip jumping out of an helicopter to ski ungroomed snow hills; or I am planning to go down a white water river with some friends by boarding a thick rubber boat called raft; or I am planning to go to the heart of Africa to see wild animals; or I will go trekking in Nepal accompanied by a strange animal called Yak.
Adventure travel truly takes the traveler off the beaten track, to the heart of the destination, and to meet the locals who call it home. If you have a lust for life and a curiosity for culture then Adventure travel is for you.
Travel that will set your heart pounding, open your eyes, and force you to look again at what surrounds you. Because, in the end, a trip of a lifetime isn't about thread counts, umbrella cocktails, or bragging rights. It's about discovering that there's more to the world, and yourself, than you knew.
