Planning an Exciting and Adventurous Vacation

Some people consider a nice vacation to be staying near a pleasant beach or in a secluded cabin. They imagine being treated like royalty and not a stressful moment. For others, a good vacation involves adventure!

These are people who enjoy getting out and being active. They enjoy mingling with fellow travelers. Does this sound like you? Are you tackling a decision of what kind of adventure travels you want to try on your next vacation? Selecting the perfect adventure trip can be a daunting task. Ample adventuresome opportunities abounds! Here are some of our favorite adventure vacations.

Do you enjoy photography? Have you always dreamed of photographing the world's most famous locales? This is the specialist of a company called Photo Explorer Tours. These are world tours, led by photographers known around the world. 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 site-specific tours, with specific places and 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! El Nido is a must if you want to stay.

Shark Diving is not for the light hearted but it can be incredibly exciting. The Shark Diver Company has package deals that allow you to explore the sharks of California and Mexico. You should know, though, that these types of adventure travels are very expensive. A single person can usually spend around three thousand dollars for the trip. Most of these trips take at least five days. You will need to be certified in diving before you go on a trip like this. Otherwise you might get stuck sitting in the boat for the entire trip!

The festivals in your visits to El Nido Hotels are must tries. You should not miss the opportunity. Are you a food connoisseur? Do you drool when you learn about and taste cuisine from around 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 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 an ideal vacation for any chef wanna-be or any food lover.

Not all adventure travels have to be about risking your life. You can have a wonderfully adventurous vacation without bungee jumping, skydiving or praying a shark won't bit through a cage. At the same time, for the adrenaline junkie, the risks taken are only half the excitement of a 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 on with it!
