How to Have an Active Vacation Adventure

For some people a good vacation involves relaxing on a beach or in a mountain cabin. They imagine being waited on hand and foot and a stress free trip. For some people, a fabulous vacation includes adventure!

These are people who like to live in the moment. They like to interact with their fellow travelers. Does this describe you? Are you speculating about the type of adventure travels you should partake on for your next vacation? Picking the adventure trip that is right can be challenging. There are so many things to take part in! Here are some of our favorite adventure vacations.

If you like being in the outdoors and trying to survive and live off the land, why not take an Australian Walkabout? These have gained popularity since one of the main characters form the television show Lost attempted to go on one. The idea behind an Australian Walkabout is that you and your fellow adventurers head out into the Australian Outback with a guide. You solely live off the land, when participating in a walkabout. You hunt for and gather your own food, make your own shelter from any materials you can find and experience the "elements" that could come your way (weather, animals, etc). It can be described as extreme camping and can be very satisfying. Palawan hotels is a must if you want to enjoy a vacation.

Are you an experienced hunter but getting bored of the wild game on your side of the mountain? Why not get out on a hunting travel safari?

Nearly every continent has a specific type of tour and companies that will teach you how to hunt the game available on their local terrain. Do you dream of hunting large (non-endangered) game in Africa? You can bring your dreams to life. Are you more into hunting in the wilds of the American west? You can do that, as well. The biggest choice you have on a hunting expedition is choosing what you want to hunt. From there it is all simply a matter of logistics like: "how am I going to get my hunting equipment there or are they going to provide it?"

Take a Llama Trek! Everybody can ride a horse. Hurricane Creek Llama Treks in Oregon are a great way to have some wacky adventure travels without having to leave the country. During the llama treks you camp out and are responsible for bringing your own gear, setting it up, taking it down, packing your llama bags and unpacking your llama bags. These trips are great because you can choose to ride your llama along in the Oregon wilderness or you can walk on your own two feet and lead your Llama with you. Can you think of any other time in your life when you are going to get to ride a llama?

Adventure travels don't always have to be about a death defying defeat. You can have an exquisite adventure vacation without bungee jumping, skydiving or hoping a shark won't destroy a cage. Meanwhile, that is only half the excitement of any adventure-based vacation, for an adrenaline addict.

The key to having a real adventurous vacation is to get out of your comfort zone while still having an enjoyable time. Get out and do it!
