When we head away on a holiday, people tend to automatically assume that we’re seeking relaxation and recuperation.
But what about those of us who can’t sit still for longer than a few minutes? Those of us who want to experience life to its extremes?
Well, the good news is that there are holidays out there for you too! Here are a few ways that you can incorporate a little adrenaline into your travel!
Hike to a High Altitudes
Why remain on the ground when you can quite literally take your adventures to new heights?
The world is host to all sorts of stunning mountains, and you can take in some truly breathtaking sights when you start reaching high altitudes. But at the same time, you want to ensure that you are safe at all times when climbing these peaks.
So, if you want to try this kind of trip out but want to be accompanied by professionals when you need them, take a look at Kandoo Adventures. This agency makes challenging destinations accessible to individuals of all skill sets and ability levels. They also have a dedication to safety, so that you can go on a challenging adventure without compromising your health and well being!
Cliff Jumping
Anywhere with a coastline is going to have cliffs too. Cliff jumping or cliff diving is perhaps one of the most straightforward extreme sports out there. You quite literally just jump off the cliff into the sea. You get the thrill of falling through the air, then splash into calm waters at the bottom.
However, if you do engage with this type of activity, make sure to know what you’re doing.
As you can imagine, there are various dangers that can come with cliff jumping. You need to be absolutely sure that the water at the bottom of the cliff is free of rocks and is deep enough to accommodate your fall. Remember that the tides change, so while the water may be deep enough at one time of day, it may be much too shallow at another. Debris can also move across the bottom of the seabed, so a space that is usually safe may become dangerous thanks to a rock or other materials being pulled in by the tide.

Kite Surfing
If you’d like to stay a little closer to ground level, why not consider kitesurfing? Kitesurfing is a wind powered water sport where you make use of both a kite and a board to move across the water at high speed. It works best on flat surface water, so if you’re near a beach that doesn’t have choppy or wavey waters, this really might be the activity for you!
These are just a couple of adrenaline-inducing activities that you can try out while you’re away from home.
Just always remember that while it may be great to get a kick, each extreme activity often comes hand in hand with danger, so always be supervised by a professional and take the right safety measures.
