For adrenaline junkies seeking heart-pounding adventures and thrilling experiences, the world is full of destinations that offer exhilarating opportunities for excitement and adrenaline-fueled fun. From scaling towering peaks to plunging into the depths of the ocean, these three countries are sure to satisfy your craving for adventure.

New Zealand

Known as the adventure capital of the world, New Zealand is a paradise for adrenaline junkies seeking epic thrills in breathtaking natural landscapes. Embark on a bungee jumping adventure in Queenstown, the birthplace of the sport, and leap off the iconic Kawarau Bridge or the towering Nevis Highwire Platform for an adrenaline rush like no other. Conquer the raging rapids of the Shotover River on a thrilling white-water rafting expedition, or soar above the stunning scenery of Fiordland National Park on a tandem skydiving adventure. Explore the rugged landscapes of the South Island on a mountain biking excursion along the famous Queen Charlotte Track or tackle the challenging slopes of the Remarkables and Cardrona ski resorts for an adrenaline-fueled skiing or snowboarding experience.

Nepal

Home to the world’s highest peaks and most iconic trekking routes, Nepal is a mecca for adrenaline junkies seeking epic mountain adventures. Embark on a trek to the base camp of Mount Everest, the world’s tallest mountain, and experience the awe-inspiring beauty of the Himalayas up close. Test your endurance and bravery on a challenging multi-day trek along the Annapurna Circuit or the Langtang Valley, where you’ll traverse high mountain passes, deep valleys, and remote villages nestled amid towering peaks. For the ultimate adrenaline rush, tackle the world-class rapids of the Bhote Koshi and Trishuli rivers on a white-water rafting expedition, or take to the skies on a tandem paragliding flight above the picturesque landscapes of Pokhara.

Costa Rica

With its diverse ecosystems, lush rainforests, and pristine coastlines, Costa Rica is a playground for adrenaline junkies seeking outdoor adventures in the heart of nature. Explore the rugged terrain of Arenal Volcano National Park on a thrilling canopy zip-line tour, where you’ll soar above the treetops and enjoy panoramic views of the volcanic landscape below. Descend into the depths of the earth on a caving expedition in the Venado Caves or embark on a canyoning adventure in the lush canyons of the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, where you’ll rappel down cascading waterfalls and plunge into crystal-clear pools below. For water enthusiasts, Costa Rica offers world-class surfing, kayaking, and paddleboarding opportunities along its Pacific and Caribbean coasts, as well as thrilling white-water rafting adventures on the Pacuare and Savegre rivers.

Hiking can be a great addition to any vacation itinerary, but what about when the purpose of the trip is the hike itself? For athletic and adventurous travelers alike, long-distance trails offer a unique opportunity for exploration and disconnection from the stressors of everyday life. While it’s true that long-distance hikes are likely to include plenty of obstacles of their own, they can also be incredibly rewarding. If you’re a distance hiker looking for your next challenge, read on to learn more about some of the world’s best trails. 

The Appalachian Trail

It turns out the notorious computer game we all loved as kids is named after a real-life long-distance trail in the Eastern United States. Spanning approximately 2,190 miles, the Appalachian Trail offers hikers the opportunity to explore a diverse range of ecosystems as they move from the forests of the South to the rocky terrain of New England. This trail is both challenging and highly rewarding, taking most hikers between 5 to 7 months to complete. 

Annapurna Circuit

For those in search of a bit more elevation, the Annapurna Circuit in Nepal stands out as a picturesque journey through some of the world’s highest peaks. At a height of 33,159 ft and a length of 145 miles, the trail circumnavigates the Annapurna Massif in the Himalayas, offering hikers postcard-worthy views of alpine landscapes and traditional villages along the way. On average, the trail takes about 2-3 weeks to complete depending on skill level and the specific route travelers choose to take.

Te Araroa Trail

Literally translated as “The Long Path”, New Zealand’s Te Araroa Trail offers adventure enthusiasts the chance to take in a diverse array of the country’s natural wonders through one 1,800-mile trek. The trail was officially opened in 2011 and consists of a series of tracks and walkways that connect New Zealand’s North and South Islands. Most hikers will require about 4-5 months to complete the trail, with October to November recommended as the best times to start.

Below the surface of Britain, there is a dark parallel world of subterranean tunnels and deep caverns. Here are 5 top destinations if you want to go exploring Britain’s underworld.

Ease Gill Caverns, Yorkshire

The largest cave system in Britain, Ease Gill is made up of over 40 miles of subterranean passageways. Slip into these crevices and you will feel like you’re on the other side of the world.

Alum Pot, Yorkshire

This is an 80m open shaft drop. You can be led to it by caving experts via the underground streams, or by abseiling down to it.

Swildon’s Hole, Somerset

Located in the infamous caving district of the Mendips, here you can find the largest subterranean river network in Britain with a whole city of caves and crevices to explore.

Giant’s Hole, Peak District

This technical and complex caving network consists of narrow tunnels and unusual rock formations. It even has underground waterfalls to discover.

Do you have a fear of heights? Well, Portugal’s newest spot for thrill-seeking adventurers might not be for you!

516 Arouca is set to open this fall as the world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge, and it’s easy to see why it will take some guts to cross it.

Hanging 575 feet above the ravine which hosts Paiva River at the bottom of it, this new bridge is held by only two concrete V-shaped towers on either side of the ravine. This means that the footpath sways and rocks with the wind and with the motion of people crossing it!

Measuring at 1,692 feet long, depending on how scared you are, it will take about five to 10 minutes to cross in its entirety.

Part of the Arouca Geopark, a paradise for nature lovers in Portugal’s north-central Aveiro district, you’ll be able to see panoramic views of the Paiva River, the mountainous terrain, and the Aguieiras Waterfall if you’re brave enough to look anywhere but forward as you cross!

The COVID-19 pandemic has delayed its opening, but the new bridge is all tested and ready and set to open before Christmas this year!

A 12 euro admission ticket will grant you access to the bridge as well as the Passadiços do Paiva hiking route in the park. If you find yourself in Portugal and looking for a thrill, this unique attraction is a must-visit.

South Africa is an amazing country, rich in unique nature, wildlife, and complex history. While this is a great destination for a trip, it is important to keep safety measures as certain parts of the country are still considered dangerous for travelers.

Driving

Due to the long travel distances and the long time you will spend in the car, it is advisable to rent a relatively large and safe vehicle. Even if you have GPS, it is important that you carefully examine the route before you set off, especially in the east of the country. The GPS may take you through side roads, dirt roads, and roads that are not suitable for a regular vehicle. Avoid driving at night as much as possible, especially on unlit side roads, where wildlife often roams. 

Cities

It is advisable to avoid walking outside in the dark, especially in cities where crime rates are high such as Johannesburg. Avoid carrying a lot of money and valuables with you as much as possible. Keep your cell phone and other valuables in an inner pocket. 

It is important to be careful and vigilant when withdrawing money from ATMs, and it is better to carry side bags rather than backpacks.

Ever considered going on a hitchhiking adventure? This is how to keep it fun.

Pick a Good Spot

Help the cars stop for you and stand at a spot where it is safe, legal, and easy to stop, and where the speed is relatively low.

Look Clean

You don’t need to dress formal but if you look clean and tidy people will feel more comfortable letting them into their space.

Patience, But Not Too Much

Be patient but know when to call it a day and move to another spot and don’t get in a car that feels wrong just because it’s been a long wait.

Keep It Happy

This is good for you, but also will make people want to stop for you. Have a happy song in your head and a positive attitude.

Be Available

Once in the car be present, don’t spend the entire trip staring at your phone. Prepare some conversation topics and anecdotes to share with the drivers.

Be Generous

If you can contribute gas money, and if you have food share it.

Have a Destination, But Be Flexible

It’s good to know where you’re going, but wait to hear where the driver is heading, perhaps it’s a better idea!

Read the Room

If the dynamic isn’t fun, make up an excuse to be dropped off sooner. This will help both you and the driver.

Don’t Hitchhike If It Scares You

Bottom line, hitchhiking isn’t for everyone. Only do it if it’s fun.

The famous story of the traveler Christopher McCandless gained international attention in 1996 when the book Into the Wild was written by John Krakauer. When the movie came out in 2007, Chris’s story became even more famous, and with it, the infamous “Magic Bus”.

While the story has a sad ending, the famous Stampede Trail has become a pilgrimage for many avid travelers trying to recreate Chris’s free spirit and adventure. Many hikers from all over the world attempt to complete the dangerous hike through the beautiful Alaskan wilderness.

https://www.instagram.com/p/B800UmxCNGm/

Before setting out on the 20-mile adventure, make sure to check with the authorities that it is safe, the weather is dependable, and most importantly, that they know you are out there and when you are expected back. The most dangerous part is crossing the Teklanika River where extreme caution should be taken.

For those not wanting to do the 40-mile roundtrip hike, or those waiting out the bad weather, there is another option for how to experience a piece of the adventuresome spirit. 49th State Brewery in Healy, Alaska holds the replica of the bus that was used to film the movie, and is filled with artifacts and pictures from the creation.

Below the surface of Britain, there is a dark parallel world of subterranean tunnels and deep caverns. Here are 5 top destinations if you want to go exploring Britain’s underworld.

Ease Gill Caverns, Yorkshire

The largest cave system in Britain, Ease Gill is made up of over 40 miles of subterranean passageways. Slip into these crevices and you will feel like you’re on the other side of the world.

Alum Pot, Yorkshire

This is an 80m open shaft drop. You can be led to it by caving experts via the underground streams, or by abseiling down to it.

Swildon’s Hole, Somerset

Located in the infamous caving district of the Mendips, here you can find the largest subterranean river network in Britain with a whole city of caves and crevices to explore.

Giant’s Hole, Peak District

This technical and complex caving network consists of narrow tunnels and unusual rock formations. It even has underground waterfalls to discover.

Fingal’s Cave, Inner Hebrides

Described by Walter Scott as  “one of the most extraordinary places I ever beheld,” this majestic cave is like a natural, geological cathedral in which the ancient material of the Earth pays homage.

Do you have a fear of heights? Well, Portugal’s newest spot for thrill-seeking adventurers might not be for you!

516 Arouca is set to open this fall as the world’s longest pedestrian suspension bridge, and it’s easy to see why it will take some guts to cross it.

Hanging 575 feet above the ravine which hosts Paiva River at the bottom of it, this new bridge is held by only two concrete V-shaped towers on either side of the ravine. This means that the footpath sways and rocks with the wind and with the motion of people crossing it!

Measuring at 1,692 feet long, depending on how scared you are, it will take about five to 10 minutes to cross in its entirety.

Part of the Arouca Geopark, a paradise for nature lovers in Portugal’s north-central Aveiro district, you’ll be able to see panoramic views of the Paiva River, the mountainous terrain, and the Aguieiras Waterfall if you’re brave enough to look anywhere but forward as you cross!

The COVID-19 pandemic has delayed its opening, but the new bridge is all tested and ready and set to open before Christmas this year!

A 12 euro admission ticket will grant you access to the bridge as well as the Passadiços do Paiva hiking route in the park. If you find yourself in Portugal and looking for a thrill, this unique attraction is a must-visit.

South Africa is an amazing country, rich in unique nature, wildlife, and complex history. While this is a great destination for a trip, it is important to keep safety measures as certain parts of the country are still considered dangerous for travelers.

Driving

Due to the long travel distances and the long time you will spend in the car, it is advisable to rent a relatively large and safe vehicle. Even if you have GPS, it is important that you carefully examine the route before you set off, especially in the east of the country. The GPS may take you through side roads, dirt roads, and roads that are not suitable for a regular vehicle. Avoid driving at night as much as possible, especially on unlit side roads, where wildlife often roams. 

Cities

It is advisable to avoid walking outside in the dark, especially in cities where crime rates are high such as Johannesburg. Avoid carrying a lot of money and valuables with you as much as possible. Keep your cell phone and other valuables in an inner pocket. 

It is important to be careful and vigilant when withdrawing money from ATMs, and it is better to carry side bags rather than backpacks.

Ever considered going on a hitchhiking adventure? This is how to keep it fun.

Pick a Good Spot

Help the cars stop for you and stand at a spot where it is safe, legal, and easy to stop, and where the speed is relatively low.

Look Clean

You don’t need to dress formal but if you look clean and tidy people will feel more comfortable letting them into their space.

Patience, But Not Too Much

Be patient but know when to call it a day and move to another spot and don’t get in a car that feels wrong just because it’s been a long wait.

Keep It Happy

This is good for you, but also will make people want to stop for you. Have a happy song in your head and a positive attitude.

Be Available

Once in the car be present, don’t spend the entire trip staring at your phone. Prepare some conversation topics and anecdotes to share with the drivers.

Be Generous

If you can contribute gas money, and if you have food share it.

Have a Destination, But Be Flexible

It’s good to know where you’re going, but wait to hear where the driver is heading, perhaps it’s a better idea!

Read the Room

If the dynamic isn’t fun, make up an excuse to be dropped off sooner. This will help both you and the driver.

Don’t Hitchhike If It Scares You

Bottom line, hitchhiking isn’t for everyone. Only do it if it’s fun.

The famous story of the traveler Christopher McCandless gained international attention in 1996 when the book Into the Wild was written by John Krakauer. When the movie came out in 2007, Chris’s story became even more famous, and with it, the infamous “Magic Bus”.

While the story has a sad ending, the famous Stampede Trail has become a pilgrimage for many avid travelers trying to recreate Chris’s free spirit and adventure. Many hikers from all over the world attempt to complete the dangerous hike through the beautiful Alaskan wilderness.

Before setting out on the 20-mile adventure, make sure to check with the authorities that it is safe, the weather is dependable, and most importantly, that they know you are out there and when you are expected back. The most dangerous part is crossing the Teklanika River where extreme caution should be taken.

For those not wanting to do the 40-mile roundtrip hike, or those waiting out the bad weather, there is another option for how to experience a piece of the adventuresome spirit. 49th State Brewery in Healy, Alaska holds the replica of the bus that was used to film the movie, and is filled with artifacts and pictures from the creation.
