Every avid traveler has their own bucket list which definitely includes at least one sport activity that they want to try out before dying. Whether it’s bungee jumping or cliff facing camping there is always something offbeat, extremely dangerous, yet adventurous that is always in the checklist of these vagabonds.
If you are one of them or you have just started with your wilderness journey, then we have curated some adventure activities you might consider adding to your bucket list.
1) BUNGEE JUMPING
It is an activity that involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord. It is an amazing free-falling experience, especially when done off a cliff.
Best Place to try: Macau Tower, Macau
Falling from a platform 233m high, you will experience a 4-5 second freefall before stretching the 50 meter Bungy cord nearly four times its unloaded length and rebounding at approximately 30 meters above the ground.
2) CLIFF FACE CAMPING
Hanging impugnable in tents off a 4,000ft vertical cliff face isn’t everyone’s cup of tea but some daredevils love to hang on the cliffs and pitch their tents thousands of feet up.
Best place to try: Laojun Mountain, China
Sleep in anchored tents while perched on a 1,700-meter cliff face and be rewarded with breathtaking views of the sea of clouds that fills up the valley below.
3) SNORKELING AND DIVING
Scuba diving is a mode of underwater diving in which a diver with the help of breathing apparatus, explores the best of the sea world.
Best place to try: Aqaba, Jordan
Aqaba, at the northeastern tip of the Red Sea, is the only coastal city in Jordan. Home to some beautiful, indigenous varieties of coral reefs, it has about 30 diving sites. Snorkeling and scuba diving are two of the most popular aquatic adventure activities in the area.
4) KAYAKING
Kayaking is the use of a kayak for moving over the water. It is distinguished from canoeing by the sitting position of the paddler and the number of blades on the paddle.
Best place to try: Peurto Rico
Try the Río Grande de Anasco river in Peurto Rico. The river has lots of twists & turns, and ups & downs, to make for an exciting and fun adventure.
5) CANYONING
Canyoning is the sport of jumping into a fast-flowing mountain stream and allowing oneself to be carried downstream at high speed.
Best place to try: Dead Sea
410m below sea level, next to the Dead Sea, within the deep Wadi Mujib gorge lies one of the lowest nature reserves in the world. The Mujib Nature reserve then rises 900m above sea level, to mountains in the north and south. The 1300m elevation drop creates an excellent terrain for some dramatic canyoning.
