You can spend your vacation jumping from amusement park to amusement park f roller coasters are your thing. Six Flags Magic Mountain, Disney Land and Knott's Berry Farm are clustered so close to each other in California that you can visit all three during a five-day vacation. Plus each park has its own flair; together the trio offers a wide selection of high-speed roller coasters, drenching rafting adventure rides and novelty attractions.
Five days is more than enough time for experienced and aspiring kayak, canoe and raft enthusiasts to enjoy a white-water adventure. Veterans may want to check out the Gunnison River in Gunnison Gorge, Colorado. The area features 2,800 feet of cascading water. For a more urban excursion try the kayak park in Reno, Nevada. It runs right through the city's downtown area. You can still try out this adventure vacation idea, even if you don't have much experience under your belt. Just seek out tour companies that provide equipment and experienced guides.
Going on an African safari can be a real life-changing experience, if you have the funds. Most safari travel packages include a Jeep-driven journey out into the wild. During your trip, you may experience first-hand encounters with an array of animals most people only see in picture books and zoos including elephants, hippos and crocodiles. Plus thanks to Africa's varied terrain, you can also enhance your trip itinerary by adding rafting and hiking outings.
With proper planning, ski destinations can be the perfect backdrop for a skiing adventure. For example, experienced skiers and snowboarders looking for a new thrill can seek resorts and companies that offer heli-skiing, off-trail skiing that can only be accessed by helicopter rather than a ski lift. Heli-skiiers get to experience picturesque mountain settings and pristine skiing conditions, but there are risks involved and proper research is necessary. Select a reputable tour company to arrange your trip. Make sure you are mentally and physically up to the challenge as well.
