Anyone been on an adventure holiday?

Prophet · 29 Jul 2011 at 16:29

I'm looking for a holiday which is more than just sitting on the beach or seeing the sights. Something based around an activity such as rafting or canoeing rather than biking and treking.

I have a maximum of 9 days for this trip and will be going with a mate.

Anyone done anything like this before?

Whilst I may be going out on a limb here, I will wager one eating of a hat that someone somewhere has gone on holiday and done an activity such as the ones you've mentioned.

I went on a few http://www.pgl.co.uk/pglweb holidays when I was younger, but I imagine that you're too old for that.

Look up information about Interlaken, Switzerland. It's the extreme sport capital of Europe. You can do everything there, I imagine there'll be a tour operator that lumps a few of them together.
I only did canyoning when I was there (lack of funds) but it was great fun. The town is amazing as well, just full of people there to have a wicked sick awesome time dude! Rock on.

I've been looking at the pgl site earlier. Technically I'm too old but mentally I'm just about right

You can do various things such as mountain biking and camel trekking in the atlas mountains near marrakesh. I'm going camel trekking this november but only for a few days.

That sounds ideal. Skiing/boarding will be next year however technically I only learned to board a couple of years ago and until then was a blade/skier. Never been to anywhere except Europe skiiing so America/Canada is on the cards over the next couple of years.

I've never done any sailing. Can these holidays be done without any prior experience?

On mine as well, not only need to get fit but save about 4k, I would want to do that island Holliday afterwards as a reward, is it Zanzibar?
