Adventurers looking for their next big trip are certain to find unique thrills all throughout the world. From sandboarding to cliff jumping, these destinations offer an escape unlike any other, and will keep your adrenaline peaked from start to finish:
- Sandboard in the Atacama Desert - Located in Chile, the Atacama Desert is a 1000 km strip of land on the Pacific Coast. Never ending dunes create the perfect atmosphere for some gnarly sandboarding that will have you shredding the sand as if you were snowboarding in Colorado – minus the snow jacket.
- Bungee Jump in China - At 764 feet high, the Macau Tower currently holds the record as the highest bungee jump platform in the world. Even if you’ve bungeed before, there’s nothing quite like a Guinness World Record holding jump to get your heart pounding and adrenaline pumping.
- Skydive Over New Zealand - If nothing can tie you down and bungee jumping isn’t your style, lose the cords and skydive over New Zealand’s South Island. Outrageously beautiful views of New Zealand await as you plummet and float all the way back down to the earth. All you have to do is jump!
- Ride a Hot Air Balloon in Zimbabwe - The best way to get a view of Zimbabwe’s main attraction, Victoria Falls, is by floating along in a hot air balloon and daring to peek out to take it all in. As the tour groups tend to remain on the smaller side, you’ll get a much more personalized tour of the falls that not many can claim to have experienced.
- Dive With Sharks in Australia - The Neptune Islands play host to a diving company that offers once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to swim with some of the world’s most feared creatures. These massive great white sharks aren’t as big as they have appeared on the silver screen, but they’re certain to make you feel like you need a bigger boat.
- Slide in the Bahamas - The Leap of Faith is a near-vertical 60-foot drop from the top of the famous Mayan Temple in the Bahamas, and it’s known for it’s ability to stop avid thrill seekers dead in their tracks. If you can take the plunge, you’ll be rewarded with a ride through a clear submerged tunnel in a shark-filled lagoon.
- Cliff Jump in Jamaica - Rick’s Cafe offers a one-of-a-kind 35-foot jump unlike any other in the world. Located in Negril, this jump brings tourists from all over the world to either take the leap or sit on the sidelines and sip margaritas from the bar. Either way, you’re certain to have a great time surrounded by the beautiful scenery of the Jamaican coast.
