Top vacations for those who need an adventure
1. Brazil
Brazil’s natural biodiversity and stunning scenery offer the perfect backdrop for thrilling adventure activities. The splendour of its capital, Rio de Janeiro, is best enjoyed with a bird’s eye view by hang gliding from the Sao Conrado neighbourhood.
You can also explore Natal, near Brazil’s Atlantic coast, by riding a dune buggy in Dune State Park where sand dunes can be as high as 30 feet! World-class whitewater rafting is also a popular activity in Brotas, Sao Paulo where the raging currents of Jacare Pepira River run.

2. Vietnam
In Vietnam, you can cruise around Ha Long Bay (a UNESCO World Heritage site) by day and sleep on a “junk boat” at night! You can be one of the locals as you visit floating fisherman villages and watch the sunset at dusk.
If you’re looking for a more thrilling adventure holiday, you can also rent a kayak and discover hidden caves and lime casts. Once you are there, take the plunge by jumping off the cliffs as well! Lastly, sandboarding in Mui Ne is a must-try if you’re up for some adrenaline rush. If you prefer to stay on land then taking a tour into the jungle will give you the best authentic trekking experience of Vietnam.
3. Australia
The vast outback and unique marine environment of Australia offers various opportunities for adventure seekers. Experience the most famous extreme sport, and get thrown off a bungee jump in Cairns! You can also get in a giant hamster ball and roll down a hill with zorbing in Gold Coast.
Of course, Australian adventure is incomplete without surfing in Byron Bay which is perfect for beginners. If you haven’t had enough of bungee jumping, go on and do skydiving here as well. Plummet earthwards as you savour the beautiful views of the Australian terrain and coastline.

4. Canada
If you’re looking for the best adventure activities for the brave! Canada benefits from its snowy slopes and vast pine-filled canopies. Get the chance to ski or snowboard on the magnificent slopes at Whistler. For a more laidback vibe, an amazing hike awaits along the East Coast trail with breathtaking views of the Atlantic coast. Cap off your Canadian escapade by traversing Banff’s Glacier Skywalk, a structure suspended between cliffs and hanging 918 feet above a glacier.
5. Morocco
Morocco is famous for its desert heat, medina walls, and colourful culture, yet this North African city offers surprising adventures beyond what meets the eye. Just outside the imperial city of Marrakech lies Ouzoud Waterfalls, one of Morocco’s natural wonders. Hike through the Ouzoud cascades and listen to the rushing water over the red rock cliffs.
Warm yourself up for the real deal that is to attempt climbing Mount Toubkal, the highest mountain in Northern Africa. Be prepared for the non-technical yet challenging climb. It takes an average of three days for the whole Toubkal trekking itinerary, but the jaw-dropping view of the Atlas Mountains at the summit makes the trip all worth it.
Whether you are a beach lover, a hiker, an adrenaline junkie, or a relaxed person simply in need of adventure, there are countless options to design the ultimate vacation adventure. Consider the five countries mentioned above and the spectacular and heart-thumping experiences that you can enjoy.

India is also a good place to visit if you are looking for an adventure especially the north India. Leh Ladakh has been a final destination for many foreigners as well as the locals also. So, don’t even miss India if you are looking for adventure.
