How was your last vacation? Did you have a blast? Did you find excitement? Was there some time to kick back and relax or did your last vacation consist of getting your family to and fro, with a little yard work and household chores thrown in? Was your last “vacation” actually a “staycation”? Why not go for something unusual this year? When you have a small amount of time off, why not check into some of the adventure travels available near your home. Even if you don’t leave your state limits there are still plenty of adventures to be had. If you have the funds, why not spend a little on yourself and have a true adventure? Here are some incredibly trendy adventure travels.

Dog sledding is a great adventure! You might be under the impression that dog sledding is a professional sport and not for amateurs. If you’re thinking about the Iditarod, you’re right. If, however, you just want to learn what it is like to go dog sledding and to have an adventure you should try the package deals at Alaskan Husky Adventures. This group offers package deals for both two and three day adventures. You bring your own groceries and stay in their cabins and during the day trained professionals teach you the basics of dog sledding and take you on guided tours.

Are you an experienced hunter but getting bored of the wild game on your side of the mountain? Why not go on a hunting travel adventure?

Just about every continent has some type of tour and businesses that will show you how to hunt the animals available in their home regions. Do you have a desire to go hunting in Africa for the larger-than-life (non-endangered) wild animals? You can accomplish it. Are you into hunting out in the wild west of America? You can do that too. The largest decision you’ll have to make for a hunting excursion is picking what you want to go hunting for. From that point the only thing you need to do is figure out logistics, like: “how will I get my hunting gear there or will they provide it?”

Do you love the idea of seeing big game right up close? Have you always dreamed of seeing exotic animals in their native habitats? Why not partake on an African Safari. There are tours that visit various locations on the continent of Africa. Decide on one of the many trusted outfits and allow them to show you where to see hippos, elephants and giraffes in the natural habitat. Look at prides of lions and packs of hyenas. See birds that you’ve only seen in the zoo. If you love animals, a Safari is one of the best ways to experience adventure travels.

Adventure travels don’t have to be unrestricted, ritzy and unconventional. Sometimes they involve taking daytime adventures while returning to a relaxing setting at night. The main purpose of an adventure vacation is to have an amusing time, while being active. Luckily, there is something for almost every adventurer to do – even if they one have a short vacation time in which to do it. When you begin making arrangements for your next vacation, why not participate in an adventurer’s lifestyle? You can choose to relax at the spa next time.
