Which are the best countries to do adventure tourism?
Travel just wouldn’t be the same without heart-pumping adventures, would it?Here are some of my top picks:New ZealandWhen you want to push the boundaries of thrills, New Zealand is your place. Queenstown alone offers jet boating, bungy jumping, whitewater rafting, zip lining, sky diving, caving and skiing. Hike a glacier, mountain bike through wild terrain and leap off cascading waterfalls - whatever gets your adrenaline going, you’ll find it here.FinlandExtreme sports take place on a backdrop of incredible natural surrounds, across Finland. Take a husky ride through snowy forests, dare to dip in freezing lakes, go on a wildness hunt to spot the Northern Lights, tackle ice-climbing and dive beneath broken ice to see shipwrecks.AustraliaDive with Great White sharks, or crocodiles in the Cage of Death, do hot laps around the track in V8’s, ride the rapids on Tasmania’s Franklin River and tackle the world’s highest commercial abseil down the face of the Gordan Dam.Journey into the Outback, explore the Great Barrier Reef, soar over vineyards in a hot air balloon and skydive over sparkling coastlines. The options for adventure tourism in Australia are, literally, endless.IndiaAdventure tourism in India is more about getting out of your comfort zone, than jumping out of planes. For example, a sunset boat ride on the Ganges, in Varanasi, is a mind-expanding experience like no other.However, you can certainly embark on guided tours to spot snow leopards, trek the sacred mountain of Kinner Kailash, mountain bike in Kerala and cliff jump in Rishikesh. For one of the most colorful adventures you’ll ever have, visit during the Holi Festival in March.SingaporeIf city-based adventures are more your thing, Singapore delivers. Body dive in the world’s largest themed vertical wind tunnel, at iFly. Hop in a Lamborgini for heart-stopping laps on the Formula One circuit, dare the G-Max Reverse Bungy at Clarke Quay and gaze at panoramic views from the Singapore Flyer, which is one of Asia’s largest observation wheels.Happy adventuring!
