Below are a few of the world's most adventurous antics for dare-devil souls wishing to escape mundane holiday locations. This is when packing plenty of spare undies is not for the usual reason and taking a partner is optional.
The adventure tourism hub of Pucon in Chile is a magnet for those sybarites and pleasure mongers seeking heart-stopping moments, whether it's winter, summer or any month in between. Pucon is the town that adrenalin junkies in Chile talk about.
Not everyone's cup of tea—flying in a helicopter gets the adrenalin pumping out of sheer excitement. That sense of being pushed down in your seat when it takes off, the noisy blades whizzing so you have to wear a headset, and the ultimate bird's-eye
What is your favourite destination and why?New Zealand! It’s full of untouched and surreal landscapes, as well as a hub for all kinds of adrenaline-filled activities. That’s my kind of playground!What was your worst/scariest travel
The aquatic playground of Airlie Beach caters to all sorts of wanderlusters: the flip- flop brigade who love to munch on meat pies, the designer clad souls seeking exclusive experiences, adrenalin junkies looking for the next new thrill and everyone in between, whether you are an individual, group of friends, or mum and dad with kids in tow. Home to Heart Reef, the famous silica sands of Whitehaven Beach and 74 tropical islands on the Great Barrier Reef, this is the gateway to abandonment, disconnection and discovery of the beautiful world we live in.
Whether it's the whizz of a line flying through the air in that oh-so-perfect cast, or the adrenalin rush when you try to land that fighting fish; fishing for some is a lifetime passion. The bonus – it might be dinner if the fish doesn't spit out the hook. From chasing marlin to hooking a barramundi, wading in water to get that silver salmon or hunting down a feisty tigerfish, fishing is one of life's simple pleasures.
Short of doing a shape-shifting exercise to become a soaring bird of prey, a helicopter tour is the next best thing for an adrenalin rush that will leave you in awe of the world. From UNESCO World Heritage Sites to the wonders of the world, man-made sky-scraping cities, and into the mouths of volcanoes, helicopter rides give you an unforgettable feast for the eyes and plenty of camera candy moments.
You don't have to be a dedicated ski monster or an adrenaline junkie to flock to the Swiss-inspired town of San Carlos de Bariloche. The burg that literally oozes chocolate everywhere you look is famous for the ski destination of Cerro Catedral.
