5 Extreme Thrills Perfect for the Entire Family

We all love theme parks and water slides. However, they can get a little old when you visit them all the time. Sometimes, you need something a little more exotic. Luckily, there are some fantastic places across the globe with extreme thrills perfect for the entire family. So, maybe it’s time to flex your adventure muscles a little and make your next trip an unforgettable one.

Whitewater River Lodges

Not all families like to lounge around in the sun all day getting a tan. However, suppose your family is of a more physical disposition. In that case, you will benefit more from a river lodge holiday as extreme as it is relaxing. Usually located near fast-flowing rivers, vacation packages like New and Gauley River Adventure offer exciting opportunities and experiences. The remote location of these rivers means whitewater rafting, hiking, and horseback riding are just a few of the wild adventures on offer.

Deep Forest Excursions

Get into the woods as you’ve never experienced them before. Trained tour guides offer your family the chance to trek the forests of remote places with rich histories. For example, a deep excursion into the heart of Borneo provides education and fun in equal measure. You will learn adventuring skills that last a lifetime, such as camping, fire lighting, and sourcing water and food. All under the song of the forest and inhabitants like the long-nosed probosci’s monkey.

A Grand American Adventure

A wild American adventure is the stuff of dreams for millions of people. The freedom and appeal of something like a cowboy prevail to this day, as the American Dream stays omnipresent and glorious. US national parks such as Mesa Verde, Death Valley, and Yosemite offer an extraordinary glimpse into American nature, history, and folklore in equal measure. Tour guides are typically native Navajo, and the proceeds of your payment go towards the benefit of the local communities.

The Other Side of the Woods

One of the most intriguing places on earth is one steeped in myth, legend, and horror. Transylvania and its most infamous inhabitant, Vlad the Impaler, are the source of inspiration for Bram Stoker’s seminal classic horror novel, Dracula. Tours of the count’s looming Bran castle offer a small glimpse into the historical and tyrannical terror that plagued the region. Perhaps not for the faint of heart and younger kids, one of the most popular packages lets you experience a vampire-slaying, an ancient spiritual ceremony, and an undead feast. 

Indian Tiger Spotting

Currently, there are more than 5,000 tigers in the United States. Tigers are endangered. So, while this figure sounds like a lot, there are estimated to be less than 4,000 in the wild. While tigers didn’t originate in Asia, it is believed they migrated there from Africa. India is home to the largest wild tiger population. Therefore, you can safely travel to some of the most beautiful parts of the country. And if you are lucky, you might spot these magnificent large cats in their natural environment in areas such as Rajasthan. Yet, even if you don’t get to see one, there’s always the Taj Mahal.
