Extreme activities are the best way to burn your memories when planning a vacation. Extreme means adrenaline rush racing and fear-conquering, as well as comfort-abandoning madness. While extreme adventures can vary depending on each person, these five activities will be the ultimate in extreme adventure. Sometimes it is not enough to visit another country and experience its culture. Many travelers want something that will shake them to their core. These travelers want to experience the ultimate adventure, even though it might mean they have to face life-threatening situations. It doesn’t take long before a new extreme sport is copied around the globe. It’s not a bad thing. However, travelers now have many options for where they can practice their favorite sport.
Volcano Boarding – Nicaragua
It is no longer enough to be close to a volcano’s rim, to fly over it in a helicopter or to marvel at how the lava glows during nighttime hikes. You have to do more than that. An Australian pioneered Volcano Boarding. He was located outside Leon, Nicaragua. You zip up your heat-resistant jacket, grab a board and hike down to the Sierra Nevada volcano. You can board at speeds up to 90kmph.
Your feet will break, and your nerves will keep you from hitting jagged volcanic rocks. The volcanic screen can be more complex than snow or sand.
Freshwater Cave Diving – Mexico
Deep-sea diving has its adventures and thrills. You won’t find freshwater cave diving in the ocean. Deep cave diving is touted as one of the last barriers of exploration on earth, and one of the significant stresses you can put on your body and requires a lot of experience, and often some self-designed technology, to allow access to these new technologies previously-unexplored areas. Even those with little experience can enjoy extreme sports in Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula.
Mexico’s cenotes have fantastic rock formations and stalactites, as well as fascinating mythology. They are gateways to underground rivers and cave systems that are only partially explored. This is a hazardous activity that can be rewarded with a waterproof camera.
Cheese Rolling – England
Cheese rolling is not a bizarre topic. It blends ancient tradition with high-octane thrills, and it can be dangerous. It is an extreme activity that has been exported to Australia, New Zealand, and Canada. However, it originated in Gloucester, England. A small wheel of Double Gloucester cheese, made from double Gloucester cheese, is rolled down Cooper’s Hill on the last Monday of May. It’s located near Brockworth, a quiet town. Several hundred runners follow it. Many of them become tumblers, some are injured or hurt in the chase, and many return yearly.
Heli-Skiing – Alaska
Heli-skiing, freshwater cave diving’s extreme version, is for those looking for something more radical than skiing. Heli-skiing involves you flying from an aircraft to reach virgin powder areas that are otherwise impossible. The stuff of Bond movies and viral videos, heli-skiing, has been banned in Europe but is still available in New Zealand and Canada. According to experts, Alaska’s Chugach Mountain Range has the softest and deepest powder.
These peaks are located deep within the 53,000km2 Wrangell–St Elias National Park. This is not a place that tourists will soon overrun, but it rewards those experienced enough to make the journey.
