Go Camping

Do you fancy putting your survival skills to the test? If so, then a camping trip is probably perfect for you. Nothing beats getting down and dirty with nature when you’re camping. You create your own shelter, cook food using a hand-built fire, and fall asleep surrounded by the wilderness. It’s also great for people who like hiking or backpacking. You have the complete freedom to explore whatever you want. Just remember, camping is no mean feat. Be sure to prepare thoroughly and bring plenty of waterproof gear.

Road Trip

Rather than exploring the world by foot, why don’t you invest in a motorhome instead and travel the world with your trusty vehicle companion? This increases the scope of your adventure. Road trips are incredibly exciting because you have the freedom to travel wherever you want – and you don’t necessarily need a plan. In fact, their spontaneity is all part of the fun. There’s a very good reason why there are so many ‘road trip’ Hollywood films. Have a look at this selection of Motorhomes Scotland to find the perfect vehicle for your expedition.

Safari Holiday

There’s nothing more thrilling than getting up close and personal with some of nature’s most fearsome creatures. If you fancy a bit of adventure and danger, then you should definitely go on a safari holiday. You can travel through the wilderness, looking for the rarest animals on the planet. In the process, you’ll find you feel closer to nature and all its creatures. Though things like lions and rhinos might look scary, they are peaceful and simply want to live. So, if you are going on a safari, make sure to respect the animals and don’t interrupt their habitats.

Yacht Charter

A yacht charter holiday is when you sail a yacht that has no additional crew. Instead, you and your travel companions must be self-sufficient and learn how to steer the boat yourselves. Nautical holidays are ideal for people with a background in watersports and who love the idea of embarking on a swashbuckling odyssey. You can sail wherever you want, from different islands to foreign docks. Or you could just anchor yourself in the middle of the ocean. This is the ultimate form of escapism from the real land-based world.

These are some of our favourite adventure holidays. Now you have ideas and inspiration, go out and explore the world!
