Written by on January 27, 2020

 

Travel and exploration are all about pushing our limits and coming out on the other side with a new perspective and appreciation for life.

For some, it may consist of a quest for knowledge, understanding, and meaning. For others, it may comprise of excursions, immersive experiences, and activities that make them have to catch their breath.

For many of us, it’s both!

For those in the latter camp who like to take long leisurely walks on the wild side, do we have some info for you.

If you’re looking for a location that is guaranteed to get your heart racing, check out our list of five destinations for ultimate adrenaline-seekers.

 

1. White Water Rafting in the Grand Canyon, USA

 

Feel the rush of the water working in tandem with a rush of adrenaline, as you cut through the rapids of the mighty Colorado River.

Take in the awe-inspiring views of the Grand Canyon from an entirely new perspective as you glide along the calm portions of the river.

 

2. Bungee Jumping in Whistler, Canada

Don’t look down … or do!

Admire the panoramic views of the forest and mountains before taking the ultimate plunge towards the roaring Cheakamus River.

As you plummet further and further down, you are caught, just in the knick of time, by the elastic cord.

It’s an experience unlike any other, and a rush that you’ll never forget.

 

3. Ziplining in Chiang Mai, Thailand

Imagine being entirely engulfed by thick, lush rainforest, the chorus of jungle life echoing around you as you soar through the air like a mighty macaw.

Glide effortlessly through the canopy of the remarkably green Thai rainforest on a fantastic treetop adventure complete with high-flying courses and sweeping ziplines.

The rush of being up so high, combined with the genuine natural beauty of Chiang Mai, is sure to whisk you off your feet and give you a delicious dose of adrenaline.

 

4. Skydiving in Dubai, United Arab Emirates

We hate to be the bearers of bad news, but humans can’t fly.

We know, we know. It’s devastating information. However, you can come pretty close.

What makes skydiving in Dubai unique compared to anywhere else in the world is the fact that it’s a city jump. In contrast, many other destinations for the adrenaline-pumping activity are hosted in open, vacant areas.

You fly over the artificial archipelago of Palm Jumeirah, which provides you with surreal views of the entire city as well as the Persian Gulf.

 

5. Edgewalk along the CN Tower, Toronto, Canada

If you would like to live life on the edge literally, look no further than the CN Tower in Toronto.

At a height of 553 metres, you will feel as though you are leaning over the edge of the earth as your heart pounds, your palms sweat, and you revel in the excitement and adrenaline rush as you gaze to the booming metropolis below.

This experience allows you to gain a literal and figurative perspective on things while providing a fun and unique activity that is sure to be a perfect addition to your thrill-seeking repertoire.
