In a world that’s moving at a faster and faster pace it seems with everyday there’s something about defying, adrenaline-rushing adventure activities that we can’t seem to get enough of. For most adrenaline junkies, each adventure activity gets one-upped on the next trip. Today we take on the heart of adrenaline junkies by highlighting the best destinations around the world to get your adventure on.

 

New Zealand

We thought about focusing on one region of New Zealand, but where there is so much adventure activities around the entire country, we just thought that wouldn’t do it justice. New Zealand is often an overlooked country because of nearby Australia, but offers so much, to be so small. Some of the adventure activities you can do includes spelunking as well as rafting rivers, but not just any rivers, these rivers are inside of caves and your only source of light are the glowworms that light the way.

 

 

Madagascar

Madagascar wasn’t just a good animated movie. To be a small African island, Madagascar packs a strong punch. The region offers a diverse landscape, which includes mountains, rainforests and beaches. Hold on tight in Madagascar for an adventure of spelunking. For the tough adrenaline junkie, you might try your hand at diving with sharks.

 

Copper Canyon, Mexico

Copper Canyon is adventure; the words are synonymous with each other. Take the scenic train to Copper Canyon and enjoy some of the best outdoor activities that Mexico has to offer. A mecca for climbers, for the lighter adrenaline junkie, there are many different types of hiking and mountain biking excursions.

 

 

Alaska

When you think of adventure, you often think of activities that involve snow and you can’t talk snow without Alaska. You can enjoy all the adrenaline pumping snow activities here from slalom skiing to snowboarding a half pipe. However, the real adrenaline junkie will take to the air for heli-skiing. Alaska offers some of the best terrain in the world, also, for dog sledding.

 

 

Patagonia

Patagonia is another destination in which the term “adventure” is synonymous with the name. Located in Chile and Argentina, Patagonia represents a certain membership into the world of adventure travel. Once you’ve conquered the mountains, water and wilderness of Patagonia, than you’re a true adventure traveler. Popular adventure activities include whitewater rafting and trekking through the Patagonia wilderness.
