Many people
associate the word 'adventure' with daring,
adrenalin pumping activities, we believe it
can also mean trying an activity or sport
you would not normally do. Some of the
more common sports are detailed below but
there are many others, some require
particular conditions others are available
in many destinations. Some require you
to really participate others are more
passive. What ever it is that you have
always wanted to try but never got round or
really enjoy but don't know where its
available, let us help make it happen.
From ballooning to mountain biking, rock
climbing to rafting, winter-sports to whale
watching, we can tell you where.

Whitewater Rafting
Not all rafting trips are created equal.
Rivers can be relatively calm or be raging
and it is important to be aware of different
rafting classifications for rapids. Rapids
are rated on a scale of 1 to 6, with 1 being
the easiest and 6 the most difficult. Any
rating system is only a rough approximation
of what you may actually encounter as rapids
are greatly affected by river flows and
other factors.
In general, rafting trips can be divided
into short-duration trips of 1-2 days (a day
trip is typically a rafting trip of 3 to 5
hours duration) An overnight trip
includes one or more nights camping or
lodging and one or two days rafting.
Most whitewater day trips provided by
professional river-rafting companies feature
Class 3 and 4 rapids.
Long duration or multi-day expedition trips
are typically 3 to 14 days in length. Some
rafting expeditions feature big whitewater
whereas others may consist of slow-moving
Class 1-2 water and the main highlight is
the scenery. Others provide a mix
of floating and whitewater.
Whitewater
rafting destinations include:-
Australia, Ethiopia, France, India, Morocco,
Malaysia,
Nepal,
New Zealand, Scotland,
Sri Lanka,
Thailand, Turkey & USA.

Golf

over the world, they all are unique in their
own way varying in terrain and difficulty.

Winter Sports
Initially
skiing was not a vacation recreation but a
means of transport in winter in Northern
Europe and parts of Asia. Modern
skiing developed in the 1850's and by the
early 1900s had grown into a popular
competitive sport in Europe with the first
downhill classic in 1911in Switzerland.
Now there are resorts all over the world
offering different types of terrain, levels
of difficulty and apres ski. There are
resorts for
everyone from the complete beginner to the
advanced professional. Many resorts
have snowmaking machines helping to extend
the often limited vacation period.
Today skiing and the more modern sport of
snowboarding are two of the most popular winter
sports. |
The ski
season varies depending on snow conditions
but generally is from December to April in
the northern hemisphere and June to
September in the southern hemisphere.
Equipment hire is usually available in the
resorts.
Ski destinations include:- Australia,
Austria, Canada, France, India, Iran, Italy,
Japan,
Lebanon, Nepal,
New Zealand, South
Africa, Switzerland & USA. |
