What is Adventure Travel?

Adventure travel means different things to different people and is as varied as the personalities that seek it. At AdventureLink, we view adventure as anything experiential in nature whether you’re seeking a meaningful cultural exchange; an opportunity to improve your skills, your health or wellbeing; the chance to participate in an activity that will get your heart pumping; or simply to learn something new and broaden your horizons. To us, adventure travel encompasses all of the above. It's all about experiences–unique, exciting, educational, meaningful, and quite possibly, life-changing.

If you’re a wildlife enthusiast, it could be the chance to see the Big Five on foot in Tanzania. For wine-lovers, a cycling tour through the Napa Valley vineyards may be more your speed. The daredevils out there may want to kick it up a notch and brave the rapids of Brazil's Rio Novo on a river rafting expedition, while the more spiritual may prefer a cultural yoga tour in India to meet their favorite guru. Our adventures can include anything from spotting a rare species of tropical fish in Palau, to rappelling 250-feet into a subterranean cavern in Australia to see some ancient rock art, to rescuing an endangered animal in the Amazon Rainforest.

Adventure travel isn't just for thrill-seekers and adrenaline junkies (though we have plenty to offer in that category too). It's for anyone looking for a vacation that's a little different, a bit more challenging, and a lot more rewarding. Whether you’re flying solo or traveling in a group, you’re bound to meet new people and open up your world.

No matter what your definition of adventure is, we have a trip for you. What's more, we make the planning process easy and–dare we say it–fun! If you can dream it, we can help you find it, and get you there. Yes, you! The fearless adventure traveler sitting in your cubicle pretending to work. Get out there!
