Is it a daunting task to decide where to go for your next vacation? Are you tired of the same old destinations you usually visit when you have vacation time? Shopping, gambling and lying on the beach can get old, right? Has the thought occurred to partake on an adventure travels vacation? These types of trips were meant for people like you, who want to get out into the great outdoors, test your limits and get active. Many individuals build up their savings for years to be able to partake on more extensive adventure vacations. By happy chance, there are some that don't take an arm and a leg. Here are some wonderful ideas for your next trip.

If you enjoy being outside and using your survival skills to live off the land, why not try an Australian Walkabout? These have gotten increasingly popular since one of the main characters on the television show Lost tried to go on one. The original thought for an Australian Walkabout was for you and your fellow adventurers to get out into the Australian Outback on a guided tour. While you are on your walkabout, you live entirely off the land. You search for your own food, construct your own shelf from the items you can find outside and take on any "elements" that could come your way (weather, animals, etc). It would be like extreme camping and can bring great satisfaction. Dude Ranches can be wonderful excursions for the entire family. The Ponderosa Ranch in Nebraska gives you an opportunity for laborious work and an exciting ranch vacation. You can stay in the ranch's guest cabins. During the day you become a real working ranch hand. Guests hop on horses and help gather up and drive the ranch's cattle from one field to another. At night there are campfire stories, home cooking and other great activities to take part in. During your free time you have tons of options, from hunting and fishing, or hiking to horseback riding. This is a terrific vacation for families because people from all age groups and skill levels can participate.

Try out a Llama Trek! Everybody has gone horseback riding. If you want some fun adventure travels without having to leave the country, check out the Hurricane Creek Llama Treks in Oregon. When you take one of these treks you will camp out--you're responsible for bringing your own gear (as well as setting it up and taking it down) as well as for packing and unpacking your llama bags. These are great trips because you can either ride your own llama in the Oregon wilderness or you can walk the trails and lead your llama behind you. When else over the course of your life will you be able to say that you've gone llama riding? There are tons of different ways "adventure travels" can be defined. For some it involves death-defying activities such as scaling the world's tallest mountains or putting oneself into an extreme climate condition. For some, it involves challenging situations they are not used to in their normal, everyday life - such as cattle driving and hiking in different lands, etc. Still for other individuals, adventure travels revolve around learning new things while still having a stress-free time. The short story is: no matter what you are into, you can find an adventure vacation to fit your taste!
