Adventure Luxury Travel Ideas

Planning your honeymoon can be an exhausting process that often takes up just as much time as planning a wedding.  However, honeymoon vacations should also be relaxing and allow you to appreciate the time with your spouse.  To avoid the planning, consider a honeymoon vacation package.  It will save time, money, and allow you to keep your minds on each other and off distractions.  Here are a few popular honeymoon destinations that often have vacation packages:

~Fiji, the classic island paradise, sun, white sand, and beautiful scenery.

~Aspen, for the couple who love skiing, snowboarding, or just a mountainous and rugged natural environment.

~Brazil, a modern metropolis attached to a breathtaking beach and coastal area, for couples who enjoy modern comforts and sunbathing.

Asia is an entire continent rich in historical landmarks dating back as much as two thousand years.  When considering unique places to travel, Asia is a sure winner amongst dozens of others.  Countries like China, Mongolia, Burma, Laos, and Thailand are rich in natural and manmade beauty, unrivaled except perhaps by the great Aztec cities of Southern America.  In these Asian countries you will find temples that date back thousands of years, and were the pinnacles of modern architecture in their times.  You will also find waterfalls, mountains, and dense jungles inhabited by species of animals found nowhere else in the world.  If you’re more interested in contemporary structures, downtown Beijing is one of the most modern places in the world and boasts some amazing modern marvels of architecture and art. 

Asia travel is a great way to spend a vacation, and also an affordable option.  Less developed countries like Thailand can cost literally pennies a day to visit.

Before traveling anywhere, a good rule of thumb is to research what there is to see and do. Here are some ideas in case you decide to travel South Africa:

• Kruger National Park: a top safari destination, where you can go on game drives and walk freely around the park, which is home to 147 different species, including lion prides and elephant herds.
• Cape Town: The second-largest city in South Africa has been rated the best travel destination in South Africa, and one of the best in the world. There are many sights to see, including Table Mountain, and the penguin colony at Boulders Beach.
• Garden Route: A tapestry of large trees, freshwater lakes and deep gorges, stretched along Africa’s coast. This gorgeous strip of Africa’s beauty is a must-see, and is home to animals such as dolphins and whales, and some of Africa’s best beaches.

When thinking of adventure travel, or luxury travel, a train isn’t generally the first thing that comes to mind. But that is exactly what adventureluxurytravels.net offers. Exotic train tours through Africa will take tourists to Hwange, Matabo Game Reserves and Antelope Park, Bulawayo Rail Museum, and Botswana, all before entering South Africa.

The train ride offers exotic sights and stops, and provides passengers with a sense of luxury the whole way. The train cars are made up of suites and deluxe suites, and offer a lounge car, observation car and dining car.

  Yes, Extreme or Xtreme or X-treme Adventure, no matter how you spell it, is alive and well in Swaziland, South Africa. Extreme sports are coming under more and more regulation is this litigious society. Especially in America where everyone sues at the drop of a hat or in the case of extreme adventure sports, the drop of a hand line, or a board. Swaziland seems to be the exception to this rule. They are adding more and more Xtreme sports items and adventures to their list.

Take the picture above as an example. This is single person white water rafting taken to the extreme! It is described by its suppliers as “a full day of white-water survival on the upper Usutu. This is NOT for novices and is undoubtedly the wildest, craziest white-water commercially available in Africa.”  want to try this one? It is being offered in a country where they regulate the great white shark cage diving but little else so the adrenaline just keeps pumping! Fly down the wildest river you have ever been on by yourself. No guide, no raft handler, just you and a paddle!

Got your juices flowing? Ready to go? You have to do it now! It is available summer months only. In South Africa this means it is just starting now. Remember, in the Southern Hemisphere the seasons are the opposite of those of us in North America and Europe.

Any other extreme sports you would like to discuss? Been on this rafting adventure before? let us know how it went.
