If you enjoy being outside and using your survival skills to live off the land, why not try an Australian Walkabout? These have gained popularity since one of the main characters form the television show Lost attempted to go on one. The whole idea of an Australian Walkabout is for you and your fellow adventuring friends go out into the Australian Outback with a guide. You solely live off the land, when participating in a walkabout. You hunt for and gather your own food, make your own shelter from any materials you can find and experience the "elements" that could come your way (weather, animals, etc). It is kind of like extreme camping and can be incredibly fulfilling. Dude Ranches can be great adventure travels for the whole family. The Ponderosa Ranch in Nebraska is a working and vacation ranch. You can sleep in the ranch's guest cabins. During the day you become a real working ranch hand. Guests ride horseback and assist in round up and driving the ranch's cattle from one section of the land to another. At night there are campfire stories to be shared, some home cooking to be enjoyed and some excellent activities to participate in. When you have some down time, you have a few different options, including hunting, fishing, hiking and taking a horseback ride. This is a really good vacation for families because they welcome people from all age groups and skill levels.

Have you ever thought about taking a deep sea fishing trip? For a majority of people, fishing doesn't enter their minds when they dream about adventure travels. When you are out on the big blue sea, however, fishing is much different. In addition to maneuvering the catching of a big fish, you are fighting the elements of the sea. Anything can happen at sea. The kind of deep-sea fish you want to catch will help you determine your vacation spot. However, if you prefer, you can always choose your location based on climate and "home base" scenery. A very trendy deep sea fishing spot is Hawaii. There are a variety of ways "adventure travels" can be defined. For some it includes outrageous activities like climbing the highest mountains in the world or experience crazy climate conditions. 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 some, adventure travels revolve around learning about new things and still having a relaxing trip. To summarize: it doesn't matter what kind of interests you have, you should be able to find an adventure vacation meant for you!
